Westport United FC

[Thunderblaster]

Kick off is brought forward to 12:00. As I type, the team are on the bus heading south to beat the boys of Cork.

Checked the FAI Junior Cup thread, and the game is down for Silverheights.

[Shilts]

Love to hear the Wesport comments on 'Silverheights'. Worst pitch in Cork, maybe Ireland?

Worst in Ireland without a shadow of a doubt. I am surprised that they are allowed to play football on it. It is not even flat. :D

[littleman]

The U.14s are at home to Corrib Celtic in the Connacht Cup on Saturday at 2:00. A win will put them into the quarter final against Merville United of Sligo in the quarter final. Should be an interesting game.

And they won 5-0.

And won it we did. Cam, Lovejoy and Vinny banged in the goals to win 3-2 and thanks to the supporters that kept me updated.

We got notice during the week that Mayo are playing their Oscar Traynor game on the Saturday in Dublin. I presume that is why your game has been put back. Celtic are a young side with a few experienced players but they are not the power they were. They have lost 11 players this season to Galway utd, Sligo and Mervue. They will still give you a tough game.

He left for Longford. Dont know who starts that muck rumors

The Connacht U.14 Cup Quarter Final against Merville Utd fell foul to the weather yesterday. Westport now have to travel to Sligo.

[Thunderblaster]

Congrats to Hugo Feehan on winning the club lotto.

The U.14s are at home to Templeogue United in the SFAI Goodson Cup on Saturday afternoon at 2:00, while the Junior team are at home to St. Peter's of Athlone on Sunday at 2:00. Both massive games and it promises to be a great weekend.

will the sports park be able to hold the two games or are the u-14s going to be playing their home game elsewhere?

[Thunderblaster]

I think that there may be an executive call on the weekend fixtures. Milebush is on standby for both games. Templeogue are travelling tomorrow evening for their game. I cannot see the Sports Park taking the two games. If any game is likely to be moved, it will be the U.14 game.

[Thunderblaster]

He left for Longford. Dont know who starts that muck rumors

I would find that story somewhat more credible.

[Thunderblaster]

It is no secret that the officers were unhappy at the poor attendance. Not only the Mayo News ran an advert, I'm also aware that a lot of text messages were sent out to Westport United supporters before the meeting.

are ye confident for the u14 game? dont think templeogue would be a major force in dublin. our u13s at home to lourdes from dublin sat also. u12s away to letterkenny next week and u16s still dont no who they are playing in last 32. south west section 2 games behind

[Fr Damo]

Any word on the fixtures in relation to the weather, forecast ain't good.

weather is poor in mayo. rained all last night. i know that celtic park in castlebar is just about playable and it is a better pitch than the sports park in westport. cant imagine the sports park being great. i think westport have milebush pitch in castlebar on standby and that is an excellent surface which is playable in nearly any weather

[new blood]

what about the Iorras pitch will hold up after all this rain and if not have they a second pitch on stand by

[pinero]

Iorras pitch is playable has not rained as heavy in north mayo and better forecast for tomorrow.They have another pitch lined up in case it is not playable.

[new blood]

thanks

[hoop4life]

any news on where game will be played tomorrow?

[Thunderblaster]

Westport beat Templeogue 2-1 in the Sports Park. The St. Peters game is in Milebush.

[Cloggs]

Combination of injuries and lack of match practice. We needed the Cliffoney game really.

wasn't at the game, but from what i heard st peters were excellent, injuries? peters were at 10 men after 15 mins... i was at the last game in athlone, its justice after that game, but thats the joy of football. Westport are a credit to junior football, league of ireland sides wouldn't have the kind of support they have. I'm delighted for st peters and the league...

Best of luck in the remainder of the competition!!:ball::D

[Thunderblaster]

I have to say fair play and well done to Michael Gallagher for his excellent match report for the U.14 game on Saturday on the Western People today.

[Thunderblaster]

Westport United were beaten fair and square on the day. No complaints and no objections. The only objection would be to clubs giving us walkovers.

[Martinho II]

Come in from Castlebar, pass castlecourt on right, take the right before the bridge, next right, pass maxol and its the second road to the right after a graveyard. You will be going up a hill, 300 yards up the hill the ground is into the right.

Westport Sports Park

Kick Off @ 2:00

All are welcome for a great game of footie.

[pinero]

Why did westort play u14 game on their pitch on saturday and end up
having to play fai game in milebush surely all efforts should have been made to make sure fai game took place in westport gave big advantage away not playing in sportspark.

just assuming, but westport may have thought that milebush may have suited them better. they try and play good football and the sports park is quite narrow and bumpy while milebush is wide and has an excellent surface. as said, it was an excellent game of football by two good teams. having said that, after seeing carrick united playing last season, dont think that st peters have enough to win it but a home draw and a bit of luck, you would never know. have a fair bit of experience.

I think every effort was made for both games to go ahead in the Sports Park, which was the preferred option. Both games were as big in their own right; both were last 32 in Ireland. Just to make a point, Templeogue United came down on Friday in cars, so they could not afford to be messed about.

true. who did yer u14s get in the last 16? have ye any other youths left in sfai cups?

[pinero]

I would agree westport play best football in mayo league and like a wide pitch with good surface, but home is home and think ye might be sorry ye let this one get away.

[AlwaysAHoop]
