The county’s hurlers have endured a torrid time in this year’s National Hurling League and their misery was capped this afternoon when they were beaten by Wicklow in the Division 2B relegation play-off. The Garden County won today’s match at O’Connor Park in Tullamore by 0-16 to 0-15 and so it’s us who drop down to Division 3A for next […]

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).

The match day panel for Mayo’s NHL Division 2B clash with Donegal at James Stephens Park on Sunday (throw-in 1pm) was named a bit earlier today.

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 […]
Just the two Mayo matches today, with a win for the women footballers, while the hurlers lost again. In the LGFA game, victory over Donegal was secured at the Connacht GAA Centre of Excellence largely on the back of a strong first half. Playing with the wind, we kept the visitors scoreless for 24 minutes of the opening half, in […]
We’ve named our team to play Sligo on Sunday in the NHL Division 2B and it’s unchanged from the side that started against Derry last time out. Here’s the team we’ve named: Mayo (NHL Division 2B v Sligo, 6/3/2022): Bobby Douglas (Tooreen); Gary Nolan (Tooreen), David Kenny (Tooreen), David Huane (Tooreen); Brian Hunt (Ballyhaunis), Keith Higgins (Ballyhaunis), Conor Murray (Castlebar […]
The lads aren’t in action this weekend but that doesn’t mean there aren’t Mayo teams to follow this Saturday and Sunday. There are – three of them to be precise. Let’s start with the women footballers. They’ve made a great start to their League campaign this spring and, with two wins from two outings, they’re already guaranteed of a place […]
Those who plan to provide vocal support to the county’s hurling team on Sunday need to be aware that the venue for the NHL Division 2B match against Derry that afternoon has been switched from Celtic Park to the Derry COE at Owenbeg. Throw-in for the game remains at 1pm and tickets for it are available to purchase here. Speaking […]
The county’s hurlers fell to defeat over at McGovern Park in Ruislip this afternoon. London were always to the fore in this NHL Division 2B clash and were worthy 4-11 to 1-10 victors. We got the first point of the day at McGovern Park but once London had responded with three points on the spin, they never really looked back. […]
