are ye certain yer club will be allowed into super league without yer own facilities.id hate to see ye denied but i had a conversation with a mayo league official recently and this subject came up he didnt think your promotion would be santioned by the gods of our game. if ye get automatic promotion i seriously hope this doesnt become an issue. any word on when your swinford game will be played

[FahyForever]

We have an application in for a grant for the development of a pitch in Fahy with dressing room and the works. And a few quid in the bank. I think that should be taken into consideration. It's not as if we're sitting on our laurels. Also, I don't really see why Milebush is valid for the other three divisions and not one. I know it could be an issue but I'm not sure if making an example of us is justifiable, especially considering we are making inroads into becoming autonomous. If the argument is that we would have an advantage over other teams it's just nonsense, we often play Westport B at their place instead of at home, as we'd prefer to play on grass.

This is obviously a biased opinion but I would like to hear other people's opinions on why we should be excluded, or maybe why we should. Of course I'm not presuming we'll be promoted, it's just hypothetical...

For us to get there and not be allowed to play in the super league will be a huge disappointment. I think the Mayo League will try to accomodate us somehow. As FF said we are trying to get the facilities and we are a small club, so maybe pitch sharing with another club or something like that will enable us to play in the super. Thats IF we qualify to do so ;)

Swinford v Fahy game on Sat @ 6.60pm

5.90pm I think :D

[Norm]

In fairness to the Mayo League it is not a million years since we used to spend sunday mornings togging out under trees and in the back of cars.

The standards have risen considerably in recent years due to the joint efforts of the M.L, participating clubs and their comittees.
The M.L set standards for what they consider to be acceptable facilities and I for one think that an astro turf is not suitable for super league football.
A line had to be drawn and credit the M.L they gave us (Fahy) the oppertunity to play there whilst we worked on getting our house in order.
It has always been quite clear that should we progress to the Super League we will need to find a grass field.
If Fahy gain promotion then I am sure we will find a suitable solution.

Swinford 1 Fahy Rovers 2...

Good game played in bad conditions for both teams.2 goals for fahy both questionable offsides but not given and a certain penalty not given to Swinford deep into injury time ( Nothing new there )..Swinford were missing 7 first team players so they can be proud of their preformance..
Its going to be a tight finish now...

[Cloggs]

swinford 1 fahy 2
first time that we've ever beaten swinford away.overall i thought that it was a fully deserved win for us despite swinfords appeals for a penalty at the death.the ref banned all slide tackles during the game in the wet and hazardous conditions which in hindsight was a very good decision as the tackles were flying in from both sides.another few points would be brilliant for us to try and get into the super league for next year.fingers crossed!

[Cloggs]

congrats to s and f in beating ballina in the semi-finals of the mayo cup this afternoon.they did brilliantly to come back from two goals down with gerry gaughan running the show from midfield,fitzy playing excellently upfront and both reape and costello were superd at the back.all four surely in with a shout of making the mayo squad at the very least.

Fully deserved win, ye should have had a penalty for that one alright, but we missed 4 or 5 easy one on ones with the keeper. We also were missing 6 or 7 first teamers so happy enough to take all 3 pts there.

3 pts guarentees us promotion to the super league, be nice to beat celtic B, get promoted and close the gap next week...

What happened celtic b against manulla b?

[theboy]

congrats to s&f yesterday, they played very well, to come back from 2-0 down shows the quality in there side, they looked like to wanted it for the full 90min. they pulled it back to 2-2 for half time, great goals from paul fitz and gerry gaughan. second half s&f took over, 2more great goals from fitz and gaughan. s&f fully deserve all they got this year, a big well done must go to there players and management.
fitz, gaughan, craig reape, mick costello and captain alan mcdonnell all having great performances yesterday.
well done s&f.

Do ye ever have a full team out. Ye always seem to be missing 6 or 7 full teamers. Ye must have some squad of players.

Yesterday we had 12 players available, our sub keeper played up front! We were missing Feehan, 2 Keanes, O'Donnell, McNally, Sheridan and Mick Goggins = 7...on a normal day any of these or all of these could start without any surprise!

We have a good squad this year when all available...unfortunately with weddings, stags etc we haven't had our full squad available for all games this season

Not making any excuses, just answering the concerns of no.7 and theBoy :D

Also congrats to s&f for winning the league with 3 games remaining, celtic dropping points to manula confirms that s&f cant be caught.
great season for ye lads well done.

I know everyone seen it coming but I still find it shocking that Kilmore, despite being in the relegation zone, are playing Crossmolina next week in a promotion/relegation/relegation/promotion/playoff/playoff match next week. the mind boggles

Mayo's Finest

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Lads.

I was just wondering, who are the best players in the Mayo league?

is there not another thread for that somewhere on the junior league forum?give that a go as i think a fair few lads have already posted opinions on who are mayo's finest already.

[GoodFootball]

CELTIC 2-0 MANULLA. are ye still on the way?;)

Could happen... ;)

We have ye this weekend, always love playing against Celtic in 3 pts park :D

Should be a good one, last time around there was some good football played...

[mayo-man]

Lads, just looking over the remaining fixtures for the 3rd place play-off and it still could go anyway. All 4 teams in contention have to play 2 of the teams going for the play-off place.

Crossmolina have Kilmore & Swinford
Urlaur have Kilmore & Swinford
Swinford have Crossmolina & Urlaur
Klilmore have Crossmolina & Urlaur

Should make for some interseting game's.

Does anyone know is the play-off definitely going ahead?

Crossmolina are the strongest of whats there, I expect them to take the playoff place but Urlar have a fighting chance too.

The playoff should be going ahead otherwise there will be uproar, its official as far as I know...

28th is correct my appologies


Yes robben you should know better!! hope your not working monday ;)

[Cloggs]

28th is correct my appologies

no bother!were you playing yourself the last day against ballina.thought it might have been you that was up and down the right wing behind hughes?
on another note,now that yee have won the league do you think that yee will be giving the fringe lads that have been training all year a game in the final few games?and if so will that mean that yee will be taking the foot off the pedal a little,giving teams a chance of beating yee?not suggesting that yee would let teams just wondering?

yes that was me playing right back, behind hughes great man to have in front of ya! no theres no chance of taking foot of pedals at all its gonna run nice for us preperation wise our last game against kilmore is week before chadwicks final and we should be well prepared and hopefully with no injures, doubt the manager would change too much its nice to keep the flow of winning going and playing well as a starting 11 like we have done all season, if you change too much it would upset rythem and if we got beat confidence might dip slightly so id say you need not to worry cloggs!

We beat Crossmolina 2-1 today. Should have beaten them by alot more but their keeper played a blinder and made some excellent saves. Credit where credit is due. Things are still very open!!!!!

[celtic92]

any results for today? whats the story with the promotion/relegation/playoff places?it sounds like a joke

[GoodFootball]

Fahy 0 - 2 Celtic B

Good football played by both sides, celtic got early goal and then sat on it. We were gulity of missing a sh*t load of chances, including myself!! Celtic sneeked one in at the end.

Always hard to take when you play well and lose but thats life!! Automatic spot between us and Urlar now (who beat Glenhest 4-1 yesterday). They have to take maximum points and hope that we draw and lose our last 2 games.

In other games, Westport drew with Swinford, Cross lost to Kilmore and dont know about S & F and Manulla?

[Kilmore Fan]

S&F beat Manulla. All the results can be found on aertel http://www.rte.ie/aertel/ on page 440.

Well done to S&F on claiming the Premier Title and on a convincing win on the day the received the cup.

[No. 7]

I doubt it, do you not have to be 16 to play Junior soccer. If its the same lad he is either underage for Junior or overage for U14.
