Mayo went into today’s ladies’ All-Ireland senior football semi-final against Galway as outsiders but in a sun-washed Croke Park they put in a real battling display, just losing out at the finish by a single point on a scoreline of 2-10 to 2-9. It was rough justice to come up short by the minimum margin in a game where fortunes […]
The lads are all done for the year but not so the Mayo ladies. Their 2019 Championship run is still going strong and on Sunday they head to Croke Park for an All-Ireland semi-final showdown against Galway. This is the first year that the LGFA All-Ireland semi-finals have been held at HQ. Both penultimate round ties will be played at […]

This coming weekend, at last, allows everyone to draw breath after five hectic weekends of Championship action. But that’s just the Senior team. Two other Mayo teams are in action this Saturday and, for both of them, these are crunch games. The ladies have an All-Ireland Championship round-robin clash with Donegal – aside from anything else, this is a timely […]
Mike Solan’s Mayo U20s came to Tuam Stadium this evening seeking to land the county’s second Connacht title in a row at this level. While Galway went into tonight’s provincial decider as favourites, there were high hopes that our lads might upset those odds and land us another win over the neighbours. Sadly, however, it wasn’t to be. Galway took […]

Right, it’s time to call time on the Man of the Match poll from yesterday evening’s Round 4 qualifier match against Galway at the Gaelic Grounds. It was another close result this week, with James Carr eventually edging out Darren Coen – who was named as MOTM by Billy Joe Padden on Sky Sports – for the prize. James ended […]
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 […]
The Mayo/Galway rivalry is one in which all the momentum has been in Galway’s favour in recent years but on Saturday night at the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick the tide at last began to turn. Mayo’s win over the neighbours dumps Galway out of the championship and sends James Horan’s team through to the Super 8s. The Mayo News football […]
It’s Sunday, the sun’s shining, we’ve beaten Galway and we’re in the Super 8s. That makes it a Super Sunday in my book. There’s plenty of coverage about last night’s hugely satisfying and long overdue win over the neighbours. Let’s take a dive into it. Locals: Mayo Advertiser, Connaught Telegraph.
