Mayo League Division 2 2008

[Wingman]

Castlebar Town 2 Swinford B 2

[Tube Station]

Clew Bay 5 Snugboro B 2. Good second half display from Clew Bay, went in at half time 2-1 down. Wind played a big part aswell. Clew Bay lost a player for the rest of the season with a dislocated knee cap and tore ligaments as a result of a wreckless challenge from a boro player and he got away with it

[Wingman]

I heard that it was a good tackle and won the ball must have had a bad knee beforehand?

[minivan man]

mannulla c 2-3 claremorris b. good win for cmorris they came from 2-1 down at half time, starting to get some form going.

[Tube Station]

it was the other knee that he injured before. anyways i dont think a dislocated knee cap and tore ligaments is a sign of a recurrance of an old injury do you? the guy has stud marks on his knee, any player tackling an other player on the knee shouldn't be playing

Sunday sees Snugboro B v Ballina UTD. Predictions??? Has the ability to be a gr8 game. Two teams very close in the league!!!

[walshek]

we played ballina in the in claremorris. we lost 2-1 but it could have beaten us by more. very hard team to break down

Will Claremorris keep their winning run on Thursday night V Castlebar Town ? Should be a good match. Looking forward to playing you next Thursday in Glencorrib!

I think Ballina will win it by the odd goal, they beat us 3 0 in the cup and having played Snugboro in a friendly i think they will have too much firepower. They have one centre forward who played Senior league for Ballina Town years ago, he is different class for division two and very hard to stop. Best of luck to boro.:ball:

[minivan man]

agree with ya footie2008 that lad up front for ballina utd will have to much for sboro b. 2-0 to ballina

[Tube Station]

i disagree about ballina, their a one trick pony relying totally on their centre forward. man mark him and they dont have much, very slow at the back and snugboro have quick strikers that can score. we should have beaten ballina in semi still dont know how we didnt score.

very hard game this evenning with a few lads gone away. thursday evenning game do not suite with lasds working all over the country. the last time the cross game kicked off it was looking to be a cracker of a game should be the same again.

3-2 win for Claremorris, good result.

[walshek]

castlebar town took lead and claremorris got back to 1-1 just after second half. went 2-1 up 10 minutes later + went 3-1 up with 15 to go. hard game

I saw some of the second half, I thought both your strikers were very good, really quick.

[walshek]

two young lads that have came throught the youths. just brecking into panel now. we are just getting some of the youths breaking throught this year. average age of that team is now 24. building for the future etc. :ball:

[BallyBoy]

Just want to wish ballina Utd and Snugboro all the best in the McDonnell Cup Final on Sunday - may the best team win.

[BallyBoy]

Congrats to Snugboro B on capturing the McDonnell Cup yesterday and commiserations to Ballina Utd

very surprised to see castlebar town where they are in the league this season.last year there was all kinds of talk of where they were going and about the great team that they seemed to have.what happened to yee lads?
in the other side of the division ballyvary have taken a real fall from grace.its not all that long ago that they were playing in the top tier of mayo football.lots of lads up and go or whats the story there?

Yeah, it looks like Mulranny, Cross and Glenisland are pulling away in 2B. Town started well but have slipped up a bit lately. A lot of injuries coming at a time when they're catching up on called off games has'nt helped.

I saw a bit of your game V Claremorris and didn't recognise half of the team. You seemed to be missing a few, including your striker who's an excellent player.

[midwesterner]

Disappointing to see Ballyvarys position in the league, whats the storey with then This year? Ballyboy i presume you can answer that? Its dissapointing to see them just freefalling through the divisons in recent years, they've got super facilities. Any hope for the future? is there a young team there?

That would be James McDowell. He's serving a suspension!

Glenisland won 4 - 0 against Manulla c any word on the Mulranny game???

[HeadDBall]

Mulranny 3 Swinford b 3. Mulranny were 3 up at the break and Swinford pulled it back in the 2nd half

Great game - We was crap in the first half but some tweaky of the team just before half time did the business - Bet Cross are doing a rain dance down in south mayo :D

Glenisland are keeping the pressure on though ;)

Keeping our heads down here!
Long way to go yet, think it will go down to the wire, we're away to Swinford on last day of the season :D

[sinabhuil]

Was at the Cross - Claremorris game. Good game Claremorris by far the better team in 1st half. Cross however played some very good direct football in the 2nd half with the big striker showing a very good touch as well as some Rooneyesque type running. Also player manager when he came on made a big difference. The match proved that in rough conditions and when you have a good target man the direct approach is the best one. Claremorris had an excellent young lad on the left wing (red head) as well as a good right full back. Cross need to widen their play for future games. They were missing a few defenders.

[Tube Station]

any reports on this weekend games? clew bay beat ballyheane b 4-1 away tonight. well deserved, 3-1 up at half time, should have been way more up but failed to finish. poor ref in fairness to both sides but have to say ballyheane were more interested in arguing with the ref than playing the game, they constantly moaned at the ref right from the kick off and i mean constantly. they werent like that when we played them before and to be honest it didnt help there performance tonight

[walshek]

shock news both d glynn and d brodrick are returning from galway utd. guss what both are registered B:)

Castlebar Town 3 Hollister 2, any results from 2B, what about Swinford v Malranny?

[NoelM]

Swinford 4 Mulranny 1; Cross V Ballyglass (Ballyglass unable to field a team, I think thats a 3-0 win); Knock Kiltimagh 2 Claremorris 3;

[walshek]

lads this was going to happen all the time. the first league game we played ballyglass they had A players playing. if they cannot field a team it is a 300 euro fine but what happens if they play there A team as B? we had them in claremorris at they only had 8 players they should be removed from the league

Very young squad, 6 - 7 are U18 and another couple U 25. We are playing reasonably well, not getting badly beaten and should have pulled better results from a number of the games. We have been competitive in most games with the exception of Ballina and Conn Rangers games.

We still need a couple of experienced players in key positions. If we can keep the young players together for a couple of seasons we should make progress. But it is disappointing to be positioned where we are.

They should be thrown out of the league and all their games null! simple as that :mad:

We had lads give up Connaught final tickets, oxygen tickets etc only to get a text on Sunday at 12 to say they couldn't field a team.

Cloggs, i urge you to take another look at the 2b table, Cross look favourites but there i a lot of football to be played. We ( The Town ) are in joint fourth with 7 games left to play and a game in hand, thats 21 points left. If Cross sneak the league there are five other teams going for second place, it is a very competitve league and any of the teams that go on a long winning run will be there or there abouts. Now predict the first and second place if you dare!:mad:

[Tube Station]

think who ever finished 2nd in Div 2A will beat whoever finishes 2nd in Div 2B

Sure enough Footie ye're in with a chance but the results would want to improve. Ye can't afford to drop too many more points from now on in and getting good results against the teams above ye will be tough. Still hopefully with a bit of luck ye can make it into that play off place!
How're things on the injury front?
Anyway good luck with the run in, hope ye do it!

[bananaboots]

Big game at the weekend may have the top wide open..if Mulranny can get a result against Cross and Glenisland win there would only be a point in it!..with 5 games left... Exciting stuff!
