Mayo Association Football League

[The Don]

you mean this year?

This year then!

[Back n the game]

Yip 10 team's it is. The comedy continues with the mob running the ML. Reversal of the farce a couple of years ago. 1 Division will have 6 teams promoted now.

[The Don]

Farce it is, but should never gone to 8 team divisions in the first place. The arguments in favour were thin at best and hidden agendas were obvious at the time.

[Boro86]

Any pre season started yet? Are you involved Don this year with anyone? How are teams doing with players?

[The Don]

Preseason starts this week. Still with Partry. Heard Clew Bay were finding it difficult to make a team, hopefully only rumours hate to see any club struggling for players.

[Back n the game]

Lots of team's still involved in external competition. Season never ends for some, so I guess pre season doesn't really come into play. Heard that a few clubs were struggling to get squads together ... sign of the times I'm afraid

[pixiehead]

Four Mayo Players now signed for GFC. The latest is Marty Owens former Charlestown Player! http://galwayfc.ie/index.php/dunne-adds-six-squad/ Maroooooon Army!!!!!!!!!!!

Ya that looks right joe.... Heard rumours some teams under pressure but that's a sign a the times hopefully we might even get a few extra....best of luck to Westport Sunday going to have some battle on their hands

[The Don]

Any word on divisions yet.

[F00tymad]

Thought I might try this platform to see if there is anybody out there that may be interested in managing a Premier Division club in Mayo for the forthcoming season? Or even know somebody that may be interested? The club is currently looking for a gaffer for the first team. Looks like there isnt too many interested these day unless there is a rich Sheik or an Oil tycoon at the helm.

Prem A or B. North, South, East or West.

[F00tymad]

Well with the restructuring of the leagues going on we are unsure but most likely Prem A. North.

[Ranger]

How are teams sorted for managers and players this year?
I'd say a lot of teams will struggle to field strong teams compared to previous seasons.
Westport have an aging team and don't have much coming through.
Likewise with castlebar - a lot of their good young players have gone elsewhere albeit to a higher level. They might get a few from ballyheane & snugboro.
Ballina should be ok, and see them and erris as contenders for the title.
This year might be too soon for Manulla and their youngsters. Will be interesting to see if they can hold onto their 'imports' and progress them through to Junior football.
I can see charlesstown and fahy being the surprise packets this year.

[swinfordfc]

Will Manulla be in the super league next year? .... rumour has it ....

Come on swinford, spill the beans ! Surely they will or are you saying they are dropping down a division?

[swinfordfc]

No .. rumour has it there's interested in going into the Connacht Senior League this year if it goes ahead .... so will they b team play in the super league this year?

[Ranger]

that's interesting, seeing as they've struggled for the past few seasons in Mayo. Maybe they have a few more older players lined up to conpliment the younger lads.

[badker]

would they be stong enough or be able to afford all the expenses associated with senior lg?

[Ranger]

I may be totally off the mark but as the FAI instigated the return of the CSL as a sweetener to allow Galway FC back into the Eircom League, I'd guess there is some 'incentives' available to entice clubs to participate.

[Conn hawk]

Anyone interested in winning a few euro in a soccer last man standing competition, tenner entry http://www.runlastman.com/competitions/111-conn-rangers-conn-rangers-last-man-standing

[CCFC1924]

Have heard whispers too on another forum about a Limerick team entering the CSL. Would be great to see it up and running and fair play to Manulla if true.

[minivan man]
