It’s hard to imagine why any Mayo football fan wouldn’t enjoy the Mayo News Football Podcast. No doubt some curmudgeons could come up with the odd reason but they would very much be the exceptions, not the rule. The ever growing listenership figures for the Podcast bear that out. From its start back in 2009, the Podcast has gone from […]
The weekend just gone saw the first break in the tightly compressed schedule of National League games. Just because Mayo’s footballers weren’t in action, however, this didn’t mean a downing of tools on the Mayo News podcast as well. In this episode of the podcast, we take stock of Mayo’s opening three matches in this year’s Division One campaign and […]
It was contrasting fortunes for the two Mayo teams who were in action in the stormy weather this afternoon. The women’s encouraging start to this year’s LGFA NFL Division One campaign was bolstered by a gritty win over Waterford but the hurlers fell to a narrow NHL defeat to Wicklow, a loss that places their status in Division 2A in […]
Well, Storm Dennis has landed and it’s fairly making its presence felt. Sporting fixtures today and tomorrow are being hit hard and it was announced earlier on that the venue for tomorrow’s NHL Division 2A clash with Wicklow has been has now been changed to the Connacht Centre of Excellence in Bekan. Throw-in remains 1pm tomorrow. There’s no word yet […]
Another weekend, another storm roaring in off the Atlantic. Will Storm Dennis prove as disruptive to fixtures over the next two days as Ciara was last weekend? I guess we’ll find out soon enough. This weekend’s a rest one for the lads in the National League and so, from a Mayo perspective, the matches of interest involve the women’s footballers […]
This article first appeared in this week’s edition of the Mayo News as the ‘On the Road’ piece in the sports supplement. Talk of change was in the air all day on Sunday, blown along by a gale force wind that roared in from the west. Storm Ciara’s high winds made Mayo’s League clash with Meath a game of two […]
This was always going to be an easy one to sort. As I said in our post-match chat on the podcast, there was only ever going to be one winner in the Man of the Match poll on the Meath game yesterday. That’s the way it panned out and that winner is Kevin McLoughlin. The Knockmore man’s late salvo of […]
The wild weather may have meant that the quality of football at Páirc Tailteann yesterday wasn’t hectic but the result we came away with was, from our perspective, pretty satisfying. It’s worth, then, to have a look back at the coverage of our nail-biting one-point victory over Meath. Here’s what’s online about the game, as well as the U20 match […]
The high winds whipped up by Storm Ciara blew hard at Pairc Tailteann in Navan on Sunday. Out on the pitch, Mayo had to withstand a second half storm brewed up by Meath but Kevin McLoughlin was on hand to quell the tempest as the visitors emerged with a precious one-point win. In this episode of the Mayo News football […]
The Connaught Telegraph has reported today (here) that the injury Colm Boyle suffered in the Dublin game last weekend is a serious one. It’s virtually certain that it’s sufficiently grim to ensure that the Davitts man will not be fit to play for the county again this year. That report above and this one in The 42 says that the […]
