Tooreen’s tremendous journey continues. This afternoon at Athleague – in some ways, it’s now the team’s spiritual home-from-home, so often they’ve played and won there in recent years – they won their third successive Connacht Intermediate hurling Championship title. They prevailed in this one by beating Ballinderreen of Galway by 0-21 to 0-19 in what was a cracking provincial title […]
For those of you who may be pining for some live football action this weekend, the U21 county club Championship quarter-finals might just fit the bill. The first match of the weekend has, in fact, happened already as this was played under the lights at Páirc Gerry McDonald in Castlebar tonight. That was in the A Championship and it ended […]
A late November’s day is a good one as any to do a bit of digital gardening and, in that spirit, I’ve now added our results for this year to the archive here on the blog. Including 2023 (here), the results archive, which is also fully searchable, at this stage runs to 122 years. The landing page for the results […]
The hurlers of Tooreen take centre-stage from a Mayo GAA perspective this weekend. The club, which back in January this year, contested an All-Ireland Intermediate club hurling Championship final where they lost out narrowly to Limerick’s Monaleen, are on the march once again and on Sunday they’re aiming to retain their Connacht IHC title. Athleague is the venue for Sunday’s […]

Penalties were central to the contrasting fortunes of Lahardane MacHales and Kilmeena today, who were both in action against Galway opposition in provincial club semi-finals. The afternoon ended in joy for Lahardane, who prevailed in a penalty shootout, while a missed penalty for Kilmeena in the dying seconds of their game was central to their defeat. Lahardane were up against […]
It was All-Star awards weekend for both the GAA and the LGFA and while we came away empty-handed in the former – understandably, seeing as we weren’t in the conversation for Sam in a serious way this year – the county has an LGFA All-Star award to celebrate, with Danielle Caldwell earning a place on the team at corner-back. It’s […]
Ballina Stephenites this afternoon crashed out of the Connacht club SFC, losing out to Galway champions Corofin. The match was played in windswept conditions, standard fare at Pearse Stadium, where Corofin handled the conditions far better, bagging fourteen scores from play to win by 0-16 to 0-12. The Stephenites were forced to field without the injured Padraig O’Hora and joint-captain […]
