It’s now three wins from three outings for Mayo in this year’s National League campaign and so, after topping Division Two North, James Horan’s side are now set for a trip to Ennis for a promotion-deciding divisional semi-final meeting with Clare on Sunday week. In this episode of the Mayo News football podcast, we review Sunday’s leisurely win in the […]
It’s a rare and rather strange situation in Gaelic football to be faced with a competitive match in which there’s absolutely no pressure on either side to get a result. That’s the position both ourselves and Meath find ourselves in today. A large part of this is the GAA’s own doing. Had they rewarded the North and South divisional winners […]
The 2021 inter-county season gets underway this coming weekend, with the first round of action in the National Hurling League taking place. For us, this means a Round 1 clash in NHL Division 2B against Derry. That match – which, needless to say, is behind closed doors – is fixed for MacHale Park next Sunday (9th May) where throw-in is […]
The new Mayo jersey, which will be worn this year by the county’s footballers (men and women) and hurlers, was unveiled this morning. The new design has strong echoes of the jersey that was used back in the Noughties and it marks a definite shift away from the version that was used up until the end of last year. Here’s […]
A few initiatives from Mayo GAA are worth a mention, not least in light of our appearance, once again, in an All-Ireland semi-final this year. The first is a project entitled Laochra Mhaigh Eo that seeks to honour teams that have represented the county with distinction down the years. This will be done via a celebration wall at MacHale Park […]
The one-match-only Mayo jersey that the team will be wearing in tomorrow night’s National League Division One game against Kerry at MacHale Park (throw-in 7.15pm) has been revealed. That’s it in the image above and very nice it looks too. Kudos to Croí, Mayo GAA and Elvery’s for helping to make this initiative happen. Don’t forget that tomorrow evening’s match […]
This day week the first shots will be fired in our 2019 Championship campaign. Often, it’s ahead of the start of summer action each year that supporters’ thoughts start to turn to the match-day gear they’d like to wear into battle. For those contemplating such sartorial choices this year is a bumper one on the jersey front. It’s easy to […]
It’s the day before the National Football League Division One decider and, for the first time in seven years, we’re in it. Time, I guess, for a day-before-the-big-match post. Sure, the match isn’t, in truth, all that big. The League is only the League and once the final is done with tomorrow there’ll be little in the way of hoopla […]
Two bit of news, with day-related hooks upon which to hang them. First is the unveiling today of the special commemorative jersey the senior team will wear in our Connacht Championship preliminary round fixture against New York over in Gaelic Park on Sunday, 5th May. The game in the Big Apple takes place the day after this year’s Mayo Day […]
We’ve named our team, they most likely won’t reciprocate until some time tomorrow – and then, of course, make a few further switches just prior to throw-in – so all that’s left to do now is to point you towards various things that need to be pointed towards as we head into our first meeting for a while with Dublin.
