Its going to be a tough league ... especially with 4 going down this year :)

[pixiehead]

:soldier: should be a battle alright
What about the Div 3 or the "Ballina League" :bashed:

[MayoLeague5]

Heard Charlestown and glenhest pulling out of league..which only leaves 8..

[murphs jewels]

Afraid not charlestown have already played 2 friendlies and have more people signed up than last year.

[sinabhuil]

Legally signed this year!!!

[murphs jewels]

Thats for ye all to find out...

[pixiehead]

Its Glenisland i hear have no numbers:dunno:

[swinfordfc]

Lads,

Lets cuts the crap out away now ok - its a shame if its true about Glenisland - they were always tough matches against - tough but fair

Can anyone confirm it one way or the other?

[purplemonkeydis]

[MayoLeague5]

[yellowmonkey]

hey murphs jewels, you know we will always be on the look out for your cheating ways

Brilliant :mean:

[MayoLeague5]

Glenhest are gone from this league...not sure about other teams..

[minivan man]

anyone play any friendies yet? is that definate about glenhest? heard glenisland and ballyheane b struggling too.

[MayoLeague5]

Certain about Glenhest..Charlestown bet swinford 3-1 at weekend and westport c play mulranny this weekend..

[Back n the game]

Glenhest and Glenisland have withdrawn from the division.....could be a shambles of a season before it starts

No only Glenisland are gone .....

[Back n the game]

No only Glenisland are gone .....

Glenhest under severe pressure to get team entered too by all reports and no 100% of inclusion for 2010 season

[MayoLeague5]

Ya heard that also.. would be a disapointment to only have 8 teams in this league.. and who is to say more teams wont drop out?

Why is this trend happening this year?? seems espically bad around Castlebar, i.e Glenhest, Glenisland, Snugboro b, Castlebar town. Thought with work so slack and people at a loose end that there would be guys queing up to play some footie and get out and about.

Where are Cross playing their home games this year?? Are ye still in Headford??

[NoelM]

Yes, they are playing on the main pitch in Headford, will be up to watch!

[murphs jewels]

Cross 0 -2 Charlestown.

Very tough 1st game for both sides, Cross very hard to break down and very unlucky to loose 2 players to injury early on. Charlestown had best chances and scoreline could have bee much worse for Cross if the away side had taken their chances but goals in either half decided this tie. Long way to go and both sides will improve but Charlestown will feel happy with their performance over all and hope to push on from here, espically as Cross would be genuine promotion contenders.

[gaffers gaffer]

great start for charlestown any other results from yesturday?

[sinabhuil]

Tough game. Ctown def the better team. Very good players on the wings and rock solid in the centre of defence. Cross had some chances and could have scored early in the 2nd half. Saying that Ctown missed some sitters as well. Game played at a very intense pace. Ctown seemed to have a few issues in communication between their goalie and the defenders. I would suggest they need to work these problems out. Great that the season has started again!!

[Back n the game]

Cross 0 - 2 Charlestown

Ballyvary B B 2 - 0 Swinford 'B'

Glenhest p - p S & F 'B'

Ballyheane 'B' 1 - 3 Claremorris 'B'

Glenisland Void Westport 'C'

Going to be a tough division again this year. Shame about Glenisland pulling out but best of luck to all teams involved. Good away wins for Charlestown and Claremorris. Every team is capable of beating each other on any given day. Dont think there is much between the premier, 1st and 2nd division to be honest. Any opinions on who's favourites to go up/down this season?

[purplemonkeydis]

charlestown and claremorris will be hard stopped

[gaffers gaffer]

Any predictions for the comming weekend lads ?

[murphs jewels]

Claremorris b v Swinford b home

S & F b v Ballyvary B B draw

Westport c v Glenhest home

Ballyheane b v Cross Celtic away

[Thunderblaster]

Ctown seemed to have a few issues in communication between their goalie and the defenders. I would suggest they need to work these problems out.

I never knew that the goalkeeper spoke Kiswahili, the right back speaking Polish, the right centre half spoke Hebrew, the left centre half only spoke Bantu and the left back speaking Greek!! :D

[Thunderblaster]

hey murphs jewels, you know we will always be on the look out for your cheating ways

Charlestown are a refreshingly honest salt of the earth side and as a neutral forumite, I would strongly favour C'town to win the league this year?? I hear they had some impressive pre-season friendlies in which they came out on top, bar one!! Anyone concur to this post?? Sorry Westport C!!

[sinabhuil]

Very good players on the wings and rock solid in the centre of defence.

I understand that the central defenders may have been tested in the first half. I only seen 10 minutes of the first half. = so they are strong but have a few weaknesses. BTW who was the number 10 - pretty decent player well capable of playing at a higher level - he will be even better when he gets a bit fitter.

[taztkblue]

you've been watching too many westport games. 'salt of the earth side' - stop talking crap! their an division two team who have underachieved for years who show little if any honestity to themselves or the club and if you stay with them for 30 mins then more than likely you'll beat them.

Bring it on........ is that why we got to the semi-final of the mayo cup last year :confused:

[Back n the game]

Is it true that this division is now considered a 9 team division? That means teams will not get points for fixtures against Glenisland, unlike last year when Ballina Town B withdrew teams were awarded a 3-0 win and 3 points?

Predicitions on this weekend lads?

Cross V Claremorris B - Draw.

Cross Celtic are in transition at the moment, they lost 8-9 players from last year including 3 strikers as well as the management team. They are slowly building a new squad and have great numbers at training, as the new players bed in things should improve. Claremorris B are always strong and games between these two teams are never boring!!

yeah noel always a good game between ye and us, not going to be a nil all draw i'd say

[murphs jewels]

Glenest 2 v 4 Charlestown Athletic

Very tough physical game. Charlestown much better side and deserved the 3 points. Glenhest will take a lot of beating and other sides will drop points against them. Large squad to pick from judging on the numbers togged out but feel they might struggle with numbers on GAA days :confused:. 1 player with serious attitude problem and could cost them in the long run due to his unsportsmanship conduct.
2-2 at half time with Charlestown having led twice in the 1st half but conceded 2 very sloppy goals. Put the foot down in the 2nd half and 2 goals inside 15 minutes of the restart finished the game. Good start to the league by all accounts with 2 difficult away games put to bed.

[Thunderblaster]

Charlestown U.16s had a super win over Corofin on Saturday. Fully deserved it and the very best of luck to them in the final!!

[gaffers gaffer]

not shy of self praise are you. you know what they say about that dont you?
