The last remaining match in this year’s National Football League – the delayed Division Three final between Westmeath and Laois, in which the Lake County prevailed by three points – was played this afternoon. The conclusion of this game means we can now also bring down the curtain on this year’s NFL prediction mini-league, which was hosted once again this […]
April is club month and the first round of fixtures in this year’s Senior and Intermediate club championships have now been confirmed. These matches will be played the weekend after next. Here’s the list of SFC matches down for decision then: Here are the IFC Round 1 matches on that weekend:
Over the last few years I’ve run a poll here on the site to determine who was our Player of the League in the campaign just concluded. David Clarke won the inaugural award in 2017 while Eoin O’Donoghue scooped the prize twelve months ago. As an aside, I’ve also run a Player of the Year poll in recent years but […]
We definitely have a winner now. The 2019 NFL prediction mini-league competition has one final round still to go but as this only involves one match – the delayed Division Three decider this weekend between Westmeath and Laois – and. seeing as the points on offer for that game aren’t enough to alter the final placings, it’s safe to conclude […]
We’re not going to lose the run of ourselves. Too many Mayo supporters have been scorched too often in the past to let their imaginations run wild now that we’ve finally tasted a bit of success on the national stage. We’re all way too battle-hardened for that. But what we can do – and what we should do – is […]

This week’s edition of the Mayo News, replete with […]
Yesterday’s National Football League final win will live long in the memory and central to this was the performances we saw from several Mayo players at Croke Park. In truth, it was very much a team display – as the saying goes, there’s no ‘i’ in team – by the lads yesterday. For example, although none of them featured in […]

We’ve only gone and won the League. Today’s super comeback win over Kerry in the Division One decider was as uplifting as it surprising.
