It is with deep sadness and profound loss that we mourn the passing of our dear friend and colleague in the football world, Liam McEntee, at such a young age. Our deepest sympathies are extended to his wife Samantha, daughter Jennifer and sons Conor and Ciaran. Our sympathies are also offered to Liam’s father, brothers, sisters and extended family members and friends.
Liam’s brave battle with cancer over recent months was indicative of the strong will, character and resilience of the man. Despite his serious illness in recent times, Liam was always positive and showed great determination in fighting his illness, and was at all times positive about the future. He never allowed his pain or suffering to overcome his desire to return to normal life – but this was not to be.
Liam’s involvement in football in Mayo started some 11 years ago when his pals Brendan Gibbons and Mick Walsh encouraged him to take up refereeing within the Mayo League. Having been an outstanding football player himself with Tolka Rovers and Collins Utd in the Dublin Leagues, Liam adapted very easily to the role of referee. It was only a short number of years later that he commanded the position of leading referee in the county, and indeed within the province, having officiated at many finals at county and provincial level. Liam had a marvelous rapport and understanding with players, and his intelligent, common sense approach, along with a calming influence eased many a difficult situation on the field of play – this in turn was to make him one of the most highly respected referees in the county.
In his working capacity, Liam was equally professional in everything he did. His ability to talk, listen and communicate with people was one of his greatest assets. This ability, along with his intelligent and respectful manner, allowed him to develop a close and healthy working relationship with all his work colleagues.
We have lost a dear friend and colleague, who was highly respected throughout the entire football community. His gentlemanly ways brought him many friends, and he was so easy to work with whatever the circumstance. He was always fast to praise, positive in his outlook, and generous in his admiration for others. We will most of all miss his friendship along with his quick “Dublin wit” and good humour, and we will forever remember his generosity of gratitude to those who cared for him during his recent illness. Liam McEntee was a loving, caring family person who will be deeply missed by his devoted family. We thank all those who cared for Liam during his illness. May he rest in peace.
Joe Butler
The Chairman of the Mayo League, Pat Quigley, offered his sympathies to the McEntee family and expressed the Leagues feelings on the death of Liam:-
“We are deeply saddened today with the sad news of the death of a dear football colleague and friend. Liam McEntee was an outstanding referee who gave tremendous service to the game of football in Mayo over the past 11 years. His untimely death at such an early age has left has left a huge void to fill for his family and those nearest and dearest to him. I had several discussions with Liam during his illness, and he always projected a positive manner with the hope of returning to full health, and to the playing fields - this however was not to be the case. We offer our deepest sympathies to his wife Samantha, and children Jennifer, Ciaran and Conor along with his father, brothers and sisters. As a mark of respect the entire Mayo League programme for this week end has been postponed. May he rest in peace.”

cross celtic v snugboro Away
Those results would make it interesting!
Swinford 0 : 2 Conn Rangers - Dodgy peno decision for the first, but Conn deserved the win
Us 0 Snugboro 3, well deserved win for Snugboro.
I agree they deserved the 3 points but the margin does not reflect that they only had 5 shots on goal.
Well as the old cliche says" you have to take your chances". Certainly didnt seem like the cross side we played twice in the season before. I asssume ye were missing a few.Quote:

All very tight at the top, five teams can still possibly get promoted. What's the prediction?
too tight to call really.i would personally think snugboro are outsiders,apart from that its imposible to call.claremorris have already exceeded all expectations and begining of the year predictions
Think Moy Villa are starting to stall! couple of bad results at home for them
any one hear any thing regarding a resolution to this issue (moy villa played suspended player in fixture in claremorris) i have heard that league are to replay the fixture and that moy villa have appealed this. also correct me if i'm wrong but i did not think a replay is in the mayo league rules.:confused:

Claremorris B v Moy Villa match to be repayed Nov 8th, with final league fixtures on Nov 15th. That makes next Sundays Snug v Chastown an even bigger match, as both now in with real chance of promotion if Moy drop points in Claremorris.
This better be true.......(I may have booked a holiday based on this information)Quote:

ballina utd v swinford b= away
glenisland v cross= home
conn rangers v moy villa= draw
snugboro b v charlestown= draw
Snugboro V Charlestown postponed. Waterlogged pitch. At this rate the league won't be decided by Christmas.

No one to blame here except the Snugboro guys. We did all we could to play the fixture and if it does go to Christmas ur commitee still wont let ye play on the pitch.
I think your apportioning blame a little too widespread there murphs. I can guarantee every member of the Snugboro B panel and management wanted to play today. The A game later has absolutely on affect on the B panel, regardless if a few lads were asked to tog or not.Quote:

If ye wanted to play this game it could have been played simple as ..... why not leave it till later afternoon before writing it off??? Its obvious that there were some other factors from where we are standing. Some of your lads turned up while our guys were there and they were shocked that the pitch was deemed unplayable.
as you said that the same ref was down to ref in the afternoon so he wouldnt ba available for it to be re-fixed during the day.Quote:

plus whatever dusty tells ya committee members dont call off games. its up to the ref and im sure the ref wants a bit of extra money so he wouldnt want to call it off. from what i hear the boro had a full strenght squad for this game, never mind the A team as they have nothing to play for and wouldnt take any of the B teams starting 11 only there fringe players if they were needed to make up numbers.just play it next week and stop being such a winge just because you had to get up early:D
