Less than a year after reaching their first All-Ireland semi-final in 30 years, Monaghan have exited the Championship before July after defeat to Armagh in their All-Ireland qualifier clash in Clones. It was seen as the tie of the round following Armagh’s narrow Ulster semi-final replay loss to Cavan two week’s ago. Monaghan laboured to a win against Fermanagh on …

They never get it easy in Mayo that’s for sure.  Throughout their run to this year’s Allianz Football League title, newcomer, Matthew Ruane, had forged a blossoming partnership with his Breaffy clubmate, Aidan O’Shea. Ruane was a colossus in the engine room for James Horan’s side. He was their best performer by a mile in their fourth round drubbing to …

The Mayo County Board have slammed the GAA’s scheduled throw-in time for their second-round qualifier fixture with Down next Saturday.  The first championship meeting between the two counties was fixed for 7 pm at Páirc Esler meaning that the Mayo supporters face a long trek across the country for the evening time fixture. Following the decision, Mayo PRO Paul Cunnane …

Once again, Mayo have become the subject of intense scrutiny following their defeat to Roscommon in the Connacht SFC. Following the loss, leading pundit, Joe Brolly, chastised the Mayo team over what he described as “the disaster of all disasters” and that was only the tip of the iceberg as Brolly went on to personally attack some of the Mayo …

Mayo 0-17 Roscommon 2-12 What a game… what a finish… what a win for Anthony Cunningham and Roscommon. Two early goals from Roscommon helped them secure a huge win over Mayo in Castlebar in what was a classic Connacht encounter. It marked the first time that Roscommon beat their rivals away from home in championship football for over 30 years. …

Gaelic football takes centre stage this weekend as All-Ireland champions, Dublin, start their journey towards what they hope is an unprecedented five-in-a-row.  They take on a Louth side who will be buoyed by their goal-scoring exploits in 2019. The game in Portlaoise will act as the main event in a double-header with Carlow versus Meath. Another Leinster double-header goes down …

Dublin make their 2019 championship bow this weekend when they travel to O’Moore Park in Portlaoise to take on Louth in the LSFC. It is the first game in what will hopefully be a monumental summer for Jim Gavin and his charges as the Metropolitans go in search of the GAA’s first ever five-in-a-row. With odds as high as 100/1 …

With the Allianz Leagues officially coming to an end and the build-up to the All-Ireland Championship beginning, it’s time to assess each of the teams competing in 2019. While Mayo may have won the league, are they really top of the pile? Does a first national title in 18 years mean you should leapfrog the team going for five-in-a-row? Where …

The Allianz Leagues wrapped up on Sunday (almost) as Mayo and Limerick lifted their first Allianz League trophies in 18 and 22 years respectively in Croke Park. For some teams, it was a league campaign to remember, for others it was one to forget. With that in mind, we have decided to select our GAA Stock Watch based on the …

Mayo dismantled a high-flying Kerry on Sunday to pick up their first national title in 18-years after a run of nine straight Croke Park final defeats. From start to finish they were the better side and had it not been for two classy Kerry goals in the opening half then Mayo could have had plenty to spare come the end. …

Diarmuid O’Connor spoke of his delight for the Mayo supporters after the team ended a run of nine straight Croke Park final defeats against Kerry on Sunday. The Mayo captain was in inspirational form for James Horan’s side en route to defeating Kerry for the second time this season, admitting it was great to get some silverware after four years …

Following a league campaign that started like a house on fire before burning out and then lighting up again, Mayo find themselves in their first Allianz Football League final since 2012.

The group stages are over and all there is left to play for in the Allianz Football League is silverware this Saturday and Sunday. Seven tough rounds of games have come and gone and while the winners are yet to be determined we know the six counties who have been condemned to the drop. While relegation doesn’t necessarily always translate …

What a hectic weekend of Allianz League action it was.  In the Allianz Hurling League, our four semi-finalists have been confirmed. All-Ireland champions Limerick put a beating on Laois to set-up a tie with a high-flying Dublin side who shocked everybody by taking out Tipperary last weekend in Semple Stadium. The other semi-final pits 2017 All-Ireland champions, Galway against a …
