How did Ballyheane b get in there though.
Ballyheane B won div 3 last year so instead of playing with most of the teams they played against last year, they moved up to Div 1. i think its very fair, fahy b shouldn't be there anyhow, ok k+k utd had a case but there you go ...

why do they always have the soccer fixture clashing with GAA. Teams are always complaining about teams not traveling and not being able field a team but when most players play both with GAA as a preference what can they expect. First league game this weekend clashing with GAA its starting already why not play one sunday the other saturday

The reason is that super league games normaly has 3 officials so thats why Super league on Sunday and other divisions on Saturday, normaly they alternate every secound week, it would be impossible too fix fixtures too suit everyone.The GAA league fixtures for the lower divisions are set for Saturday because Mayo are playing the league final on Sunday. It would be great if the 2 associations could meet and ensure that they dont clash due too emigration affecting both codes but i can't see that ever happening.

Fair enough, but it seems a hard division for them.

Your dead right there !!!!!!
Just read about the Security Breach on the Mayo League website on the Connacht. Fairly serious if true. Aren't all the DOB, addresses etc stored for all underage and adult players stored on there?
I hope they contacted http://www.dataprotection.ie (http://www.dataprotection.ie/) within two days of become suspicious or they could be in serious trouble.
"Failure to comply with these obligations can result in a criminal prosecution with fines of up to €5,000 and on indictment €250,000 per offence." Doubt the Mayo League want that kind of bill on their hands.

Last year Roscommon and Mayo Over 35s played a 2 leg match (think roscommon won on penalties). Must be expanding it this year. Havent heard anything yet, as league is only starting.

Seems as though Sligo/Leitrim are entering the John Sherlock Memorial Cup, there was a squad announced in a local paper. Players have to be over 35 and registered to play with a Sligo/Leitrim junior soccer club....... not a huge pile of players to pick from

In the Mayo Lg. and Roscommon & District Lg. they have a Masters Over 35s League aswell. This allows a reprsentative side to be picked. Although it wouldnt be as competitive as the Oscar Traynor. Still worthwhile and an honour to play in.

and it should not clash with mayo league fixtures, no point making the lads who are still playing to decide, club or masters,

Acording to the Mayo league facebook page Newport was deducted 3 points,is this as a result of the contrversay with Castlebar Celtic preseason or is it something else. Where is Newport playing there home matches this season as we are meeting in the first round of the Conaught Gold Cup.

Bit disappointed with the squad, a lot of players missing that you would expect to be on it. Maybe they just would not commit to it. Strong midfield and up front though.

Sat 9th June @ 7pm in McSharry Park
Sligo/Leitrim v Mayo
How are ye fixed lads???
finished 2-0 to Sligo/Leitrim. Sligo started well and looked more composed on the ball and dominated for long spells, but half way through first half Mayo broke and hit the post and the striker at full stretch just couldnt convert the rebound. A minute later a glancing header from a corner also hit the post. Sligo got back on top from then on but didnt really create anything. a few minutes into the second half Sligo went 1-0 up and then 5 mins later went 2-0 from the penalty spot. Mayo were really pushing to get back into the game but Sligo held out.
enjoyable game

Thing are gone very quiet here!
Is Mayo soccer on a downward slope?
From what I hear, a lot of people are disillusioned with soccer in the county at present
* Lack of competiveness in leagues
* Inconsistency of Referees
* Increase in Fines issued to clubs
* Clubs struggling to survive financially.
Is this all down to the current economic climate and or is it an indication of the state of soccer in the country?

Things are quite on the Mayo forums except for Premier B,i dont know is it because it has been very competative all season.
* Other than the Super league most division are very competative that can go either way.
* Rferees are conistent except the wrong way, other than McGrath, McCay,English most of the Ref's are very poor.
* I dont know about clubs fines,it has always been a problem.
* Financhal problems of clubs would say is a problem for everyone and different clubs for all sporting orgaisations,especialy clubs in the Erris region where referees has a long distance to travel.Biggest problem for all clubs are numers due to emigration,lads working away.A couple of weeks ago there was a prominant club could not field a team,dont know how they have a B team,U18 team and a u17 team.Possible greater coperation with the GAA on fixtures as they are facing the same problems numbers wise.

Club Football Workshop
The Mayo Football League wishes to invite all Clubs to a “Club Football Workshop” on Thursday next 18th October 2012 in the Welcome Inn Hotel, Castlebar at 8.30pm.
Clubs are invited to send along the following representatives to the “Workshop”:
Club Official/Delegate (1)
Team Manager/Coach (1)
Team Captain/Players Rep (1)
It is the intention of the L.M.C. to commence this “Workshop” at 8.30pm sharp and finish at 10pm.
The main items for discussion are
(1)—Summer/Winter Football
(2)—8/10 team divisions
What do ye think about this, these workshops are a good idea, gives clubs a chance to have their say. The Mayo League must be thinking about the change back to Winter soccer. Hard to know if this would be a good idea but something needs to change as clubs seems to be struggling to field teams all around the county this season.
The Don
18/10/2012, 1:02 PM
I honestly dont know how switching back to a winter league is even up for discussion. 3/4 of the pitchs in the county are already unplayale and we are only in October. I was against the switch to 8 team divisions from the start but how can the league just turn around and mess all these teams around again just 2 seasons later.
Footy Mad
18/10/2012, 1:41 PM
Agree most pitches are not in a good way at the moment but it just makes you wonder how other leagues are still playing Winter soccer and only Mayo and I think Kildare playing Summer soccer.
With the 8 team divisions, I think they are a good idea for the Lower League but think the SuperLeague needs to have at least 10 teams in it. I think it was on trial for three seasons and just maybe the League want to see if the clubs think they are working. Could do without restructuring the League again for sure, think they would want to leave it for next season and at least clubs will know at the start of the season if things were going to change.

We had a night postponed for the Masters league on the astro turf last year from a waterlogged pitch !!!!!!. Most leagues struggle to play their games during the winter months with a glut of games played in the last month of the season. A season that sometimes goes from August to May or June.

I think you're missing my point. I've no problem with Tom, my question was how was he appointed to the position? Was he elected or just interviewed for it? ... its you who needs to practice their reading ability, if you did you would understand the point I was making.

Claremorris
Why have they no A team, is the Connaught league going to happen this summer?
few reasons from what i was told; players gone abroad,goin to other clubs,players just packing it in and i dont think they have a manager. something like that. nothing to do with Connaught league.
i think Conn Rangers have taken there place in the Super but nothing confirmed yet unless someone from Conn can verify???

I might sound harsh but i think the ML was right, itt sounds that Claremorris was just going to hae 1 team so thats the team in the SL, they could not have a B team without having a A team
