Mayo 0-14 Monaghan 2-14: McManus engineers another great Farney escape

Well, that’s our unbeaten run gone. The supporting cast put in an understandably disjointed display this afternoon against a hugely motivated Monaghan team, for whom the wily Conor McManus up front ran the show. With Armagh losing at Tyrone, the visitors sensed another great escape in the offing and they finished strongly to claim a deserved six-points win and, with […]

Live podcast recording on Friday night

Ahead of the start of this year’s Connacht Championship – and just before the National League final – we’re doing a live Mayo Football Podcast recording next Friday evening (31st March). The venue for this is Solan’s bar in Ballaghaderreen where Mike, Rob and I will be joined by a number of special guests from both sides of the Mayo/Roscommon […]

Aidan O’Shea is our MOTM from yesterday’s game

The votes are in and counted on the MOTM poll from yesterday’s hugely satisfying win over Donegal up in Ballybofey. This one had an obvious winner and it’s no surprise that you’ve voted Aidan O’Shea as our MOTM from the game. He was also selected for the honour on TG4 as well as being included in the GAA’s Team of […]

Monday match reports

It’s a dreary, misty Monday morning in the west, more like November than the day on which the Spring Equinox falls. Despite this, there’s an undeniable spring in our collective step this morning. We’re still unbeaten, we’re in the Division One decider and we’re less than three weeks out from a Connacht SFC meeting with Roscommon, on Easter Sunday of […]

Donegal 0-9 Mayo 1-17: demolition job seals our place in the final

It’s been a long wait for us to record our first ever victory over Donegal on their home patch. That wait is now over following today’s demolition job over the O’Donnell County at MacCumhaill Park in Ballybofey, a venue where they’re notoriously difficult to beat but where we cantered to an eleven-point win today. While a first ever win for […]

The weekend’s matches

Right, it’s approaching midweek so time to think about the matches involving the county that are on this coming weekend. There are four such matches, two on Saturday and the other two on Sunday. In camogie, we’ve a Camogie League Division 3A match against Kildare. That’s a home game, which has been fixed for Adrian Freeman Park in Tooreen where […]

Monday match reports

After another win for us yesterday – our third in a row in this year’s National League campaign – we’re sitting pretty at the top of the Division One table. That means more positive match coverage to wade through, which is never a bad way to start the week. Let’s start this particular week, though, with a quick look at […]

Game day – drive on

All roads lead to Dr Hyde Park for this afternoon’s top-of-the-table National League Division One meeting between ourselves and Roscommon. The game throws in at 2.45pm, Kildare’s Brendan Cawley is the ref and it’s being shown live on TG4. Although neither of us can yet be mathematically sure that we’ll even be playing Division One football again next year, both […]
