Great to see old fashioned romance is alive and well, shes a lucky woman
Sunday April 24th is the schedule date for the Mayo v Galway senior championship quarter final.
Keep us posted on what happens.
John Prenty has shown his true colours to what he makes of supporters.
With the new restrictions in place it was obvious and common sense approach to play all Connacht FBD game outdoors in provincial grounds in January but no, Prenty has told the media all games will stay in the Connacht gaa dome which under government restrictions only 300 will be allowed to attend each game.
The arrival of Covid hasn't helped, but the dome is looking like a white elephant and the Connacht Centre of Excellence not far behind.
Outside of Connacht the top counties are moving ahead with their own centres of excellence which they own and operate 100%. In Connacht, 5 counties are expected to share one centre, while at the same time develop their own.
Expecting young players to travel from West Galway, North Mayo, etc all the way to Ballyhaunis to do what exactly? That's if they can find a slot.
Where did you see this? Is it set in stone or still preliminary?
It's the official scheduled date.
Brian Carroll the Roscommon county board chairman published the date of Sligo/New York v Roscommon and he was asked for the date of Mayo v Galway, his reply was April 24th. The winner plays Leitrim/London May 8th and the Connacht final May 29th
Here we go, finally.........

Happy Xmas to my wife who has a weekend in sligo to look forward to at the end of January 🤣
Just
In other news Oisín still hasn't signed anything.
I did hear a few days ago he was staying put.Iam sure we no soon enough.
Good on him...he’s may well be playin one against the other. Its time the GAA looked after its own.
Mac Hale Park has been announced as venue for Mayo V Galway QF in April, bit surprised at that
Has anybody encountered difficulties in renewing Season Ticket, I have contacted Croke Park early Yesterday they have stated that they would pass it on to their Technical Support Team. Problem not solved as of today? I tried Yesterday and Today to contact Mac Hale Park (we are unable to connect your call was the reply).
I’ve a croke park ticket and renewed it from the GAA ticket site

Yes, just went to renew and tried on both phone and laptop and neither worked. It looks as though I can't seem to get through to the payment page or even add a credit card. Anyone got over this? Thanks.
Stephen Coen is the new captain.
Roll on him lifting the Sam McGuire, just as he did the minor and u21 cups :)
Update on this. Opened the tab in incognito mode and it worked. Renewed for 2022!
Stephen Coen is an excellent choice as captain . I feel fully vindicated in my unwavering support for him now :)
Tommy Conroy is a mad choice for VC though. Just let him play for now without putting unnecessary responsibility on him . And attention !
Can't understand why they don't give it to the man who is the real leader. It is so obvious that Keegan is the man who alway delivers. The problem may be his age now but I would give it to him just on the grounds of what he does on and off the pitch.
Horan is now under pressure as this is his last year I think. He needs to make a decision on AOS and build without him. It's going to be an interesting year and he has started off with a wrong decision for captain
There's two vice captains,Tommy and Paddy.Horan obviously sees some leadership and captain qualities in Tommy Conroy so this is a good way to nurture that without any real pressure or responsibility.
I doubt you'll get much support for your view that Stephen Coen is a wrong decision for captain.
Leeroy is obviously in the leadership group on the pitch,he the best I've e er seen for Mayo but he's played for Mayo for 10 years plus under 3 different regimes and has never been named captain for the year.Maybe he doesn't want it and prefers to concentrate on his own game,you are not privy to any of it and your post seems to be overly negative for the sake of it.
Not looking for support and I am not saying Coen is a bad choice but I am saying that there is a better option, a guy who has shown year on year to be the best footballer in Mayo. Maybe he was asked, declined but if I was Horan, I would beg him to be captain and not accept no. There is no other guy in the team of the caliber of Keegan. He is just an outstanding footballer.... real leader on the team.. don't get it tbh
Nobody with any sense would argue with you over the qualities of the legend that is Leeroy.
My issue is your post is unnessarily negative and based on nothing and we've see enough of that over the last few months.
You (same as me) are not privy to what goes on the Mayo camp.Even if you don't agree with Coen being given his chance as captain (and you'd be in a minority there) you could at least wish him well.
Keegan strikes me as someone who wouldn’t necessarily want the captaincy
Just wants to get out there and let his football do the talking. I think he is a bit of a joker in the dressing room too !
So now you can't have an opinion that gives negative criticism in a positive way. I have not said anything about Coen and he is probably very driven and be very good at it... so he is a good choice but he is not the best choice. That the difference in a nutshell for ya.
To be fair to Coen he’s captained all Ireland winning Minor, under 21 and Sigerson cup teams, the only player to ever captain winning teams at all 3 levels, so hard to see why he would not be considered an obvious choice. Leeroy wouldn’t be a bad choice for Captain but I would have Coen ahead of him in the pecking order for that role, primarily for the same reason as KM79 has mentioned - I doubt Keegan would want it.
Has Keegan ever been captain of Westport?
He said himself he wasn't the greatest club man before they won intermediate in 2018 (I think), so I doubt it unless he was in last couple of years
