Mayo County Council announced earlier today that Sunday’s All-Ireland football final between Mayo and Kerry at Croke Park will be shown live on a big screen to be set up at the Mall in Castlebar.
Castlebar Chamber and Mayo County Council’s Castlebar Municipal District secured the big screen for the game thanks to the generous support of local businesses. Throw-in for the big game on Sunday is 3.30pm and, for those who can’t make it to Croke Park, the Mall is an ideal alternative place to watch Mayo’s first tilt at Sam since 2021.
Those who are still searching for that golden ticket will be interested in Mayo GAA’s fundraising draw, which has three pairs of final tickets as prizes. Tickets for the draw must be purchased before 10am on Thursday and further details on the draw are here.
If you’re lucky enough to be one of the winners in the draw or if you have your tickets sorted already, you may be interested in heading to the capital on one of official buses being operated by Corduff Travel, Mayo GAA’s official travel partners. They have departures from Westport, Castlebar and Swinford and further details are here.

Whatever about tickets, I'll be in Dublin to watch this game with my daughter. We've shared the journey through her 21 years. Ecstasy and heartache. But there's a beating heart that's strong and proud.
I'm doing the Reek first. Wearing my Mayo jersey to the top and carrying the flag. Am leading a prayer service at 7.30am....and you know where my heart will be.
Have the Mayo flags and bunting up at the three Churches in Mayo!!
And when we win I'll be on the Reek again, Monday evening at 1951hrs.
You're welcome to join me.
It's not now or never, it's time.
Maigheo abú 🌟
Well done Castlebar!!

7:30am service on top of the Reek and then heading straight to Dublin? Fair play.

MoDíreach, you are nearly as good as Padraig O’Hora. My dad coming to Dublin to watch with me too if we don’t get tickets.
