How do people see these matches going? I reckon the S+F V Ballina match will be a cracker and may go all the way to penalties. S+F will definitely give them a good game. In the other one I can't see any further than Snugboro. Maybe by two or three.

two good games, achill will be well up for it and you never no which way it can go on the day, the second game your right will be a cracker, two very good footballing sides that like to pass the ball around. it'll be tight.

your right, s&f there playin some great stuff, id like to see them get through to the final, after the season there having, they have some nice players down there. ballina tho are a good footballing side, but cup games can go either way. it'll be a chance for them to see how next season might go for them.

Ballina V Snugboro i'd say. S & F haven't came up against quality opposition yet and Ballina play quality opposition every week. That will be the difference...

ya that could be the deciding factor there. playing high quality teams every week would stand to ballina.

Did Ballina not just scrape by Fahy in this cup, needing extra time. And with S & F been streets ahead of Fahy i can see an upset in this Semi.

We were missing 7 players that night from the first 11 and probably 9 or 10 from the normal 16 squad so dont think you can draw any conclusions there.

I think Ballina have more quality than S & F, their also more physical and have as much if not more fire power. S & F still have alot to prove though so should be a good one!!

I think the semis of the Mayo cup dont have the four best teams in the county but thats cup football for ya ;) Fair play to Achill and S & F for managing to get there!

s+f have a good strong team , good all over the place, the night we played ballina we hadnt a great team out we worked really hard to keep it to 1all, but if they had a bit more luck they would have scored a few more, plus our keeper was very good, overall i would still expect ballina to win this one but they will need to play very well as s+f are on a roll.

Is it fair to every other team in the super league and to the mayo league that you have a team like claremorris unable to field a team.It is totally unfair on the teams up at the top of the league,westport get three points,ok its not their fault but what about the chasing pack....surely ballina,celtic or snugboro would love 3 points for doin nothin.They should be hit hard both financially and also give them a deduction effective from next season,as they are already more or less relagated from the super laegue

another great result last night for celtic against a lot older and more experienced ballina team. they could and probably should have won by more. stand in keeper that has been banging in the goals instead of stopping them for celtic for the last while!! some of thr young lads going to eircom league teams for the u-20 league, it's a shame celtic weren't allowed enter the league this year after a succesful year last year and would have the team that won the youth cup 2 years ago along with a few more quality players to add to the squad, including tom king!!!

Westport won 12-1 tonight. Nearly guaranteeing them the league. Only Celtic can catch them now to force a playoff but thats a 1000000/1 shot.
Celtic lost 4-2 to Erris.

In Truth you are right They are hit with a fine of €150 warned of there conduct should they fail the next time they face being expelled and there players suspended, and €300 fine .
However that's little consequences to the other teams chasing Westport.
Thou I do think they should be hit with a three point deduction for every game they failed to play in there next season.

Thats a load of Bull....,The Mayo league did nothing to Joey Mr Renovater and you know that 100%,so dont try to blame them for Joey leaving.Can you explain to me as to why he signed for you first and then decided to join Athlone.Ill let you tell the 100% Truth to everyone here.Please dont be blaming someone for your own misgivings.
Don't no where you are coming from? M.l Suspended him for 3 matches for failing to play for Mayo, He thought this was harsh not me. Secondly I didn't sign him in the first place. So at leased get ur facts right, before you come shouting the odds

Sat 23rd Aug -Bangor 1 Westport 12...looks like they didn't have to work too hard here either...and both celtic and ballina dropped points earlier in season in Bangor......is it difficult for teams struggling to get lads back after the summer break????

I think it has more to do with the fact that they are safe and could not be bothered trying, it was a joke up there in fairness, everyone was taking shots from all angles to see who could get the best goal. Our keeper even took a penalty.

Just wondering what the story is with the the proposed playoff for the team that finishes 3rd from bottom in the super league?

I assumed the idea behind this proposal was to discourage teams that are safe from relegation from fielding weakened teams during the run in.

Couple of silly results in the Super League in recent weeks.
Does anyone know if this playoff will be played?

Bangor are still in danger of being involved in the relegation play-off. It will either be Erris or Bangor and if Erris defeat Bangor on Saturday it will definitely be Bangor so I'm sure they must have been trying.

I don't no if you have notice, there was two circus in town. lets not make a circus out of the super league,where more than lightly end up playing a team who would finish 4th or 5th or even play a team who couldn,t take there place. Should the super league team lose in play off, the team below the play off place could end up in the super league. Lets leave the clowns in the circus.it should be two up two down, if a club can't take there place only one should be promoted.

With the 3rd from bottom Bangor losing 22 goals in 2 games, and the performance of Claremorris and Ballinrobe this year in the super you should be glad that their replaced by 2 or 3 new teams!! I would even fancy the likes of Crossmolina to give Bangor a beating and get the 3rd promotion place by playoff...but according to you the super league teams are too strong so bangor should hammer Crossmolina or whoever?!

ya scahill and gavin prob are the best centre mids but from watching gaughan play he's a quality player, he has strenght and can give a quality pass. he has played well beside alan mcdonnell all year. would think that DK's mind would have been changed from watching the semi final on sunday. in my opinion i think he's be well able for the mayo side, himself and paul fitzpatrick.

Gerry Gaughan is considerably younger than both stevie.g and danny scahill and has shown form already to even be mentioned by ye guys and others around the mayo circle to make the mayo oscar trainor team, that shows how good of a player he is, he's strong,skillfull and very athelitc...
