This is a big weekend for Sligo’s footballers but, after this evening’s enthralling U20 All-Ireland semi-final win for the county over Kerry, it’s already guaranteed to be a great one. Tomorrow’s Nestor Cup decider is, of course, important for the Yeats County but a first-ever Championship win over Kerry, guaranteeing Sligo only their second ever appearance in an All-Ireland final, […]

Having tasted provincial success at U20 level for the very first time last year, Sligo this evening backed this up by retaining their Connacht U20 crown. They beat Galway in the Connacht final played at Tuam Stadium this evening by 0-14 to 0-13, scoring the final three points of the game, with the winning score fisted over by Dylan Walsh […]
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 […]

This match was meant to be […]

The next Mayo match on the horizon is tomorrow evening’s Connacht U20 Championship semi-final against defending champions Sligo – more on that one here – but beyond that we’ve four other matches involving the county taking place this coming weekend.

The main focus of attention so far this year has been the county’s Senior team but Sunday’s Connacht SFC defeat to Roscommon and the six-week break that now kicks in ahead of the start of the new All-Ireland Group Stage mean that things are a bit becalmed on that front for now. There’s still plenty of football to occupy us, […]
Ahead of the start of their respective Championship campaigns, details of the county’s U17 and U20 panels have been published by Mayo GAA. The U20s are in action first – they take on defending provincial champions Sligo in the Connacht semi-final this night week – and here’s their 2023 playing panel: More details on the U20 set-up for this year […]
