You could, with a fair bit of justification, say that this occurs after the final whistle sounds at every match the county team plays at MacHale Park but on Sunday there’s an official Meet and Greet with the team out on the pitch after the Monaghan game. This initiative was announced yesterday by Mayo GAA (here). It will, I’m sure, […]
It’s time, I guess, to bank those two valuable National League points claimed down in Tralee and switch the focus instead onto the Division One Round 7 game against Monaghan facing us this coming weekend. This one is a Sunday afternoon fixture, throwing in at MacHale Park at 2pm, where Tipperary’s Derek O’Mahoney will have the whistle. It’s hard to […]
It was confirmed this morning that Cora Staunton has decided that her days as a Mayo player are definitely over. Following the unrest in the camp last year, it was always a long shot as to whether or not she’d don the county colours again. Cora has now confirmed that, as she said herself, her “Mayo days are done.” Cora […]
And so onto the final bit of housekeeping after the round of matches played last weekend before the focus turns – as it will here tomorrow – to next weekend’s action. Yes, folks, it’s time for the latest update on where things now stand in the NFL prediction mini-league. At the top of the table long-standing leader Conor C has […]
Last night’s win over Kerry was in very much a team effort, with every player putting his shoulder to the wheel in a hardworking display that got its reward in the two-point win the lads came away with. We had several strong performers on the night, chief among them Aidan O’Shea. Lining out at midfield for the first time in […]
It’s been tough enough going to date for the Mayo ladies team in this year’s National Football League Division One but today they bagged their second win of the campaign. They beat Westmeath in this afternoon’s Division One fixture at St Loman’s GAA club in Mullingar, on a scoreline of 3-12 to 2-12. The ladies got the perfect start this […]
The wind blew hard and the rain came down in torrents at Austin Stack Park in Tralee last night but Mayo, taking the field in their distinctive new blue away strip, were equal to the conditions not to mention the challenge laid down by high-flying Kerry. James Horan’s men carved out a memorable two-point win over the home team, extending […]
Happy St Patrick’s Day all. This one is even happier as we luxuriate in the afterglow of last night’s super win over Kerry down in Tralee. Winning makes the job of ploughing through the match coverage a far more pleasant one as well. Here’s what’s online this morning about the game. Locals: Mayo Advertiser. Nationals: Sunday Independent, Irish Times, Irish […]
Going into tonight’s match against Kerry in Tralee, it was pretty obvious that we would have to have to put in a much improved display if we were going to have any hopes of getting a result. That’s exactly what we did, as the lads – attired in their snazzy new deep blue away jerseys – fought like demons from […]
After a fortnight’s break, National League action resumes for the lads tonight with a tough assignment down south. Unbeaten Kerry provide the opposition in this Round 6 fixture, with throw-in scheduled for 7pm at Austin Stack Park in Tralee. It’s difficult enough to mount a credible case in favour of our chances of putting a halt to Kerry’s gallop tonight. […]
