Happy St Patrick’s Day all. This one is even happier as we luxuriate in the afterglow of last night’s super win over Kerry down in Tralee. Winning makes the job of ploughing through the match coverage a far more pleasant one as well. Here’s what’s online this morning about the game. Locals: Mayo Advertiser. Nationals: Sunday Independent, Irish Times, Irish […]
Memories of the bright start Mayo made to this year’s League campaign are starting to fade quickly, with those three opening wins now followed by back-to-back Division One defeats. This latest reversal, at home to Galway, continues what is now a long run of defeats to the neighbours and, for James Horan, it marks a first ever loss to them […]
It’s a full decade this year since I first started to make available those rambling inarticulate post-match reports I provide from games I’ve attended. The format of these has stayed largely the same since then, though I’m probably less sweary in them now than I used to be one time, as I’ve kept to the original brief I adopted for […]
Mayo were back at Croke Park on Saturday night for the first time since the 2017 All-Ireland final but it proved to be an unhappy return. James Horan’s side came into this meeting with Dublin with an unbeaten record in this year’s National League but they left Croke Park having suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of the four-in-a-row […]
Right, I may as well get this one over with as quickly and painlessly as possible. Here’s a rundown of the coverage on last night’s NFL defeat to Dublin at Croke Park, along with the available reports on the much more competitive LGFA encounter between the two counties at the same venue yesterday evening. Locals: Mayo Advertiser, Connaught Telegraph. Nationals: […]
We’ve named our team, they most likely won’t reciprocate until some time tomorrow – and then, of course, make a few further switches just prior to throw-in – so all that’s left to do now is to point you towards various things that need to be pointed towards as we head into our first meeting for a while with Dublin. […]
Mayo’s early season form continued its positive trend on Saturday night where victory over Cavan made it three League wins from three outings. This latest success keeps the county on top of the Division One table, with fears of relegation receding rapidly and thoughts starting to stir about a possible League final appearance later in the spring. In this episode […]
The sun is shining brightly again this morning and we’re basking in the afterglow of a third straight League win. Here’s a quick gallop through the coverage that’s out there on our five-point win last night over Cavan. Locals: Mayo Advertiser, Connaught Telegraph, Anglo Celt, Northern Sound. Nationals: Irish Independent, Irish Examiner, Irish Mirror, Irish Sun, Times UK (paywall). Others: […]
Mayo supporters become accustomed in recent years to enduring tough National League campaigns, where wins invariably prove to be hard-fought ones. James Horan has only two competitive matches under his belt back since taking up the reins once again as manager, however, but already he has brought his Mayo team close to Division One safety. Yesterday’s nine-point win over Tyrone […]
The sun is out, the icy cold of late appears to have departed and we’re sitting pretty on top of Division One after two rounds of League games. There are worse ways to face into the week than this. So let’s add to that good mood by splashing around in the coverage that’s out there on yesterday’s heartwarming nine-point win […]
