It was Sigerson Cup last weekend so senior inter-county football teams had an opportunity to regroup and conduct a ‘where are we now’ review of their opening two games of the National Football League. In Mayo’s case the review might have involved the use of a ‘head doctor’ in order to establish how the team can mix the brilliance of the extraordinary second half comeback against Donegal, with the ordinariness of their performance in the first half.
Getting back to the Sigerson Cup last weekend, Cork IT won the competition. As they were the hosts of the final weekend it was appropriate that they should win it. Dublin Institute of Technology provided the opposition in the final on Saturday, a team that would have had Barry Moran lining out were it not for injury. His non-availability, coupled with the absence of Mark Vaughan from their ranks, may have been the difference between winning and losing. Kevin Mc Loughlin from Knockmore did line out however with DIT and from what I hear he played very well throughout. I have always been a fan of this competition as I firmly believe players who play and train with their colleges are normally exposed to good quality coaches and are better players because of it.

Fri, Mar 06, 2009
Mayo and Westmeath come face to face this Sunday in Fr O’Hara Park Charlestown in a game that both sides badly need to get something out of. Westmeath are point-less after their two disappointing defeats to Galway and Derry and a hat-trick of losses would leave them staring down the barrel of relegation to division two. A massive concern, too, for them is that they are minus 19 in the division scoring charts which indicates some major problems at the back for a side that prided themselves on being tight as a drum last season.
The Midlanders face Tyrone and Kerry in their up-coming fixtures in round three and four and you don’t want to be facing those two teams with any confidence deficit.

After a hiatus of a couple of weeks it is back to the cut and thrust of the National Football League for John O’Mahony and his charges this Sunday. Westmeath are making the trip to Charlestown for the all ticket encounter which has been limited to a capacity of 3,000 as Mayo continue to play their games away from McHale Park as redevelopment works continue apace in the Castlebar ground.

O’Mahony happy with two points, but tougher tests await
Fri, Mar 06, 2009
“It’s off the mark, it wasn’t spectacular, it’s a win at the end of a difficult week with all the injuries and uncertainty.” John O’Mahony cut a happy figure outside the Mayo dressing room on Sunday after he watched his side see off Westmeath with ease. The two points on the board was the most important thing on an afternoon where conditions dictated that the game would never move above the mediocre in quality for long periods. Mayo were struck with a number of injuries going into the game and O’Mahony is confident most will be back in the reckoning by the time Mayo make the trip to Kerry this weekend. “I’d hope they would, Ger Cafferkey it’s not a serious injury but we didn’t want to take any chances, Pat Harte would have been OK to go in there, but we decided to hold him so we could get another week’s training into him. Barry Moran’s injury was a bad hamstring pull and it could be a long one. Billy Joe Padden, maybe he’ll be back, it was a very bad dead leg he got in the challenge match last week, at least we have another week to buy with them and see. Alan Dillon will be fine, he could have almost started but the extra week will do him good.”
