Meat Loaf reckoned that two out of three should never be considered a bad return. So it was this weekend with Mayo teams involved in Connacht club finals, as Kilmaine and Tooreen claimed provincial titles while The Neale came up short in their Connacht decider. Kilmaine’s match – the Connacht Junior club final against Sligo’s St Michael’s – was the […]
More club dates for your diaries, this time involving matches with some silverware on offer. This coming Saturday at MacHale Park, the Connacht Intermediate and Junior football finals are being contested. The county has skin in both games, with Kilmaine bidding for provincial glory in the JFC decider while neighbours The Neale have their sights set on the Connacht IFC […]
The issue that has convulsed Mayo GAA in recent weeks continues to rumble on. There’s plenty about it in the Mayo News today (paper and digitals variants) and elsewhere too. There was much talk about it here on the blog for a while as well, until I was forced to call a halt to the discussion. I’ve had comments posted […]
It was three wins out of four for teams from the county who were involved in club Championship action over the weekend. The Neale and Kilmaine both had big wins yesterday, while MacHale Rovers qualified for the LGFA Junior final today. Ballintubber lost out to Corofin this afternoon but they went down fighting. Let’s start, for a change, with the […]

Fresh from their close shave against Tuam Stars, defending All-Ireland champions Corofin […]

If you’re planning to renew your season ticket once again, note that the deadline for doing so is 31st December. Prices for 2020 are unchanged from this year, with the standard season […]
Here’s a quick review of the provincial club Championship action that was on this weekend. The short version – three matches, three wins for teams from the county. Let’s start with the hurling. Tooreen were in Connacht IHC action this afternoon at Athleague where they met London’s Robert Emmet’s to battle it out for a place in the provincial final. […]
The 2019 All-Star football team has just been unveiled. As we’d expected and hoped, Paddy Durcan has been named at right half-back on the team. It’s his first All-Star award. Paddy is our sole All-Star winner this year but it was great to see the Mitchels man claim the award. He had an outstanding summer in the Green and Red, […]
This is just a quick reminder for those who fancy seeing a bit of football action this weekend. If you do, there are a few Connacht club games on that might be of interest. Starting tomorrow, Kilmaine take on Glenamaddy in the Connacht JFC quarter-final, with that game throwing in at Tuam Stadium at 2pm. Kilmaine didn’t, of course, win […]

The Minor one can be dealt with swiftly, as it’s being […]
