It’s been a long and winding road this summer for the Mayo football team and its supporters but it’s a road that reached its end at Croke Park on Saturday evening.

We’re in an All-Ireland semi-final tomorrow so that means a bonus episode of the podcast is in order.

Once again, having barely processed all the excitement of the match we’ve just played, we’re hurtling towards another crunch game in this year’s Championship.

In this crazy, week-to-week Championship run we’ve been on all summer, it’s as if each day has its allotted role. If that is the case then today is the one where – all too briefly – we bask in the pure, unalloyed enjoyment of the win the lads secured the day before. What a win it was. In watching the […]
Mayo return to action this weekend in Phase 3 of the Super 8s after a one-week break that must have felt like a month for all involved.
