Galway Ladies enjoy a home venue for the first time since the season began when they host Tyrone in Mountbellew on Sunday (2pm) in the third round of the Bord Gáis Energy Ladies National Football League.

People in Galway city, Tuam, Ballinasloe and Gort will show their support for the charity GOAL during Christmas by running, walking or crawling the GOAL Mile.

It is suggested that trying to retain a title is one of the most difficult things to do in sport. Tyrone kick- started their campaign last Sunday and provided their thousands of supporters with sufficient evidence to suggest that they just might have to plan for a long summer following the Red Hand up and down the country after their very creditable dismantling of the current Ulster champions Armagh. The GAA hierarchy have been keeping their fingers crossed for some quality football after the debacle between Monaghan and Derry, and they got it. This was a great game of football, played by two quality teams and both teams deserve credit for contributing to a wonderful afternoon’s entertainment that made for compelling viewing.

Now in its 27th year, the hugely popular GOAL Mile event will once again be taking place at a venue near you this Christmas. People from across Westmeath will be showing their support for GOAL over the Christmas period by running, walking or crawling a Mile at their local venue.

•Prepare yourself for the Christmas dinner by taking part in the annual Galway GOAL mile which takes place on Christmas Day.

I was delighted to hear on Saturday evening that Ronan McGarrity had participated in the A v B game in McHale Park, it was good news for all concerned and his inclusion in the Mayo team announced on Wednesday night gives the county and the player himself a great boost going into this weekend’s Connacht final. Normally before matches of this nature, I’m fairly confident in predicting in advance who will win, but this time I’m finding it difficult. Mayo’s performances in the championship to date have been hugely impressive albeit against weak opposition. And on the other hand Galway have been deteriorating since half time in the league game in Tuam, when Mayo came back in the second half in impressive style to win the game. Since half time in that game, every time Galway have togged out they have had question marks hanging over them. In Sligo they were very lucky and had to use six different combinations at midfield to see off the Yeats county men who, if they had a bit more conviction when goal chances were presented, could have sent Liam Sammon’s side into the qualifiers at that stage.

Dublin-based band Caruso take to the stage in Athlone’s intimate Passionfruit Theatre next Friday January 23.
