Today was the last big day of the inter-county football year and over 44,000 turned up to Croke Park this afternoon for the LGFA All-Ireland finals. I didn’t get there in time to see the Junior or Intermediate deciders but I was there in the Upper Cusack for the Senior decider between Meath and Kerry. The Kingdom’s march to this […]
The long, long weekend is nearing its end and we’re coming to terms with our second defeat on the spin in this year’s National League campaign. Oh well, here’s what’s online about last night’s hugely annoying loss to Tyrone. Locals: Connaught Telegraph. Nationals: Irish Times, Irish Examiner, Irish Independent, Irish Mirror (live blog). Others: GAA, RTÉ, BBC, Sky Sports. Photos: […]
Mayo battled hard against Meath in this afternoon’s LGFA NFL semi-final at St Tiernach’s Park in Clones but ultimately they were undone by the Royals’ second half surge. A very strong third quarter from the All-Ireland champions saw them wipe out a three-point half-time deficit, hitting 2-5 without reply to seize control of the game and they won by six […]
We’ve named our team for Saturday’s LGFA NFL Division One semi-final against All-Ireland champions Meath at St Tiernach’s Park in Clones (throw-in 3pm).

Right, time to box away the cold and the wet and the wind and the loss to Kerry last weekend and shift the focus instead to what’s on this coming weekend. There’s a raft of matches involving the county on then, including an All-Ireland final. Chronological order makes most sense in listing these games so let’s start with Saturday. First […]
Fixture details for the LGFA NFL Division One semi-finals were confirmed earlier on today. The two semi-final ties will be played as a double-header at St Tiernach’s Park in Clones on Saturday, 19th March. The Donegal/Dublin game throws in at 1pm that afternoon, with the Mayo match against Meath getting underway at 3pm. Both semi-finals will be shown live on […]
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 […]
When Breaffy’s Matthew Ruane burst through to the first fifteen at county level in the League-winning spring campaign of 2019, it was clear that this was a player of real promise. Injuries haven’t been that kind to him since but so far this year he’s been in flying form, no more so than in yesterday’s match against Meath. Mattie was […]
With most of the action involving us over the previous two weeks taking place on the Saturday, it’s made sense to do this post on the Sunday but the weekend just gone saw matches involving us on both days with the men’s match taking place yesterday. That means shifting this one to today so as a result it’s welcome to […]
The sun shone brightly at MacHale Park this afternoon on a perfect summer’s day for football. One problem though – neither side had anything tangible to play for and the contest we got to see reflected that obvious fact. We won comfortably to top the group with three wins from three games. Our reward is a Division Two semi-final against […]
