Mondays just aren’t the same when the match coverage concerns a defeat rather than a victory. But, never mind, summer time is back and we’re off to Croke Park for the League final on Sunday. Things could be a lot worse. Right, let’s dive into the online coverage of yesterday’s defeat to Monaghan as well as the LGFA win over […]
Well, that’s our unbeaten run gone. The supporting cast put in an understandably disjointed display this afternoon against a hugely motivated Monaghan team, for whom the wily Conor McManus up front ran the show. With Armagh losing at Tyrone, the visitors sensed another great escape in the offing and they finished strongly to claim a deserved six-points win and, with […]
It’s a dreary, misty Monday morning in the west, more like November than the day on which the Spring Equinox falls. Despite this, there’s an undeniable spring in our collective step this morning. We’re still unbeaten, we’re in the Division One decider and we’re less than three weeks out from a Connacht SFC meeting with Roscommon, on Easter Sunday of […]
The other match involving Mayo today – the LGFA NFL Division One game against Galway – hasn’t got the focus it deserves, with all eyes on the lads and their match in Ballybofey. I’m not long in the door from the game at MacCumhaill Park so, sadly, the women’s match is only getting a brief mention here now but it’s […]
It’s been a long wait for us to record our first ever victory over Donegal on their home patch. That wait is now over following today’s demolition job over the O’Donnell County at MacCumhaill Park in Ballybofey, a venue where they’re notoriously difficult to beat but where we cantered to an eleven-point win today. While a first ever win for […]
On what has proved to be a hugely historic day for Ireland’s rugby team, Mayo’s hurlers this afternoon put in their second big performance in a row to seal their second win in this year’s NHL Division 3A campaign. As they did last weekend against Monaghan, they banged in five goals today against Louth, winning at Darver by 5-19 to […]
With a draw and two losses before this afternoon’s NHL Division 3A Round 4 meeting with Monaghan at Hastings Insurance MacHale Park, it’s safe to say that this spring campaign wasn’t going to plan for Mayo. Today’s overwhelming win over the Farney County was, then, as welcome as it was necessary, providing renewed hope that League relegation for a second […]
After another win for us yesterday – our third in a row in this year’s National League campaign – we’re sitting pretty at the top of the Division One table. That means more positive match coverage to wade through, which is never a bad way to start the week. Let’s start this particular week, though, with a quick look at […]
Let’s start with the good news. We’ve won again, for the third time in a row in this Division One campaign. We’re still unbeaten – the only team in the top tier with that boast – and we’re two points clear at the top of the table. And we’ve beaten the Rossies, on their home patch too, even though we […]
The county’s hurlers are enduring difficulties in this year’s NHL Division 3A campaign and their troubles deepened this afternoon as they fell to their second loss of the campaign. It’s a defeat that sees them rooted to the bottom of the table after three rounds, with successive relegations now a very real danger for them. Only last summer, the county […]
