Sadness shrouds Castlebar and Knockmore

Over the past few days many great people have passed from this life. They have left behind them great memories and wonderful achievements and two of them in particular, left a lasting impression on this scribe.  more >

Wet toes and a teetering trailer

THOSE who say that sports journalists have a glamorous job should have been standing in my wet shoes last Wednesday night in Bekan as the rest of humanity relaxed in their nice warm homesteads.  more >

Chasing the dream, fulfilling the fantasy

IT’S fair to say that one has to be a dreamer to spend one’s working life immersed in Mayo sporting life. Here in the sports department of the Western People we see the ups and downs, the glory and disappointment all the way from the local parish leagues to the international stage.  more >

The pride of Mayo, the pride of Ireland

THERE never has been a team like Carnacon and it’s fair to say that there never will be another team like Carnacon.  more >

The man with the dashing smile has slipped away

SOME of us suddenly got old last week. The last, lingering vestiges of youthful innocence slipped away from a group of us in West Mayo last Wednesday, as dawn broke over the land and heartbreaking news seeped out of Belcarra.  more >

An Ardnaree man on the world stage

BOXING, the sport of warriors, heroes and dreamers never fails to entrance me.  more >

The Dubs, blushing blondes and old buddies

WASN’T it wonderful to see the unconfined joy of the Dublin team after Sunday’s All-Ireland final!  more >

Sick with motion confuses the ladies

ALCOHOL and sport don’t mix. No matter how good one is, the intake of alcohol has a negative impact on performance. I should know, I tried it as a young fella and now I regret that stupidity every day of my life.  more >

The Kerry greyhound and Annie from Longford

IT WAS last Tuesday morning when Tony from Kerry texted me looking for a date.  more >

An upset? Huh, who’s upset?

PUZZLED about what took place at Croke Park last Sunday and just how Mayo managed to pull off one of the great championship shocks?  more >

Time to make memories again

I can dream of the old days,
Life was beautiful then,
I remember the time when I knew what happiness was,
Let the memory live again.
  more >

Time for real Mayo fans to step forward

ARE you really a Mayo supporter or a fair-weather fan – a glory-hunter? It may seem like an easy question to answer, but I beg to differ.  more >

Pampered professionals are pathetic

IF I could afford an anger management therapist I’d certainly have availed of their services this week on a 24/7 basis.  more >

Lennon’s attackers are racists

ONE of the most treasured pictures I have in my home features my good friends, Anthony Hennigan and Liam Henry and myself alongside Neil Lennon.  more >

The loss of a shining star

IT WAS just like any other Friday afternoon. Here in the sports department we were contemplating yet another working weekend while normal people were looking forward to leisure, lawns and The Late Late, when my office phone buzzed into life.  more >

Find me a job Find me a car Find me a date Find me a home to buy Find me a home to let
