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 […]
So, after a break of almost seven months, this evening we’re finally back in action. The James Horan Mk II era faces its first competitive test tonight at MacHale Park where Roscommon provide the opposition in the opening round of the National Football League Division One. Throw-in is set for 7pm. The start of the action every year is eagerly […]

But 2018 and its awfulness from a Mayo GAA perspective is now firmly in the past, with the focus fixed on the challenges that face us anew in the year that has […]
If it has felt like an age since we all last saw the senior county team in action then, well, that’s because it has been. Since Newbridge it’s been nowhere for us, a void that has lasted over six months. Half a bloody year, in other words. Much has happened, of course, in the intervening period and so when, a week […]
I’ve been chasing round the place on different things over the last few days so it’s time to pop my head back in here for a quick update. Just to keep the pot stirred and the spoon licked. First off, Andy Moran has confirmed that he’s back on board for 2019. That’s covered in the Irish Examiner, Irish Mirror, Irish […]

You can read the statement in full here. In it, James confirms that over one hundred players from 44 clubs took part in the trial matches that were […]
The Greenway Café at Lough Lannagh Village in Castlebar, right beside where the planned Mayo GAA Centre of Excellence will be located, was the venue last night for a media event with the recently appointed Mayo manager James Horan. The Mayo News football podcast was there and an in-depth discussion with the new manager forms the centrepiece of this bonus […]
Photo: RTÉ So the draw’s been made for next year’s provincial championships, giving us a bit of clarity about the shape of early summer for us next year. Not a bad shape either, you’d have to say. It’s not an ultra-easy draw for us or anything. For the sixth year in a row we’ve been handed the task of beating […]
