Late on Wednesday night, as the rest of Ireland surrendered to darkness, in Erris, daylight lingered. It felt as though the sun itself was reluctant to set. Behind us lay Blacksod, the deserted islands of Inishkea, Inishglora and Duvillaun, a coastline that had given so much, and taken in equal measure. Somewhere in the gathering darkness the roads that had carried generations of Mayo people away, and the roads that, for one remarkable week, carried them all home again irishexaminer.com/news/spotl…

A piece I never thought I'd get to write: Mayo is not a place, but a state of mind. And if Sunday proved anything, it's that it was never just about football. In todays @ExaminerSport irishexaminer.com/sport-colu…

After 75 years of longing, Mayo's triumph was a collective exhale for the generations gone who never knew an All-Ireland victory of their own

Good evening, gang! I have once again compiled a thread of little bits from 2022 that I found funny, heartwarming, inspiring or just plain silly. It can be tough out there so sit back, relax and hopefully something in this thread might make you smile! Let’s go! 💕

‘The hurling club was growing. The village was falling apart’ Spent some time with @TooreenHurlers irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/…
‘The hurling club was growing. The village was falling apart’: In Mayo hurling heartland

‘The hurling club was growing. The village was falling apart’: In Mayo hurling heartland

When they say Tooreen came from nothing, it's not hyperbole. Now it's bigger than the tiny village that houses a special passion. And they're one game away from their field of dreams.
