The GAA are still resolutely refusing to show their hand on when and where the Round 3 fixtures in the All-Ireland SFC group stage will be played but the dates for our two LGFA All-Ireland SFC group stage matches were confirmed yesterday and so too today were details of our Minor All-Ireland quarter-final against Monaghan. In the LGFA Championship we’re […]
Over the past week, we released four new shows on the Mayo Football Podcast and in this episode Rob Murphy and I provide a sample of this content, almost all of which was made available first to our club members on Patreon. Voices you’ll hear on this show include Colm Boyle, Marc Ó Sé, Edwin McGreal and Billy Joe Padden as they looked back on […]
Two provincial finals played in Ulster today confirmed Mayo’s next opponents in both the LGFA Senior football Championship and the Minor football Championship. The LGFA Ulster Championship was won today by Donegal, who beat Armagh in the final at Owenbeg by 1-10 to 0-9. The result was a bit of a surprise and it means that Armagh will be in […]
Mayo this evening claimed back-to-back Connacht Minor titles when a storming second half in Tuam saw them defeat Galway by six points. Galway had led by a point at the break but the Mayo lads won by 2-13 to 1-10 at the end of what was a highly entertaining U17 contest. The match got underway in bright evening sunshine, so […]
We’ve named our match-day panel for this evening’s Connacht MFC final against Galway at Tuam Stadium (throw-in 7pm).

The warm glow of victory in Killarney hasn’t yet subsided properly – although Jim McGuinness’s asinine nonsense in the Irish Times this morning about our “lack of a marquee forward” injected a stab of grumpiness in my mood today – but already the focus is shifting towards this coming weekend and more Mayo matches. It’s a weekend off for the […]
It’s been another busy week on the Mayo Football Podcast, where club members have again had access to loads of new audio content, both leading up to and after the match against Kerry in Killarney on Saturday, while we also kept tabs on the Minors’ progress on Friday evening. Voices you’ll hear on this episode, in which we showcase some […]
I’m still in the Kingdom with a drive back to the capital to do soon after what has been a short but extremely satisfactory stay here. I think satisfaction, rather than any outpouring of euphoria, is the dominant emotion for Mayo supporters this morning after what was a fine day’s work by the lads at Fitzgerald Stadium yesterday. It was […]
Here, courtesy of TG4 via YouTube, is the live stream of this evening’s Connacht MFC semi-final between Mayo and Roscommon. The match throws in this evening at Hastings Insurance MacHale Park at 7pm. I’ll have a match report here on the blog afterwards and we’ll have a Mayo Football Podcast Final Whistle show up on Patreon later on as well. […]
The week just gone was a hectic one for us on the Mayo Football Podcast, with four separate shows going online for our club members on Patreon during the week, featuring interviews with three separate Mayo managers. In this pod, Rob and I introduce a few segments from these four shows. Last Monday, Mike caught up with Mayo LGFA manager […]
