Tyrone have named their team to play us on Sunday. Heaven’s above, they’ve even named their subs as well. Here’s the full list they’ve named: Tyrone (NFL Division One v Mayo, 26/3/2017): Niall Morgan (Éadan na dTorc); Pádraig Hampsey (Oileán a’Ghuail), Ronan McNamee (Achadh Uí Aráin), Cathal McCarron (An Droim Mór); Rory Brennan (Trí Leac), Justin McMahon (An Omaigh), Tiernan McCann (Coill an Chlochair); Colm Cavanagh (An Mhaigh), Declan […]
I’ve just done a quick scan of all the matches involving the county this coming weekend and it’s a bit of a list. It’s worth, then, providing an overview of what’s on so you can check the diary and see which ones you might be able to make. First up is the double-header at Tuam Stadium on Saturday. The curtain-raiser there […]
Okay, time to turn the focus away from the introspection and onto this coming weekend’s Round 5 League meeting with Cavan. I’ll do a proper piece, time permitting, on this one tomorrow but the local papers have some info on personnel availability which is worth sharing now. Both the Western People yesterday (paper and digital variants) and today’s Mayo News […]
Almost a week on from our Croke Park collapse and I guess it’s time to draw a line under that one and start to look ahead to, well, what’s ahead of us. The Cavan match on Sunday week, back on home soil at MacHale Park (throw-in 2pm), is obviously what’s going to be the main focus over the coming days. […]
Photo: @MayoGAA In the tiny bit of downtime between the Roscommon game last weekend and ahead of getting revved up in the lead-in to the Dubs match on Saturday night, I’ve been doing a bit of research to satisfy my curiosity on a point of interest. Having done so, I can now share it with the wider world. What I […]
Photo: @MayoGAA So the first piece of silverware for the county in 2017 is in the bag. It came in the form of the Mary McPartland Perpetual Cup, which was the trophy on offer to the winners of today’s U21 North West Cup final played at Markievicz Park. The photo above shows Mayo captain James Lyons being presented with the […]
Image: @Mayo_LGFA The seniors have been in the frame over the last few weekends but, having not made it to the FBD final, this one is a gap one ahead of the start of the League season next weekend. Nature abhors a vacuum, so they say, and so into that void come the county’s U21s and ladies footballers, as well […]
The weekend is upon us once again and more on-field activity awaits. The U21s play tomorrow and then the seniors take the field on Sunday. The U21s have their second match in the North-West Cup. This one is against Donegal, which throws in at James Stephens Park in Ballina tomorrow at 2.30pm. With both of the teams involved tomorrow having […]
The U21s’ belated start to this year’s North-West Cup ended in defeat this evening at the Sligo GAA Centre of Excellence. Under the lights at Scarden it was the home team that came out on top, winning by 2-5 to 0-10. Most of the damage seems to have been done in the first half when the young Magpies bagged two […]
It’s Thursday already and, with the weekend drawing near, so too is the action slated for Saturday and Sunday. Mind you, the snow’s apparently on the way too, though the worst of the cold blast appears to be due to hit later on today and tomorrow so maybe playing conditions will be okay for the weekend. There’s a definite Yeatsian flavour […]
