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.

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 […]
For the third Saturday in a row we’re back up on the Championship tightrope. It’s another chance to progress in this campaign – this time to the Super 8s – but if things don’t go well it could be the night on which it all ends for us. The ball is set to be thrown in at the Gaelic Grounds […]
Tonight’s Connacht MFC between Mayo and Galway was the first of four separate Championship meetings between the counties in a five-day span. If any of the other matches are anything as good as this rip-roaring encounter at Tuam Stadium then we’re all in for a treat. It was a contest that the Mayo youngsters won by the minimum margin, on […]

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, […]
