In my haste to get the match reports post done earlier on, with the knowledge that Rob had the podcast coming rapidly down the tracks in its wake, I neglected to make any reference to the coverage of the Connacht LGFA final, which was played as the curtain-raise at the Gaelic Grounds yesterday. In the same vein, I also have […]
It appears the tide has, indeed, turned. Mayo being Mayo, we had to have more drama at the end than we really needed to but, over the course of the 78 or so minutes that were played, we bossed the game for large spells and were full value for the three-point win with which we eventually came away from the […]
By the sounds of it, this afternoon’s Connacht LGFA decider at MacHale Park was a real belter. Champions Galway led by four at the break but great rally by the home team saw them lead before Galway hit back to force a draw. The replay will take place on 7th July, with the finer details to be confirmed later. Galway […]
While most of the focus is on the lads this weekend, it’s also big match time for the ladies. They’re in action in the LGFA Connacht final on Sunday, with that decider against Galway throwing in at MacHale Park at 4pm. The Mayo team for Sunday’s decider was named this morning. Full details are here: ? #TeamAnnouncement ? – Our […]
All the fun and games going on in New York over the last few days acted to overshadow somewhat the dispiriting news from Australia, where ex-Mayo star Cora Staunton suffered a serious leg injury on Saturday. Cora recently completed her second season in the AFLW with Greater Western Sydney Giants. Following this, she’d already agreed terms with the Giants to […]
This afternoon saw the final round of League action this year for the Mayo ladies and a day of drama it proved to be. Their opponents, Monaghan, were already condemned to relegation ahead of throw-in but it took two injury-time goals from Mayo to secure a share of the spoils, on a 2-15 apiece scoreline. The match, the venue for […]
It’s the morning after a significant day for us in this year’s League campaign, with yesterday’s Round 7 success over Monaghan sending us into the Division One decider against Kerry at Croke Park next Sunday. Here’s the coverage, from the usual sources, that’s online relating to yesterday’s match at MacHale Park. Locals: Mayo Advertiser, Connaught Telegraph, Northern Sound. Nationals: Irish […]
We’re in the League final. For long stretches today it didn’t look like this was going to happen, not because of any real failings on our part but instead due to the fact that Galway appeared to have the beating of Tyrone up in Omagh. But then the narrative changed in Healy Park, while at the same time we began […]
Just a quick reminder that Sunday features two League Division One clashes at MacHale Park. Ahead of the lads’ Round 7 meeting with Monaghan, which throws in at 2pm, the ladies take on Cork in a Round 6 meeting. That one gets going at midday. It was also announced yesterday that the members of the ladies team will take part […]
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 […]
