Mayo-related matches are coming thick and fast at us over the next few days and into the weekend. Here’s a quick run-down of what’s on. (Spoiler alert: there’s a lot).

The action starts tomorrow evening at Tuam Stadium where the county’s U20 footballers face Galway in Round 2 of the Connacht Championship. Throw-in at St Jarlath’s Park is 5.30pm and the match is being streamed live by Spórt TG4 (where would we be without them?) on YouTube so, as usual, I’ll embed the live stream here on the blog for ease of viewing. The ticket link for the game is here.

Both counties have named their match day panels for tomorrow evening. Here they are: Mayo, Galway.

We’ll have a Final Whistle pod reviewing the game from Tuam for our Patreon club members tomorrow evening.

On Friday evening the county’s Minor football make their first appearance in this year’s Connacht Championship. They had a bye in last week’s opening round so their campaign gets underway with a Round 2 match against Leitrim.

This game is on at James Stephens Park, Ballina, where throw-in is 5.30pm. The ticket link for it (which is the same as the U20 game) is here. Connacht GAA are streaming the match live (€11.99 – link here).

We may have a Final Whistle pod on Patreon for that one as well but that’s not certain at this point in time.

Right, onto Saturday. Where does one start?

Let’s do so with the county’s hurlers whose NHL Division 3 final meeting with London takes place at Manguard Park, Hawkfield, Kildare (no – I never heard of it either), where throw-in that afternoon is 1.30pm. No ticket details appear to be available for that game at the minute.

The same afternoon the county’s women footballers are in action away to Waterford, a match Liam McHale’s team have to win to have any hope of avoiding relegation from Division One.

This match throws in at a Waterford venue on Saturday at 2.30pm but, as I write, where this will be has yet to be confirmed. There’s no ticket link to share either.

The LGFA’s website does, however, state that the game will be streamed live by – yes, you’ve guessed it – Spórt TG4 on YouTube and, assuming they do, then normal arrangements will also apply about embedding the live stream here on the blog.

The rugby, of course, also takes place on Saturday and I’m heading to Hastings Insurance MacHale Park myself for this novel fixture between Connacht and Munster. (I know, the fixture isn’t all that novel but the venue sure is).

Tickets sold out for this game a long time ago but we’ve got two tickets, courtesy of our super podcast partners EBS, to give away to one of our Patreon club members. The deadline for entering this competition is Thursday at 9pm and everyone who is a club member before then is eligible to enter. More on that here.

On Sunday there are two games involving teams from the county.

The first one is an All-Ireland U20B hurling Championship quarter-final against Tyrone. This Richie McElligott Cup fixture takes place at James Stephens Park where throw-in is 2.15pm. I’ve no ticket link for this one either.

Finally, our Allianz Football League Division One decider against Kerry takes place as part of a double-header at Croke Park that afternoon. The Division Three final between Kildare and Offaly throws in at 1.45pm and then our game, for which the winners will get possession of the newly-dedicated Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh Cup, gets underway at 4pm.

Meath’s David Coldrick was today confirmed as the ref for the Division One final. The match is live on TG4 and the ticket link for it is here.
