lads, we'll agree to disagree and everyone entitled to their own opinion.
call it quits on the whole celtic-westport thing.

we have a tough one aswell. away to kilmore. celtic playing well just need to take chances. should be looking for 3 points down there. hopefully a few more of the younger lads back

s & f v ballyheane............away
manulla v erris..................away
westport v ballina..............draw
snugbor v fahy.................home
kilmore v celtic..................away

The Rumour is they are struggling,J MmCarthy broke his ankle against Ballina and they have a another one or two struggling with injuries,So you never know

Nice to get something here, they will still be confident with the likes of Stevie Gavin. You'd never know we'll be determined to get something outta the game anyway ;)

Hopefully we will have a good squad anyway, four players back and available from last week by my count and three or four new lads coming in. Would be nice to see a little bit more competition for places...

Watched the end of the Ballina town Snugboro game last Sunday. Great pitch, good football at a great pace. Good ref (J. Blake). I had never seen a super league game before and I was really impressed. Credit to all clubs and to the Mayo League for their high standards.
As an aside stop the bickering lads it is making you look fierce immature.

I agree SL is a good standard of football. Mayo has good pitches to offer and decent refs.

Rivalry is a healthy thing in football but I agree with the point of stopping bickering, but its a bit of craic most of the time ;)

Fair assessment. We were fairly up for it. Absolutely unreal performance from Joe Keane in centre half again, man of the match for all three games we have played. He really should be a walk-in for the Oscar Traynor squad. Snugboro seemed a little lacking in bite up front and resorted to putting Yohan on as a striker to rough up our defenders. That didn't work. Fahy tried to play the ball on the ground as usual, contrary to popular opinion, and hit the bar three times. The Snugboro centre half, Mark something, is a class act. Gary Goggins worked really hard, Pat Mc Nally did exceptionally well for a man playing out of position, Tomas Keane took care of Stevie G when he came on, Fran Sheridan held up ball and won every header. In fairness, Snugboro went down to nine men by the end due to Stevie Gavin having to go off injured after the three subs had come on, and a really unnecessary sending off. Fahy deserved the three points in the end though, and set a marker for the rest of the season. Long may it last. With Westport coming next week we need all the confidence we can get.

On a different note, our full back Peter Heraty broke his collar bone in an act of selfless defending which typified our whole performance. Best of luck recovering to him. Also, Snugboro were very gracious in defeat, and are a sound bunch of lads who will come back stronger.

fair play to fahy, great win for ye out there. 6 points from 3 games is a good start.

on celtic behalf, suppose a point down there isn't to bad. 4 points from 3 games isn't too bad either with two away games out of the way. hopefully the lads can get back to winning ways at home to manulla next week.

anyone know the westport-ballina result or the s & f-ballyheane result??

Westport 3, Ballina Town 2
S & F 1, Ballyheane 2
