got this this am

Following discussions between the London County Board and the Connacht Council Mayo GAA can confirm we have received a limited allocation of tickets to cover players, management and sponsors for the upcoming Connacht Senior championship game on May 29th in Ruislip.

The size of this allocation means we cannot supply tickets to our clubs nor will we have tickets for sale through Elverys MacHale Park. Unfortunately this means some fans may not have access to tickets. We will endeavour to work with the London County Board and the Connacht Council and should more tickets be become available we will notify clubs immediately.

Another uber-dramatic one-point victory for the Mayo u21s. While it's always good to see the Dubs getting beat I would be a tad concerned going forward, e.g. what did the manager say to those lads at half-time, they looked catatonic in the second half? I think they'll really have to perform in both halves to beat Cork. The Rebel's No.11 for example is a lot better than anything Dublin had and will need watching.

Good team this Mayo side - another exciting bunch of attack minded backs emerging onto the scene, particularly Akram who was very busy. Shame Cian Hanley's not there but they're good enough to win anyway.

Padraig Hughes from Armagh is the referee for the All Ireland under 21 football final.Not a huge fan as he tends to overly fussy and whistle happy which tends to be a hindrance to the possibility of a free flowing contest.

If he refs like that at home he must put in some very long days.;)

It was looking very ominous for the ladies there for a while. Fair play to them for pulling it back!

The first person to suggest that the last time Leicester City won the league was 1951 gets a slap from me.

OK, maybe there is something in it.

Come on you spurs

Should you not be asking the Rossie's permission to reference Leicester City? A month ago, they were convinced they were the "fairytale, feel good factor" story of the year.

They have all disappeared off boards since then

But we are well used to that, wait for a few weeks and they will be back when the "Tar is melting and the ice cream is melting"

I wish I shared your optimism regarding the weather forecast. Doesn't seem very realistic today.

PressRun · 26-04-2016 03:11PM

Mike Solan hopeful that he'll have a fully fit squad for the U21 final, which is good news. The full-back who went off injured in the semi-final is expected to be back for the match. How many expected to head down to Ennis? Sadly the timing couldn't be worse for me, so I won't be able to make it.

Fowler87 · 26-04-2016 09:20PM

Heading down to it for sure. An AI is at stake. Never mind the good it would do for the county but the confidence and most importantly the self belief it will bring to this young team will be colossal.

Fr Tod Umptious · 27-04-2016 01:08AM

Really disappointed that I can't make it.

On the 10th anniversary of the last great triumph at U21 and all, same opposition, same venue.

Same result hopefully.

Yes, a win here would be very significant going forward as many of the guys involved would be minors from 2013.
That sort of experience in Mayo has been a rare commodity for decades, hopefully they can win it.

Might see you there!;-) I'd be expecting a very big crowd to head down,there's an All Ireland at stake and this crop of potentially very special players have a record of success and are Mayo's future.In addition it's a bank holiday weekend which is likely to bump the numbers up.The traffic is likely to be brutal,I've never been to Ennis before.I've been told by a Banner man that the parking is not too easy to come by.

I missed out on the 2006 win,TG4 was my saviour that day.I can't imagine there will be a very large crowd travelling from the Rebel county?It's going to take a monumental effort for the lads to get over the line,Cork have a very decent team.They've beaten a highly regarded Kerry team and Monaghan.Young Hurley is going to require special attention.

mayo.mick · 27-04-2016 01:06PM

Hope to make it down myself, will be a long day with some MAyo day tidy towns duties in morning!

I see brehaney putting the boot into Mayo again,

I think they're going to have to find another gear too. Dozing off midmatch isn't going to cut it. I think Cork are where they fully expected to be in this competition.

There'll be some craic in Ennis if they win!

Ennis is a great spot I saw Clare play there a couple of times in the early 90s .

I was at the 1992 munster final when they beat Kerry we were on the sideline, I think it was in limerick. I've never been on the sideline watching a game before or since. That was a great day.

padd b1975 · 28-04-2016 10:54PM

When is the team being named?

Stoner · 29-04-2016 04:38PM

Good luck tomorrow lads, is it really Mayo day tomorrow. Just heard it on newstalk .

They don't tend to name the Mayo team at this grade until match day from what I've observed over the years.
