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 […]
This coming weekend sees the fifth round of games in this year’s National League, with our Division One Round 5 fixture a top-of-the-table encounter with neighbours Roscommon. We’re currently tied at the division’s summit on six League points but we head to Dr Hyde Park ahead of them in the table by virtue of our better points difference. The match […]
It’s Tuesday night and so the time is ticking down rapidly to Saturday evening in Castlebar and the arrival of Tyrone. Our NFL Division One Round 4 match against them throws in at MacHale Park that evening at 7pm, Noel Mooney of Cavan will ref it and it’s being shown live on TG4. With three rounds of matches already played […]
This coming weekend sees the third round of matches in this year’s National Football League. After a draw at home against Galway followed by a draw away to Armagh, Kevin McStay’s team are back on home turf this coming weekend. Our opponents this weekend, under the Saturday night lights at MacHale Park, are All-Ireland champions Kerry. The game is scheduled […]
It’s almost beyond our collective memory – well, not quite, but it has been a while – since we last played in an FBD League final but this Friday evening at the Connacht GAA Centre of Excellence Air Dome we take on Roscommon in this year’s provincial pre-season decider. Throw-in at the Dome is 7.30pm on Friday. Tickets – a […]
While the start of a new year is always the trigger for looking forward, one of my early January jobs here on the blog is to take a quick look back on the year just gone in terms of web traffic generated by the site. Here’s the traffic review for 2022. As the two graphs below illustrate so starkly, the […]
This is a job I should have done a while back but, for a number of reasons, it remained stubbornly on the to-do list. With the New Year all but here, though, it’s one I can’t put off any longer. Which means I’ve now, at last, shifted the 2022 results page into the blog’s results archive (here) where it becomes […]
As everyone surely knows by now, our Round 1 qualifier clash with Monaghan this day week will be the first ever meeting between our two counties in the Championship. We only met them competitively for the first time as recently as 1981 and they’re a team we’ve played just twenty times in competitive fixtures, the bulk of those in recent […]
Okay, we’ve had our weekend off and now the focus is firmly fixed on Tralee this coming Saturday night. There, at Austin Stack Park, Kerry host Mayo in a top of the table National League Division One match, which throws in at 7.30pm. The match will be broadcast live on RTÉ2 and Kildare’s Brendan Cawley is the ref for it. […]
We’re six hours away now from the end of 2021, another weird year dominated by Covid which, I think it’s fair to say, most of us will be glad to see the back of. That’s before factoring in any thoughts about the All-Ireland final, the stinging pain from which stubbornly refuses to dull with the passage of time. Yes, 2021 […]
