When we last won the National League, back in 2019, our victory that day was due in no small part to a heroic display by goalkeeper Rob Hennelly. Yesterday at Croke Park our current netminder Colm Reape put in an even more outstanding performance, with his five goal-stopping saves being in large part the difference between defeat and victory for […]
You know that scene at the end of the first Indiana Jones film where they crate up whatever it is they’re crating up and deposit it somewhere in the midst of loads of other crates in an enormous military hanger, never to be seen again? That’s what we have to do now with everything related to yesterday’s National League final […]
We’re the National League champions once again. Our three-point win over Galway at Croke Park this afternoon saw us claim NFL honours for the second time in five seasons and for the thirteenth time in all. It was a deserved win too in what was in large part a rather muted contest, in which both sides tended to pull their […]
We’ve already played Galway twice this year. First it was the pre-season FBD kickabout in the Dome in mid-January, followed by the more serious National League Round 1 meeting at Hastings Insurance MacHale Park at the end of that month. On Sunday, at Croke Park we lock horns with them once again as we compete for the National League’s Division […]
Only five of the players who lined out for us against Monaghan yesterday also did so in the previous match up in Donegal. One of this quintet – Sam Callinan – has been putting in solid performances ever since he first appeared in this League campaign, when he came on as a sub against Tyrone. Yesterday was his best performance […]
Mondays just aren’t the same when the match coverage concerns a defeat rather than a victory. But, never mind, summer time is back and we’re off to Croke Park for the League final on Sunday. Things could be a lot worse. Right, let’s dive into the online coverage of yesterday’s defeat to Monaghan as well as the LGFA win over […]
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 […]
Okay, the Donegal game is now boxed away and so it’s onto our Round 7 match against Monaghan next Sunday. This one is back on home turf with throw-in at Hastings Insurance MacHale Park set for the earlier time of 1.45pm that afternoon, which will seem even earlier as the clocks will have gone forward the night before. Meath’s David […]
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 […]
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 […]
