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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Two bit of news, with day-related hooks upon which to hang them. First is the unveiling today of the special commemorative jersey the senior team will wear in our Connacht Championship preliminary round fixture against New York over in Gaelic Park on Sunday, 5th May. The game in the Big Apple takes place the day after this year’s Mayo Day […]

That was more than a little frustrating. With fifteen minutes left on the clock, we’d reduced the deficit to just a single point and all the game’s momentum in our favour, aided by the strong wind at our backs, all we needed to do was drive on and win it. Instead, we lost our way entirely and Galway righted themselves […]
Another Saturday evening of football beckons, another double-header of League Division One matches featuring the ladies and the lads. Galway provide the opposition in both matches at MacHale Park, with the LGFA one throwing in at 5.15pm while the lads get going at 7.15pm. After last weekend’s loss to Dublin, tonight’s clash with the Tribesmen is an important one for […]

Mayo were back at Croke Park on Saturday night for the first time since the 2017 All-Ireland final but it proved to be an unhappy return. James Horan’s side came into this meeting with Dublin with an unbeaten record in this year’s National League but they left Croke Park having suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of the four-in-a-row […]
Right, I may as well get this one over with as quickly and painlessly as possible. Here’s a rundown of the coverage on last night’s NFL defeat to Dublin at Croke Park, along with the available reports on the much more competitive LGFA encounter between the two counties at the same venue yesterday evening. Locals: Mayo Advertiser, Connaught Telegraph. Nationals: […]
