GAA: Mayo GAA IFC Round One- Who'll pass the toughest test in intermediate

Fri, Aug 18, 2023

The ad men for the sponsors of the All Ireland Minor Championships came up in recent years with the tag line 'This is Major' for their advertising campaign - to emphasise how important the minor championship is for its young stars. Well, for each of the teams battling to become Mayo GAA Intermediate champions, there is no tougher competition to call in Mayo football than the intermediate championship, with at least a dozen, if not all 16 sides, having their eyes set on taking the big prize.

In group one on Saturday evening, Davitts who were relegated from the senior championship last year, will face off against a Parke-Keelogues-Crimlin side, who every year put it up to the best in this grade and continue to develop. Ballindine is no easy place to go and the south Mayo men will be hoping to make that advantage count in this one. In the other game in the group, the freshly minted Junior champions from last year, Islandeady, will be hosting a Bonniconlon side, who have been making good strides in recent times - the feel good factor from last year and a good league campaign could tip the balance in the home side's favour.

Dubs get back to the summit

Fri, Aug 04, 2023

Dublin has reclaimed the Sam Maguire after a thrilling final over reigning champions Kerry. The greasy conditions made executing the basic skills not the simplest, but this was still a ferocious battle.

I was breathless watching it, such was the intensity. It's remarkable that amateur sportsmen can put in performances like we witnessed last Sunday, and I'm not just talking about a few players – the entire squads literally emptied their tanks and ran themselves to a standstill.
