cup final sunday 20th july.

fahy vs S&F

How do ye think this will go?

Mark it down........S&F at least three nil....Everything bout that game is in there favour most of all big pitch for a great footballing team..

[irishyop]

Not too many mystic megs here ;)

Celtic 1 - S&F 0

Sublime finish by Shane Smyth after some great battling by Fintan McHale gave Celtic a precious win and really throws the league wide open.
S&F had 2 or 3 very good chances but came up against some brilliant keeping from Padraig Crean and equally top notch defending by Keith Hopkins and Wesley Hurst who put their bodies on the line. Celtic lost Adrian O'Brien to injury in the first 1/2 and also lost Noel Marney who had to go A&E but should a lot of balls when they had to.

Celtic are still 6 points behind but have a game in hand and with S&F having their last 3 games away the title could be on its way back to Celtic Park :)
But still a long way to go yet. The management had every reason to get excited tonite with the victory, ablily backed up by a very good crowd, even though I think 1/2 of Ballyheane seem to have taken a wrong turn ;)
Go on the Celts.

both sets of players deserve huge credit for a a game full of passion and excitment. wasnt for the faint hearted thats for sure sheer desire passion and will to win got us the 3 points however i think s&f deserved a point but when defenders put their body on the line like ours did clean sheets are always a possibility

[theboy]

1 nil to cetlic B, good result for them, went to watch this game to see wot both teams were like, to be honest lads s&f should have won the game 3-1, celtic had 1 clear chance and they took it, a big high ball put into the box and a mix up between keeper and one of s&f backs, celtic stricker got in a finished. thats the only clear chance celtic had all nite, s&f had 3 chances inside the 6 yeard box with 10min left only for some good saves. a draw would have been a good result but i think s&f deserved it more.

to say the title is on the way back to celtic lads is a bit out there.. its still s&f's to lose and i think last nites loss will drive them on even harder now. celtic B have a game in hand alrite but games in hand's mean nothin. celtic have to win all there remaining games while s&f still have to lose 1 or 2 more and i cant see that happening.

interesting times ahead but still have to say s&f well win the league and celtic in 2nd.

agree with you its still s&f's to loose but when you consider we were without 5 players who would have definately started then the celtic squad deserve huge credit.fallon torpey drevins mcgurrin and kirby were all with the A squad.it all depends on how s&f react to this loss, havin spoken to a few of them i think it will only galvanise them for rest of season.it keeps it interesting if nothing else!!!!!!!!!!

Kilmore Straide & Foxford

[theboy]

by looking at the last 4 games, s&f have slightly the best one, even tho there away that shouldnt put them off.

[GoodFootball]

Urlar 1 - 2 Fahy

Hard game, a bit of confusion in the backline when one of the fahy lads was seemingly fouled gifted Urlar an early goal.

Fahy controlled the game from then on, should have been out of sight by half time had the finishing been a bit better. Second half Fahy dominated again and were determined to get back and did so with a good back post finish from Joe Keane, mins later Fadden was fouled in the box and gary goggins put away the penalty.

Hard fought win in Urlar but deserved. Urlar have a couple of good players...NERO is very fast and skillful on the wing!

Any other results?

Over analysis I think :D

We're not taking anything for granted anymore, every game from here on in is going to be tough...

Celtic B could lose to us, Westport B, Manulla B and Crossmolina without being too much of a surprise. Good win against S & F though ;)

[theboy]

Urlaur United 1 - 2 Fahy Rovers
Manulla B 4 - 2 Kilmore
Castlebar Celtic B 1 - 0 s&f
Glenhest Rovers 1 - 1
Crossmolina 1 - 1

[pool 7]

Was at the celtic v s&f game,credit to both teams for a good game..Celtic got one chance and took it.S & F should have scored 2 or 3 but with poor finishing and great goalkeeping they didnt score.Celtic keeper was man of the match.S&F still look the best football team.some exciting weeks ahead!!!!

ya it was a good game alrite, think from watchin this game, they are the best 2 teams in the league. dont think either team will face tougher teams in the league, but fahy seem to be a banana skin for celtic this year.. celtic's game in hand against manulla b will be huge for celtic, when is this to be played??

[Bandit]

Glenhest 1 Swinford 1..

Did not travel to the game but by all reports it was a tough game and in the end we were lucky to come away with a point,some brilliant goalkeeping from Shane Holleran saved us in the end by all accounts.
Should have scored more goals as well sloppy finishing again i think.
Big one next weekend Manulla B at home should be a cracker...

[pool 7]

they are the two best teams..Celtic game in hand could be played the weekend of cup final...

[The Don]

If s&f win next weekend and swinford lose, wont s&f be promoted. Earliest promotion I can ever recall.

its hard to call.realistically all premier teams could well go out at this juncture.i can see s and f maybe causing somewhat of an upset by beating erris but the fact that they were beaten last weekend and its down in erris will go against them.so i'm going to go for erris.urlar will get beaten pretty comprehensively by snugboro i'd say.glenhest might beat ballyglass as its in glenhest.celtics first team should beat westport b easily enough and as for ourselves against ballina.i'd have to say that ballina should win but you never know!i'd have to go with my heart and say a fahy win!!!so fahy and glenhest the only teams to progress to the next round!;)

Glenhest should advance, Urlaur, Westport B will be making an exit as will Fahy!!! Id like to see S n F go through, this game will test them and give an indicaton if they really are going to make an impact on the super league next year!!! Erris, despite their win at the weekend are well below par this year......It wouldn't be an upset if Snf go through!!!

[Whipitin]

Any predictions whos name will be going on the cup this year???? Has the quarter final draw been made or is it open draw from here on????

[pool 7]

dont know about the draws but celtic,or ballina must be favourites.... Good outside bet would be S&F!!!!

[GoodFootball]

Fahy may well cause Ballina problems but after thumping Westport 4-0 Ballina could be on song, S & F to go through, Glenhest to go through, Celtic to go through...

Should be interesting!!!

Is it not the erris b team that's playing?

[Kilmore Fan]

kilmore fan u've been very quite on this since the 9-0 beaten by s&f and again last nite in the cup.. how's all down there? do ye think ye'll stay up this year?


Hiya! Havn't been on too much lately! There were many reasons for the score lines. 9-0 game we were missing6 first team including the keeper. as for the 3-0 we deserved a better score line on the day. messy goals! ref wasn't great. didn't allow much play. we had them played off the pitch in the first 15 - 20 min just didn't convert... that's how it goes I guess.
It was a good game v's manulla at d weekend. We so deserved at least a point out of it. Amazing how when the B teams are losing they bring on these super subs....... One of our guys was taken away in an ambulance that day so not good.
As for staying up we are remaining hopeful, we have alot of home games left. we've had a really tough season with injuries. We have some really dedicated players so we can deffinately pull through.

I think you know S'nF lost at the weekend pool 7.. As gutted as i am about the result theres no time to dwell on a game that we deserved something from, if you read the reports on the Western or Mayo News a win is what we deserved, not taking anything away from Celtic there 1 shot on goal in second half decided a blockbuster of a game, Erris on thursday night then Westport b on Sunday... onwards and upwards :D

[pool 7]

Robben 11 it was No,7 that was looking for you, not me pool7!!! but let me say yes ye should have won the game at the weekend.Its all about putting the ball in the net,another day ye could have had 3 or 4??? Keep the heads up, s&f are one of the best teams in the prem.Big game thursday!!!

Aye it was close for sure Robben11, you did not do too bad yourself, not sure though about the orange jersey, ye were like a bunch of OrangeMen at Drumcree on July 12th ;)

I did hear in fairness that you lot were very gracious in defeat, but that you sat in the centre circle in protest for an hour after the game ;) Only kidding :p

[robben 11]

whats the form like in the S&F camp this week after yer first defeat!!! Have the heads dropped a little.

no camp exact same training very enjoyable as always, idont see the need of our heads to drop i thought our performance against Celtic was very good even when we conceeded the goal we created 2-3 more chances.. we just didnt get the rub of the green on the day...' twas one of those games'...

any results from last nites games lads??

[GoodFootball]

Ballina Town 2-1 Fahy AET

Fahy missing a good few but played well by all accounts. Was not at the game..

[pool 7]

Erris 3-3 S&F AET S&F win on pen 3-2.
What i heard erris went 2 goals up,s&f came back to 2-2 full time.S&F went 3-2 up in second half of extra time, then erris scored last kick of game to make it 3-3.Pens 3-2 to s&f.....Sounds like it was a great game!!!!!!Was any one at it......

[pool 7]

Celtic 1-0 Westport b.Only got the last few mins of game.Westport seemed to be up for it....

[theboy]

Round 4 to be played Thursday the 17th of july. I'd say the draw will be down this weekend.

some good games last nite by the sounds of things, fair play to s&f for goin down to erris and gettin a result, not easily done. manulla seemed to have an off nite 3 nil loss. its lookin good for a super league team to win it out, unless 2 of them draw each other in the next round!!!!
