We’ve named our team for tomorrow evening’s all-or-nothing, do-or-die, shuddering knockout Championship clash with Galway. This Round 4 qualifier tie throws in at the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick at 7pm tomorrow evening and here’s the starting fifteen we’ve named for it: Mayo (All-Ireland SFC Qualifier Round 4 v Galway, 6/7/2019): David Clarke (Ballina Stephenites); Chris Barrett (Belmullet), Brendan Harrison (Aghamore), […]
We named our team a bit earlier on for this evening’s Connacht Minor final against Galway, a match that throws in at Tuam Stadium at 7.30pm. The team we’ve named is unchanged from that which started in last week’s semi-final against Sligo. Here it is: Mayo (Connacht MFC final v Galway, 5/7/2019): Luke Jennings (Ballinrobe); Alfie Morrison (Louisburgh), Oisín Tunney […]
I was in the good seats at the back of the stand in MacHale Park last Saturday night. I had agreed to meet Willie Joe of this parish, Rob Murphy and the rest of the podcast crew to see how the magic happens on match day! I gained quite the insight into the work involved in bringing a podcast together […]
As soon as Monday morning’s Round 4 qualifier draw paired Mayo against their age-old rivals Galway the countdown began to what promises to be a shuddering showdown encounter. The Gaelic Grounds in Limerick is the novel venue for Saturday evening’s meeting and there’s novelty too in the fact that, for the first time in twenty years, this championship clash between the two counties is […]
Mayo began the defence of their Connacht U20 title in fine style at a sun-washed MacHale Park this evening. Sligo proved no match for the free-scoring Mayo youngsters who cantered to a 19-point win, coming out on top on a scoreline of 1-25 to 1-6. A succession of unanswered points in the first half laid the foundations for this win, […]
I’ve tried to like Galway GAA. Honestly. Some of my best friends support the Tribesmen, Herself is from the ‘real home’ of Galway football and one of the first unique things she told me about herself was that Ja Fallon used to be her postman. I even find myself in weird situations where personal reasons (i.e. shouting on Galway or […]
It’s all a bit mad around here at the minute, isn’t it? It’s taken me a little by surprise, truth be told, as work is busy enough right now, so I’ve been caught on the hop by the surge in traffic to the site since the weekend. This has seen the daily hit count reach record levels on Sunday – […]
So we’ve drawn Galway in Round 4. There’s more than a little bit of poetic justice in this. Had we gone the direct route we’d still have had to beat Galway in the Connacht final to make the Super Eights. This is now the task that faces us on Saturday evening at the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick (throw-in 7pm), only […]
The GAA have this afternoon confirmed the dates and times for next weekend’s Round 4 qualifier ties – details here. As has been well trailed in advance our match against Galway has been fixed for the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick on Saturday evening with a 7pm throw-in. The game will be preceded by the Connacht LGFA final replay between 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 […]
