The Club Stars event last night was great fun, with the added advantage that I’m waking up here in Westport this morning with only only a short trot to complete to get to MacHale Park a bit later on. The ballroom in the Knockranny was full to capacity last night, with a succession of award winners honoured on the night. […]
While the main focus for most supporters this weekend will be the FBD semi-final against Galway at MacHale Park on Sunday afternoon (throw-in 2pm), that’s not the only action that’s on. Tomorrow there’s a choice between club and county, with matches of interest taking place in Ennis and Ballina. At Cusack Park in Ennis Kilmaine face Na Gaeil of Kerry […]
I’m playing a bit of catch-up here, I know, something I’m likely to be doing repeatedly concerning Mayo GAA news from here on but, for the record, it’s worth noting that the first Mayo selection of 2020 was named earlier on today. As this is a pre-season fixture Sunday’s FBD semi-final meeting with Galway is not, as such, a competitive […]
So it’s here. A new year has dawned and with it a whole new decade. Welcome to the Roaring Twenties, 21st Century style. From a footballing perspective, the start of a new year is always the moment where the focus turns away from what happened over the previous twelve months and starts to zero in instead on what’s up ahead. […]
This is just a quick reminder for those who fancy seeing a bit of football action this weekend. If you do, there are a few Connacht club games on that might be of interest. Starting tomorrow, Kilmaine take on Glenamaddy in the Connacht JFC quarter-final, with that game throwing in at Tuam Stadium at 2pm. Kilmaine didn’t, of course, win […]
It’s definitely time to turn the focus back onto on-field matters. What better way to do so than with some Championship draw news? The other evening the draws were made for next year’s 2020 provincial Championships at both U20 and Minor levels. Full details of the draws are here. The Minor one can be dealt with swiftly, as it’s being […]
After all the hype and all the chatter – which made it sound like it was the first bloody All-Ireland to be contested in a decade – the day ends with no winner. They go again on Saturday week. Letdowns don’t come much greater than All-Ireland finals that end all-square. I’ve been in Croke Park to witness such an outcome […]
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 […]
