Mayo GAA

Iconic Tribesmen of 1998; Mayo unimpressed; Ulster on the rise; form holding up; and more

A considerate, inclusive and shrewd man who respected colleagues and opponents alike, he rarely forgot a name

John O’Mahony managed Galway senior football team to All-Ireland titles in 1998 and 2001

O’Shea has the most appearances of any outfield player in the history of the senior football championship

Ciarán Murphy: Cautious Cork refused to even place a bet when all the chips were on the table and Louth duly scooped the pot

Mickey Harte’s side made it their business to get men who are key to an opposition’s game plan doing jobs they didn’t want to do

Clare skip into hurling semi-final clash with Kilkenny; Scotland sent homeward after painful defeat to Hungary; Harrington’s hat-trick at Dick’s

Aidan O’Rourke’s team proved much too good for a highly rated Mayo side

Mickey Harte’s side prevail after ding-dong encounter but the home side will regret the chances missed prior to the penalty shootout

Mayo are coming from a different position. Frustrated not to get the win over Dublin, they are nonetheless on a run of just one defeat in the past seven matches

Kevin McStay’s side are probably not All-Ireland contenders, but been playing well enough to expect a better showing from supporters

Mickey Harte will also have Gareth McKinless available after he served his two-game suspension

Dessie Farrell’s team aren’t as far ahead of the pack as people assumed, but they will improve and it’s up to everybody else to keep up

No outfield player has more senior football championship appearances than O’Shea. Mayo will miss him when he’s gone, they just mightn’t know it yet

The statistics told Mayo to drop off on Dublin’s last kickout - they didn’t; Tyrone love their attacking lanes; Galway’s issues with defensive balance

With Con O’Callaghan, Paul Mannion, Colm Basquel and Paddy Small to include as well, balance will be critical

Jarlath Burns indicates the group stages are on the way out; Mayo show what they are made of; Cork are on a learning curve

Dublin and Armagh strike late equalisers to secure All-Ireland quarter-final places

Cormac Costello grabs an injury-time leveller to snatch a draw after a fantastic game in Dr Hyde Park

It’s been a reasonable campaign to date for Kevin McStay’s Mayo side but we will know a lot more about their potential this year after they face Dublin at Hyde Park
