The team for tomorrow evening’s Connacht U20 football final at Tuam Stadium (7.30pm) was named earlier this evening. It’s the same team that started the semi-final against Sligo last week and here it is: Mayo (Connacht U20 final v Galway 10/7/2019): Jamie McNicholas (Kiltimagh); Jack Coyne (Ballyhaunis), Rory Brickenden (Westport), Oisín Mullin (Kilmaine); Aaron McDonnell (Ballinrobe), Conor Beirne (Breaffy), Eoghan […]
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 […]
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 […]
We named our team a bit earlier on for this evening’s Connacht Minor final against Galway, a match that throws in at Tuam Stadium at 7.30pm. The team we’ve named is unchanged from that which started in last week’s semi-final against Sligo. Here it is: Mayo (Connacht MFC final v Galway, 5/7/2019): Luke Jennings (Ballinrobe); Alfie Morrison (Louisburgh), Oisín Tunney […]
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, […]
It’s semi-final night in the Connacht U20 Championship, in which our lads open their campaign with a clash against Sligo at MacHale Park. The match throws in this evening at 7.30pm. The starting team for this evening’s fixture was announced yesterday and here it is: Mayo (Connacht U20 semi-final v Sligo, 3/7/2019): Jamie McNicholas (Kiltimagh); Jack Coyne (Ballyhaunis), Rory Brickenden […]
So we’ve drawn Galway in Round 4. There’s more than a little bit of poetic justice in this. Had we gone the direct route we’d still have had to beat Galway in the Connacht final to make the Super Eights. This is now the task that faces us on Saturday evening at the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick (throw-in 7pm), only […]
On a day when we definitely needed some good news, the county’s Minors provided it. They blasted five goals past Sligo in this evening’s Connacht MFC semi-final at MacHale Park, winning by 5-7 to 1-10. When the teams met in the group stage of this year’s provincial Championship in late May it was the Sligo youngsters who had the better […]
By the sounds of it, this afternoon’s Connacht LGFA decider at MacHale Park was a real belter. Champions Galway led by four at the break but great rally by the home team saw them lead before Galway hit back to force a draw. The replay will take place on 7th July, with the finer details to be confirmed later. Galway […]
After a four-week break, we’re back in Championship once action again tonight. Down provide the opposition in this Round 2 qualifier tie at Páirc Esler in Newry, where throw-in is 7pm. Longford’s Fergal Kelly is the ref. Our Connacht semi-final defeat to Roscommon was costly for us in many respects. It’s given us a hard path to negotiate to reach […]
