The wind blew hard and the rain came down in torrents at Austin Stack Park in Tralee last night but Mayo, taking the field in their distinctive new blue away strip, were equal to the conditions not to mention the challenge laid down by high-flying Kerry. James Horan’s men carved out a memorable two-point win over the home team, extending […]
Happy St Patrick’s Day all. This one is even happier as we luxuriate in the afterglow of last night’s super win over Kerry down in Tralee. Winning makes the job of ploughing through the match coverage a far more pleasant one as well. Here’s what’s online this morning about the game. Locals: Mayo Advertiser. Nationals: Sunday Independent, Irish Times, Irish […]
Going into tonight’s match against Kerry in Tralee, it was pretty obvious that we would have to have to put in a much improved display if we were going to have any hopes of getting a result. That’s exactly what we did, as the lads – attired in their snazzy new deep blue away jerseys – fought like demons from […]
After a fortnight’s break, National League action resumes for the lads tonight with a tough assignment down south. Unbeaten Kerry provide the opposition in this Round 6 fixture, with throw-in scheduled for 7pm at Austin Stack Park in Tralee. It’s difficult enough to mount a credible case in favour of our chances of putting a halt to Kerry’s gallop tonight. […]

This has been a known known for a while but a piece by Mike Finnerty in today’s Irish Examiner (here) provides a further reminder that tickets for the Connacht Championship opening round fixture in New York are going to be in short supply. The once-in-every-five-years Gaelic Park fixture has long been a favoured trip for Mayo GAA fans but this […]
The weather – not to mention the current geopolitical situation – might be wild and unstable right now but, in contrast, the build-up to our NFL Round 6 clash with Kerry is quiet and fairly low-key. In case it had slipped your mind the match takes place on Saturday evening at Austin Stack Park in Tralee (throw-in 7pm), where Fermanagh […]
We’re now only a few days away from this weekend’s NFL Round 6 clash with Kerry so it’s time to turn the focus in that direction. This fixture – which is already a sell-out but will be broadcast live by Eir Sport – takes place at Austin Stack Park in Tralee on Saturday night, where throw-in is 7pm. The match […]
It’s been a punishing League campaign up in Division 2A for the county’s hurlers but it ended today on a high note. Over at McGovern Park in Ruislip this afternoon the hurlers recorded a 0-16 to 1-10 win over London, a result that ensures the retention of the county’s place in Division 2A once again next year, while consigning the […]

The game in the Big Apple takes place the day after this year’s Mayo Day […]
