Image: @Mayo_LGFA The Mayo ladies this afternoon kept up their push for a League semi-final place when they beat Donegal by 5-14 to 4-12 in a Round 7 meeting at Swinford. The teams were tied at 3-7 apiece after a ding-dong opening half, and a fourth goal by the visitors early in the second half saw them lead briefly. Once […]
Our 2018 National Football League race is run but, before all of the focus shifts to the summer action, there’s still time for a bit of retrospective thinking about what was in every sense and up and down spring campaign for us. Thankfully, one that ended up rather than down. Last year, in response to the promptings of a number […]

Just one weekend of matches left to play in this year’s National Football League and the race for glory in the prediction mini-league is coming nicely to boiling point. The lead at the top has changed hands following last weekend’s action but there’s little or nothing to separate the top two as we head into the decisive weekend in this […]

This week’s edition of the Mayo News […]

Let’s have a look at some of the coverage from yesterday’s late, late show by the lads up in Ballybofey. Talking of match reports, yesterday was the second game in a row where I bashed out my […]
We’re not done yet. It looked for long periods this afternoon at McCumhaill Park in Ballybofey that our time in Division One was finally up but when we really needed to the lads put their hands in the fire and did what needed to be done. We got the draw and with it the precious League point that guaranteed, once […]
Not for the first time in recent years, today we head into the final round of the League with the threat of relegation hanging over our heads. Quite simply, we need a result of some sorts against Donegal in Ballybofey this afternoon. A win would be great, a draw would be just dandy but the bottom line is that the […]
