    Cillian may be back Saturday night. Check out this week's Mayo News Podcast.

    Very close.

    Matthew Ruane is unlikely to be back post surgery until the championship.

    Doc rehabbing well.Unsure re a timeline.

    Well lads. First visit to Castlebar this Saturday. What pubs are near the stadium and any recommendations for a few pints of Guinness in town after?

    McHale park not too long a walk from the centre of town, so pretty free on the choice for pre match scoops. Hog's Heaven beside the cinema probably the closest if you want to stay close pre match.

    Been a while since I drank Guinness in town. I'd imagine Johnny McHale's would still do a decent pint, but I'm open to correction there. One of the longer standing pubs in town, so probably worth a visit for that alone. Close to Linnenhall Street, so easy enough to swing into plenty of other options after to find a good fit if needed.

    Cead mile failte romhat.:)

    Johnny Mc Hale's reportedly has the finest pint of guinness in the town.Not a partaker of that particular poison myself.:)

    Mick Byrnes pub is the well known gaaaaaah pub in the town if you wish to be regaled with stories of heroic deeds on the football field.

    Some of our finest gaelic football scribes including the legendary Sean Rice pass through.

    Johnnys is a nice spot but head to Mick Byrnes for the GAA chat,he loves having fans from other counties in .Bridge St is certainly worth a visit and all those pubs mentioned are within 2 min walk of eachother.
    There's only Hogs beside the ground but as others have said the town centre is only 10 mins walk from MacHale Park.
    Enjoy yer trip to Cbar!

    Johnny McHales is the best for Guinness in my opinion! Rocky's is a nice pub too and usually has music on, although I haven't been to Rocky's in a while!

    Enjoy!!!

    There is a late bar called Cox's just down the street from Johnny McHale's.

    Owned by one of your own crowd, well it was anyway, not sure if it still is.

    Intentions might be good, but I'd say the weather has other ideas this weekend, ya'll most likely not see the top of the reek!

    As a truly unbiased Mayo man lol one has to climb this most iconic of natural wonders of the world at some point in time.

    I passed it on my way home from work this evening and there is a nice covering of snow from the summit down.

    A decade of wonderful memories and road trips

    Unfortunately, there is not a section for either of those in the record books though.

    Double checks records books to make sure Connacht 5 in a row is still there
    Yep still there
    League title last year
    Yep still there

    And then there is the underage successes
    Yep still there

    Along with the memories , road trips and new friendships made

    We are happy enough . Thanks for the concern

    Guys/Girls whats the story with Cian Hanley i know he was fairly rusty when he first came back but i would have expected him to be making the team by now. I heard he went to the US last summer but he doesnt seem to be involved this year? His own decision or not cutting it?

    Tolsters is pretty close to the pitch, less than a 10 min walk. A good place for a pre match pint I think and on the more "natural way" of walking from main street to McHale Park I feel.

    You'd be correct, not worth it in that weather.

    The way things are looking this is gonna be played in a gale. Not exactly what we need.

    Listened to James Horan interview on the Mayo News Podcast. Alot of talk of developing and growing. He is delighted with his back-room team, says they are a 'new level' . Fionn will be back soon and is pushing hard. Liam Irwin still involved. He has had alot of issues with hamstring injuries so they are getting him conditioned for inter-county life, good to hear. Gary Boylan has been released after bringing in 4 of the U-20's. Also mentioned that he is pretty confident Oisin Mullin will be with Mayo for the 2020 championship. Worrying news for Mayo beyond that I would have thought
