Photo: MichaelMaye.com I’m still mopping up here after the conclusion of this year’s National Football League, this time to sort a few stats about who played for us in the campaign, who scored what and that kind of thing. Similar pieces I’ve done on this in previous years are here – 2016, 2017. Let’s start with details on who started, […]
Image: @MayoGAA Saturday night is fast approaching and, with it, yet another joust for us with Dublin. Throw-in for the match in MacHale Park is 7pm that evening and the ref is Roscommon’s Paddy Neilan. The ladies’ Division One League match is on beforehand, that one throws in at 5pm. I usually find this previewing-the-opposition post good for refreshing my […]
Image: @MayoGAA It’s definitely time to close the book on last Saturday night’s defeat to Kerry and look ahead instead to our next match in this year’s League campaign. In Round 3 this coming Sunday we face newly-promoted Galway at Pearse Stadium, where throw-in is 2pm and where the LGFA match between the same two counties acts as the curtain-raiser […]
Image: @MayoGAA It’s Thursday already and so the time is running out rapidly ahead of our second match in this year’s National Football League Division One campaign. Kerry are coming to town and Castlebar is sure to be rocking when they do. Throw-in at MacHale Park is 7pm on Saturday evening and Tipperary’s Derek O’Mahoney is the ref for the […]
Image: @MayoGAA It’s definitely time to start thinking seriously about our first opponents in this year’s National Football League Division One campaign. It’s Monaghan we’re up against first and we play them at St Tiernach’s Park in Clones on Sunday where throw-in is set for 2pm. Meath’s David Gough is the man with the whistle for this one. We played […]
Photo: RTÉ Okay, I think it’s time to pull the curtains down on this one. The result was never really in any doubt once voting got going and so I’m happy to confirm that, by popular acclaim, the Mayo GAA Blog Player of the Year for 2017 is Andy Moran. Andy secured 61% of all votes cast, followed by Colm […]
Every year once the action concludes another year of Mayo GAA results gets added to the archive here on the site. The results for 2017 have now been placed alongside the 115 years already there, the matches played this year now forming part of the rich tapestry that is the story of inter-county football in Mayo. 2017 saw twenty matches […]
Photo: Joe.ie Here’s a little All-Ireland final conceit: I was just thinking earlier on about all the games we’ve played this year and how many of them I managed to get to. I decided to do a quick tot of these to see what kind of distance this entailed. I’m far from the county’s best supporter. I missed two League […]
Photo: MichaelMaye.com It was announced by Elvery’s this evening that, as expected, the lads will sport the current away strip in Sunday’s All-Ireland semi-final against Kerry at Croke Park (throw-in 3.30pm). It’s an attire that was unveiled in the League game against the same opposition down in Tralee in February this year. That match remains the only occasion in which […]
Photo: Irish Times No Monday morning theatrics were required this time to learn our next opponents in what, by any measure, has become a rather amazing championship campaign for us. No sooner than had our collective heart rates begun to stabilise on Saturday evening but it was already apparent that Galway were in the process of whipping Donegal. That outcome […]
