This is just a quick one, to remind everyone about the three do-or-die Connacht club football Championship ties involving teams from the county that are down for decision this weekend. Starting at Senior level, on Sunday county champions Ballintubber take on seven-in-a-row Galway champions Corofin at Tuam Stadium. Fresh from their close shave against Tuam Stars, defending All-Ireland champions Corofin […]
Many of you will have a received an email today – as I did too – announcing that GAA season tickets are now open for renewal for 2020. If you’re planning to renew your season ticket once again, note that the deadline for doing so is 31st December. Prices for 2020 are unchanged from this year, with the standard season […]
Here’s a quick review of the provincial club Championship action that was on this weekend. The short version – three matches, three wins for teams from the county. Let’s start with the hurling. Tooreen were in Connacht IHC action this afternoon at Athleague where they met London’s Robert Emmet’s to battle it out for a place in the provincial final. […]
The 2019 All-Star football team has just been unveiled. As we’d expected and hoped, Paddy Durcan has been named at right half-back on the team. It’s his first All-Star award. Paddy is our sole All-Star winner this year but it was great to see the Mitchels man claim the award. He had an outstanding summer in the Green and Red, […]
This is just a quick reminder for those who fancy seeing a bit of football action this weekend. If you do, there are a few Connacht club games on that might be of interest. Starting tomorrow, Kilmaine take on Glenamaddy in the Connacht JFC quarter-final, with that game throwing in at Tuam Stadium at 2pm. Kilmaine didn’t, of course, win […]
It’s definitely time to turn the focus back onto on-field matters. What better way to do so than with some Championship draw news? The other evening the draws were made for next year’s 2020 provincial Championships at both U20 and Minor levels. Full details of the draws are here. The Minor one can be dealt with swiftly, as it’s being […]
I think most people will agree by now that the dispute that has occurred between Mayo GAA and the Mayo GAA International Supporters Foundation (which, for the sake of brevity, I’ll refer to simply as the Foundation) is a hugely regrettable mess. I don’t, though, want to dwell on the dispute itself in this piece. Instead my aim is to […]
This is just a quick one to confirm two club championship results from matches played today involving clubs from the county. Both were winning performances too. First up it’s Tooreen who began their Connacht Intermediate hurling championship campaign this afternoon at Athleague with a win over Four Roads of Roscommon. As the photo above confirms, Tooreen came out on top […]
The notion behind The Underdogs show on TG4 is that it provides a platform for footballers who haven’t made it at county level to showcase their talents. Tonight’s televised match between a Mayo selection and the Underdogs at MacHale Park was, however, as much about the emerging talent in the Green and Red jerseys as it was the lads in […]
Tomorrow evening at MacHale Park promises to be a fun occasion, with two games taking place under the lights, the first of which sees a number of iconic names from yesteryear lacing up their boots and hitting the turf once again. The main event tomorrow night is the match between the TG4 Underdogs and a Mayo selection, which is also […]
