With next Friday’s all-or-nothing Connacht MFC semi-final against Roscommon facing Mayo, the opportunity was understandably taken in tonight’s Round 5 match against Sligo to ring the changes in terms of team selection. As a result we took the pitch with a much-changed team, showing fourteen changes from last weekend, but, despite this, the two teams served up an entertaining contest, […]
We’re still a bit away from the big match down in Killarney but in the meantime there are a few games of interest involving county teams on this coming weekend. Taking them in the order in which they’ll be played, the first match is the Connacht MFC Round 5 meeting with Sligo. This game has been fixed for Hastings Insurance […]
There were two matches involving the county over the weekend just gone and there’s a bit of online coverage about both of them. Nothing for it, then, but to give them the Monday match reports treatment. The county’s women footballers reclaimed the Connacht SFC title yesterday, beating defending champions Galway by seven points at Hastings Insurance MacHale Park. Here are […]
It was a gloriously sunny evening at Páirc Seán MacDiarmada in Carrick-on-Shannon, perfect conditions for this Connacht MFC Round 4 meeting of Mayo and Leitrim. After a well-contested match our lads prevailed over a lively Leitrim outfit on a scoreline of 1-17 to 1-13, a win that guarantees us a semi-final slot where we’ll meet up again with Roscommon. Leitrim […]
It’s Wednesday night already, with another weekend barrelling in our direction. While it’s still a few weeks before the Senior team are back in action, there are a few games on this coming weekend involving Mayo teams that are worth shining a light on. Taking them in the order they’re set to be played, the first one occurs on Friday […]
On a sunwashed late spring evening at Hastings Insurance MacHale Park, the U17s of Mayo and Galway served up a cracking contest in this year’s Connacht MFC. Both sides enjoyed periods of dominance in tonight’s game and coming down the home stretch a draw looked perhaps the likeliest outcome. In the end, however, Galway snatched victory with an injury time […]
With another weekend starting to appear over the horizon, it’s time to set out details of the matches involving the county that are taking place. This coming weekend there are two such games, involving the Minors and the hurlers. The Minor game is a tasty one. The lads are taking on Galway in Round 3 of the Connacht MFC, having […]
In this weekly episode of the Mayo Football Podcast, we showcase segments of the audio that our club members on Patreon will already have heard in full. Rob Murphy and I review this week’s audio excerpts, featuring the voices of Mayo Minor manager Seán Deane, who reflects on his team’s win over Roscommon last Friday evening, as well as podcast […]
Our Connacht SFC defeat to Roscommon, combined with the U20s’ Championship exit at the hands of Sligo and the Minors having a bye this Friday, all mean that it’s more than a bit becalmed on the football side of the house right now. Had we got the better of the Rossies, then we’d be gearing up for another meeting with […]
The county’s U17 and U20 hurlers were both in action today. It was a case of contrasting fortunes in their respective games with the U17s chiselling out a narrow enough win while the U20s were well beaten in their game. The U17s were up against Donegal in Round 2 of the Celtic Challenge, a match that took place at the […]
