We’re back in the final and, because yesterday’s match was an All-Ireland semi-final, there’s obviously oodles of coverage about it. Here are all your Monday morning links to what’s online relating to yesterday’s big win for the lads over Tipperary at a fog-bound Croke Park. Locals: Mayo Advertiser, Connaught Telegraph (match report, post-match quotes), Tipperary Live. Nationals: Irish Times (live […]
It’s funny how, after the long lay-off, we all got quickly into the game-a-week rhythm. But this weekend there’s no Mayo match on – what are we going to do with ourselves at all? Nothing for it but to do a trawl online for stuff that’s relates to us or that’s relevant from our perspective. Here are a few bits […]
The pandemic is still with us – very much so, Marty, as Martin Carney would say – but we’re getting ever closer to the date when inter-county football is set to resume. It’s certainly a weird year in footballing terms, as it is for pretty much every aspect of life right now. Over the next four weeks, while the leaves […]
While part of the reason why so many new lads have got game time in this year’s League campaign has undoubtedly come from a desire to blood fresh talent, it’s also surely due to the fact that so many of the established panel have been out injured this spring. The exploits of players like Oisín Mullin, Eoghan McLaughlin, Ryan O’Donoghue, […]
Mayo are in the midst of a tightly compressed series of National League Division One games right now and, as often is the case at this time of year, there are positives and negatives to how the county’s senior team has performed so far. James Horan has his hands full at the minute but, despite this, the Mayo manager took time out […]
We’re starting 2020 on the Mayo News football podcast with a mixture of off-field and on-field action. Our first episode of the year focuses on the Club Stars annual awards banquet, which attracted a bumper attendance to the Knockranny Hotel in Westport on Saturday night, before moving onto MacHale Park in Castlebar yesterday afternoon where Mayo took on Galway in […]
This can often be an odd time of the year from a football perspective, with the Championship up and running but at the same time not enough action to get your teeth into. That shouldn’t be a complaint for punters heading to MacHale Park on Saturday. It was announced yesterday that county teams will be in action in three different […]
There can often be a longish lull each year between our final League match and our Championship opener. Not so this year, in light both of our run to the League final and the trip to New York. The League decider was only played a few short weeks ago but the match in Gaelic Park is now but eleven days […]
Lee Keegan is all over the media at the moment, having taken part in a promotional event yesterday to launch the National Féile competition. He had plenty of interesting things to say. In the piece with him on the RTÉ website (here) he talks about the successful League and looks ahead to how we’re shaping up for the summer. He […]
So, we’ve played three rounds of League games and it’s as case of so far, so good for James Horan’s second stint in charge. We’ve won all three games, we lead the Division One table, we’re level on points at the top with Kerry but ahead of them on points difference, as we’ve made our best start to a League […]
