Fahy 3 - 1 Snugboro, Snuggies getting one with 3 mins to go.

No reason to even doubt Swinford will finish in the bottom 2 (based on 3 games playing against ye last year). We've proved in our first year that even a small club with a small community can cut it in the super league. We will be even stronger next year and hopefully not dropping the points so easily as we did against Westport twice and Celtic. Any game we won we deserved it I think to be fair.

Swinford are a decent football outfit who go well in premier division. Dont think ye have the physical attributes at the moment in your squad and one man in particular who plays off the strikers seems to be the main man. Not saying ye wont do any good and nice to see another good side coming in. All the best...

As for us we'll probably finish on a high and bring back the cup to Westport from Ballina ;)

He's referring to the proposed eight-team Super League for the year after next. (Can anyone tell me if that has been given the go-ahead or do the clubs have to vote on it?) Although strictly speaking, even if it does happen, there is no guarantee that four teams will go down, it all depends on whether a b team finishes in the top two. And that's happened a lot recently.

Its a definite structure in place for 2011 season, posted in the papers a few weeks ago as decided by the ML.

Top six or bust next season...well top 8 or bust because they still haven't went with the simple reserve league solution to the B team problem ;)

explain it in a private message to him...

In fairness I see mossy's point, he never mentioned anything about two teams going down, he just predicted who he thought would be in a 'dog fight' and who would be 'scrapping' and he had more than four teams in those categories. Swinford seemed to take it that he was under the illusion that only two were going down but thats not actually in his post if you read it.....

Thank You
I know that Reno is gone and there is a scrap on to assume his mantle so I presume this is 'Swinford's' pitch for the role:p

not alot of talk about the mayo game, was anyone at it? good 1st win at home.

Yeah, no one seems interested. I tried to get some reaction to the squad and some idea of how people thought they would do but got no response. Decent win against an apparently decent side but wasn't there myself. Big contingent of Westport players and quite a few players on the bench I hadn't heard of (!). There's a match report on the mayo league site:

http://inform.fai.ie/League/Clubs/po...atestnews.aspx

which really could do with having a less stupid address.

From the report mayo seemed well on top but need to do a bit better when they come to play galway. Agreed on both accounts with a high contingent from westport and unkown players on the bench, but westport have a high number of quality players. the starting 11 is prob the strongest in the mayo league right now.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who didn't recognise all the squad members, and wondered if someone could help put a club to the names for me?

Mayo

E Peyton,
T O’Connor, M Duffy (All Ballina)
S Kelly (?)
B Nallen (Erris)
M Geraghty, J Lawless, D Scahill, , D Horkan, D O’Malley (All Westport)
Gerry Burke (Ballyheane)

Subs:
D Burke (Snugboro?)
D Campbell (Manulla)
R Clarke (Manulla)
A McHugh (Ballyheane)
A Mills (Erris)
B Lavelle (Ballina)
N Gallagher (Achill)
D Coleman.

Actually i ended up getting most of them eventually. I should know kelly, but who is Coleman??

Not sure about D Burke, maybe its another Ballina player considering the manager?

Quick edit, Damian Coleman may be at Manulla now.

Any predictions for the weekend?

Cant see Ballina slipping up at this stage but Fahy wont be giving them anything softly, Westport should put one over on Iorras but it might be to little to late. Will be at Ballina game so hope the weather holds up... any chance it might be called off?

I think that all the above are now correct.

Well done to Ballina on winning the Super league today in Beleek. They thrashed Fahy Rovers and were really up for it. Westport lost to Erris anyway (or were losing three nil) so it wouldn't have affected the end result. Both teams will be looking forward to next season, the last ten team super league for the time being.

Can someone explain to me so on who is going down and who is coming up from the Premier Division??

Swinford are going up to The Super League and Kilmore are going down to the Premier Division. Just one up and one down as Wesport B can't be promoted

I take it we were under strength, fair play to Ballina, they were the best team in the super league this year in fairness.

Well done to Ballina on winning the Superleague title they deserved it, they were by far the most consistent team. Well done to Westport United B on winning the premier, and finally well done to our neighbours Clew Bay United for winning promotion to the premier division, two consecutive promotions!

Congratulations to Ballina. Gave us the run around yesterday! and won the Super League in style.

Well done Ballina, they were on fire yesterday and proved worthy champions. Fahy wern't at the races at all.

Worthy champions. Well done Ballina.

What does it say about Fahy, gettin beat 8 - 1 by the worst team to win the league in some time. Not lookin good for ye next year.

Fahy were missing a few players yesterday, Fahy can put it up to any team in the Superleague. I would not read too much into the result.

It says that you are more concerned than we are. Just to prove to myself it wasn't paranoia, I took a look through your posts; more than half of them refer to Fahy Rovers. Last year you claimed we would not even come close to survival

so your opinion is not one I would give too much credence to. When everyone else is offering congratulations, you still have your dour, damning attitude as ever. Give it a rest..

I guess it says we were beaten by a far better team. We have no excuses. Ballina played quality ball and were well worth their win, they could have scored a few more if it wasn't for a few nice saves from our keeper.
Yesterday's result is now history, we won't remember it come next year and neither will most of Mayo!
We've enjoyed our 1st season, got a couple of wins and waited up. It's alot more then was expected of us.
Competition will be stiffer next year and that can only be a good thing. Whither we can wait up next year remains to be seen, either way yesterdays result would be a very poor method of determining Fahy's capabilities for the summer '10.

No business trying to rise Fahy people we are more than happy with our first season.

As always, your making a good impression on here! Your credibility is gone out the window and if i was No 7 I wouldn't bother posting again, no real point...

"Joe will be in the squad for Mayo" play it back to me at the end of the season.

So will Gary Goggins...and maybe more of the Fahy Elite if we keep up our performances!

Its the end of the season GoodFootball and i'm playin it back to you. How many had ye in the first Mayo Squad?

goggins was a shoe in for the squad at least,that was coming from the mayo manager himself,until he went travelling.joe keane declined the offer of playing with the mayo team but thanked them all the same.

on another note fair play to ballina.worthy champions of the super league this year.also fair play to clew bay utd on getting promotion to the premier division,with little or no notice takien of them until it was too late to stop them.sound bunch of lads and fully deserve to go up:ball:

None.

Aside from proving that goodfootball is not great with a crystal ball, what exactly is your point?

Number Seven is a good name for you, you obviously watched Grizzly Adams back in the day. ;)

Well done to Ballina. Deserved title!

As you've read already Joe Keane turned down the chance to play, his choice. And as has been pointed out Gary Goggins was up for selection, unfortunately for Gary it coincided with his plans for travel.

Thanks for playing it back to me though, any more invaluable posts on the horizon?

I would ask what club you belong to so I could come up with some criticism of you but I dont really care ;)

I predicted we would stay up...got it right. Happy enough all round :ball:

Congrats to Ballina on wining the super league....
