He died yesterday at Mayo University Hospital following an illness. JJ Cribbin was a talented forward who tasted national success with the Green and Red at both underage and senior level. Ordained as a priest in […]

Photo: @MayoGAA The annual County Convention was on last weekend and I said then that I’d post details here of the Convention report and accounts once they’d been published. They now have so here they are (pdf) – Convention Report, Financial Accounts. Plenty to go through there over the Festive season. If paperwork doesn’t do it for you, though, you might […]
Photo: @MayoGAA It’s proving to be a very quiet December from a Mayo GAA point of view – this is the first post I’ve done here since late November – but two events this weekend merit a mention. The first was last night’s rip-roaring U21A football championship final between Claremorris and Westport played in biblically awful weather conditions at MacHale […]
Photo: The Green above the Red I don’t know about the rest of you but I’ve enjoyed the last few months, as I’ve been able to prise myself away from what had for ages felt like 24:7 attention to the blog. It’s been nice, to be honest, to focus my time mainly on issues other than Mayo GAA but over […]
Every year once the action concludes another year of Mayo GAA results gets added to the archive here on the site. The results for 2017 have now been placed alongside the 115 years already there, the matches played this year now forming part of the rich tapestry that is the story of inter-county football in Mayo. 2017 saw twenty matches […]
Photo: @officialgaa The main focus for us this weekend is, understandably, on MacHale Park tomorrow afternoon and the match that’ll determine our League status for next year. It’s not the only match on this weekend, though, and there were a few games of note that took place today. What better place to start than at Croke Park? It was at HQ […]
Photo: @mayonewssport The county’s reign as Connacht and All-Ireland U21 football champions is over, following this evening’s 2-13 to 1-10 defeat to Galway at Tuam in the Connacht semi-final. By all accounts, the young Tribesmen were full value for their victory and were well on top all evening. They weren’t, however, able to translate this dominance fully onto the scoreboard […]
Tyrone have named their team to play us on Sunday. Heaven’s above, they’ve even named their subs as well. Here’s the full list they’ve named: Tyrone (NFL Division One v Mayo, 26/3/2017): Niall Morgan (Éadan na dTorc); Pádraig Hampsey (Oileán a’Ghuail), Ronan McNamee (Achadh Uí Aráin), Cathal McCarron (An Droim Mór); Rory Brennan (Trí Leac), Justin McMahon (An Omaigh), Tiernan McCann (Coill an Chlochair); Colm Cavanagh (An Mhaigh), Declan […]
I’ve just done a quick scan of all the matches involving the county this coming weekend and it’s a bit of a list. It’s worth, then, providing an overview of what’s on so you can check the diary and see which ones you might be able to make. First up is the double-header at Tuam Stadium on Saturday. The curtain-raiser there […]
