Mayo 3-14 Galway 0-16

Mayo continue to dominate in Connacht as they sealed yet another title by defeatign Galway.

Mayo started the half better with some good opening play, their forwards proving particularly menacing. Lee Keegan punched the ball to the net from close range as he was approaching goal. Galway just didn’t seem to have the same composure up front as their neighbours as Mayo finished stronger and led by 1-9 to 0-5 points at the break. Continue reading →

GAA: Laois Look To Topple Tipp

gaa

Connacht Senior Football Championship Final

Galway v Mayo

Mayo and Galway battle in the Connacht final once again, this will be a tough hard fought game between both these sides. Mayo have been the dominant force in the last few years in the Connacht championship and have not been really challenged that much except for the exploits of Roscommon. Galway is an improving side in Connacht and their return to the Connacht final is a credit to their young players to help build a more competitive provincial championship. Mayo will still be firm favourites as Galway have a lot to learn and build on as the championship progresses. Mayo will have vastly greater experience than Galway playing at this level at the moment. Mayo will more than likely progress, Galway need to be as competitive as possible as they will face tough opposition regardless of the result. Continue reading →

GAA: Tipperary Run Riot While Laois Edge Through

gaa

All Ireland Football Qualifiers

Tipperary 2-17 Longford 0-6

Tipperary continued their march to Croker with a comprehensive win over Longford, who failed to reproduce the form that saw them edge past Derry.

Tipperary got off to the best possible of starts when Michael Quinlivan finished to the net after some good play from George Hannigan. Tipperary were in control and extended their lead to 1-8 to 0-4 at the break. The second half was really all about Tipperary with a second goal being fisted to the net by Peter Acheson giving them a very comprehensive lead as it dawned on Longford that they had no way back. Longford will be very disappointed as they really failed to turn up and play to their best, but they were never really in this game from the start. Tipperary on the other hand have improved and with members of  their All-Ireland winning minor team of 2011 now on the panel they are a force to be reckoned with. Tipperary big winners here by 2-17 to 0-6. Continue reading →

GAA Qualifiers: Backdoor Route Opens Up

All Ireland Football Championship Qualifiers

Derry v Longford

Longford will be disappointed at the way they exited the Leinster Championship at the hands of Wexford, Derry on the other hand should be well rested as they had plenty time to recover from their defeat to Donegal earlier in the season. Derry have a very strong midfield presence and that coupled with some good forward play will prove decisive. Longford may depend too heavily on the exploits of Paul Barden for scores.

GAA: Tribesmen Eye Connacht Final

gaa

Connacht Senior Football Championship

Sligo v Galway

Sligo and Galway have both had their dominant spells in the Connacht championship in recent years. Galway have shown they are still a formidable opponent in the Championship despite some poor showings in recent years. Sligo went beyond their expiry date when they last won the Connacht championship. Galway is the team to beat although home advantage is a big factor for Sligo in this game. If Galway can repeat how they played against Cork in last year’s All-Ireland, they would most certainly overcome Sligo this weekend. Continue reading →

GAA: Mayo Snatch Victory Over Brave Rossies

gaa

Connacht Senior Football Championship

Roscommon 1-9 Mayo 0-13

Mayo advanced to the Connacht final with a slender one point lead over Roscommon.

The game started at a really slow pace and never really got going. Mayo showed a little more enterprise in the opening half and established the lead. Roscommon had a barren spell for most of the first half and were very over reliant on the hand passing and this seemed to halt their progress up the pitch to get valuable scores. Both sides were guilty of some awful missed opportunities especially as Mayo’s shots landed short and into the keeper hands. Roscommon improved a little in the closing stages of half but both sides must be wondering what happened in the opening thirty five minutes as they only managed seven points. Continue reading →
