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 […]
The GAA have this afternoon confirmed the dates and times for next weekend’s Round 4 qualifier ties – details here.

The Round 4 football qualifier draw has just been made and we’ve been paired with Galway. Should we get over this hurdle at the weekend, this means that we’re in Group 1 for the Super 8s, long with Kerry, Donegal and the winners of Clare and Meath. So that’s the road now facing us but, of course, the only thing […]

This is the final football qualifier draw of the year and the pairings made in the morning also […]

Both sides gave it everything as they battled desperately to keep their Championship hopes alive but when the dust had settled it was Mayo who had emerged with the narrowest of wins. In this episode […]
Holy moly, that one was close. Such was the meltdown we suffered in those final few frantic moments at MacHale Park last night that the coverage this morning could easily have been about our Championship exit. But it’s not, we won and the media reports are all about that heart-stopping, blood-and-thunder, old-fashioned knockout Championship victory we managed to secure. Here’s […]
