Mayo’s inter-county season isn’t over yet and this coming weekend there are big matches involving the county in both women’s football and camogie.

Sunday match reports

Willie Joe

The debate here on the blog over the past 24 hours has, somewhat oddly, been focused on a match the county wasn’t involved in at all yesterday, with the one we did play generating very little interest in comparison. Time to redress that balance, then, by looking at the coverage of Mayo’s dramatic win over Galway in yesterday’s LGFA All-Ireland […]

Ladies snatch dramatic win at the death

Willie Joe

The Mayo ladies are once again through to the All-Ireland semi-final. They triumphed by the minimum margin in dramatic fashion over Galway in today’s LGFA All-Ireland quarter-final, with Shauna Howley fisting over the winning score into the wind at Pearse Stadium just seconds before the final hooter sounded, as Mayo snatched the win by 0-10 to 1-6. It was no […]

The two […]

LGFA All-Ireland quarter-final fixed for Saturday week

Willie Joe

The men’s Championship run may be over for the year but for the women it’s all still to play for, as the LGFA Championship reaches the knockout stage. Finishing second in their group meant that Michael Moyles’ team would face an away quarter-final and on Sunday they were drawn to face Galway. The teams have, of course, already met this […]
