Sunday is officially Super Sunday. At 12:00, the B team, if they defeat S&F United away, they become Premier Division champions. At 3:00, the first team takes on old rivals, Castlebar Celtic in Milebush Park in the AIB Cup final. Victory will ensure the domestic treble and the biggest trophy haul for the junior team since 1974.:)
Come out in force to support the red and black!!:D
I can sum up the desperation that exists within Castlebar Celtic to win the AIB Cup after getting the Eircom U.21 game against Salthill Devon postponed. The pressure is on Mr. Dykes and his team to deliver. A season without a domestic trophy would be seen as failure within the Celtic hierarchy. Westport United, on the other front, have not lost a cup final since 1999 at junior level and have only lost two since 1987.
its the sign of a good team that delivers under pressure. once again westport fail to really rub celtics nose in it.Quote:

I see in the Mayo News David Horkan (Utd best player on the day) was on his knees begging Gavin Dykes to sign him for Celtic!Quote:

Rumour has it that the picture is shortlisted for the Pullitzer Prize in photojournalism. Dykes had the face of thunder!!:eek::D
But we had one helluva wake on Sunday night.:eek: Black Sunday is a memory as the team now pursues bigger and brighter things!!;):DQuote:

Former player, Domonik Zareba, was in town over the weekend and he was in great form and he met up with all the faithful.
The lads are badly needed based on the balance of the team on Sunday. I was very surprised that your team finished the game with five centre-halfs (JL, EMcH, PB, LJ,& O'C) what is the manager thinking, is he been told who not to drop. Looks that way on Sunday.Quote:

Westport have to be commended for this, it has worked out well this season, will it work next or work again, who knows.
Have you any plans online or dates on the developments for the pitches TB?
Best of luck with this development. What is the plan & time scaleQuote:

I was surpised that he picked out BK as a new Centre-half, pace would not be his strongest point. With McL, DS & DC coming back, this will give the team the attacking option that was badly missed last Sunday. I do fancy Celtic (if U-21 players are used) & Utd to have a big say in the Connacht Cup but based on Sunday well off the pace for a tilt at the FAI Cup.Quote:

Learned today that no job is safe in football. Two weeks ago its was Jossie. Now its been confirmed to me that Brendan O'Connor has been shown the door, after failing to win the A.I.B. Cup. Despite he having won The Super League, and westro Cup.Quote:

It appears its a sad day one way or another.
Hope he Brendan gets back in the game
Well that has to b the daftest decision yet, has he someit else lined up?
Funds not there maybe to keep him?
I heard that a number of supporters were not happy with his team selection last Sunday and some players were not happy with him as their manager. Will Cuey leave Westport GAA team after getting them relegated out of the Senior Championship, didnt see him as a man that would run from a challenge. Would be great for Utd to get him back with PB. By the way what happened to your Galway player JO'B, he didnt last long. What targets will the new manager be set?Quote:

He only lost on penalty shoot out.
would he been sacked if he won? I dare say yes.
Reason you cant pay someone and development at the same time.
Looks like big changes ahead.:confused:
Sounds like some of the players had the knives out for the manager !!! What sort of a committee would listen to these spineless players who were not happy to win a league & cup double....
It's not often you get a chance to win an FAI Junior cup,and when you do win it,it requires alot of luck along the way.Was he sacked because he did'nt win it ?
Sounds like some of the older players are lookinng for the job themselves ??
You don't have to be liked to be a manager !! You have to do the job to the best of your ability..God help who takes up the position next .
Sad day for Westport,sad when a committee listens to a shower of cry babies who met a manager who did'nt take any of there bu*ls*it..
thats rich coming from you after slaughtering k.murphy all year!Quote:

The question u should be asking will he be sacked!!
Only I know that.Watch the space
I heard a rumour here in Athens to a similar effect, but I feel that it is wise not to make further comment on it.Quote:
