It’s a bit late to be doing this, I know, but it’s probably still worth posting a reminder about the Club Mayo Dublin draw that takes place from 9pm onwards tonight in Jury’s Croke Park. Aside from the monthly members’ draw – where there’s €6,000 in cash prizes on offer – a number (I’m not sure what that number is […]
Ahead of the minors’ appearance in the All-Ireland in two weeks time, those good Club Mayo Dublin people have gone into overdrive with a welter of match-related activity. They reckon that they may have a ticket allocation and should know later in the coming week what this allocation will be so plans are afoot for a draw for this precious […]
Just in case you haven’t seen any notice about it already, the first Club Mayo Dublin members’ draw takes place tonight at the Lucan Golf Club at 8.30 pm. Full details about tonight’s bash are on the website here. There’s lashings of prizes on offer and you could even end up going home with your Club Mayo Dublin fleece, well […]
Sunday’s match with Kerry was one of the NFL fixtures I’d pencilled out of the appointment book, what with it being Paddy’s weekend and with the Vins’ All-Ireland final date on Monday already in the diary (more on that later on, providing all this pesky work doesn’t impinge too much on available time), not to mention the fact that the […]
There’s a bit of a fog settled in around my head this morning after a tad too much red wine last night. It seemed like a good idea when I was knocking it back last night but my constitution isn’t what it once was. As a result, there’s a certain price to be paid this morning, the details of which […]
It meant having to wolf down a pancake and then battling through the rush-hour traffic (an hour in the car from Drumcondra to Kelly’s Corner) to get there 20 minutes or so after The Launch was supposed to have started. But there were plenty of other poor eejits like myself – including some of the senior panel – similarly snarled […]
Here’s one to bookmark: a new website for the Club Mayo Dublin initiative, which is being launched this evening in the Garda Club. There’s nothing on the website yet but, according to Mayofans.com, there will be shortly. More on the launch after it’s over (and once I’ve caught up with tonight’s episode of Prison Break).
Another Monday morning, another pre-dawn jaunt down the N7. Mind you, though, dawn came a bit earlier down the road this morning compared to last week. All together now: isn’t there a great stretch to the mornings? I’ve little or no time for blogging today so I’d better make this quick. How’s this for quick? I’ve no further news yet […]
Ahead of this evening’s Tim Kelly Engineering Floodlit Cup clash with Westmeath at Ballinrobe, here’s a piece from today’s Indo about Liam Sammon and his new book on coaching which should get us thinking about some more significant challenges facing us later in the year. I’m old enough to remember Liam Sammon as a player – a fine one he […]
Our kids might be growing into full-blown Jackeens before our eyes but all is not lost, it would appear, for us Dublin-based Mayo supporters. A new supporters club, to be known as “Mayo GAA Dublin” (how’s that for an original title?) will, according to this report, be launched on Tuesday, 5th February at the Garda Club. Ah yes, the Garda […]
