Super League Predictions Week 3
Charlestown v S & F.....Home Win
Conn Rangers v Ballyglass.... Away Win
Castlebar Celtic v Ballina Town.... Away Win
Ballyheane v Westport Utd...... Draw
Charlestown v S&F - Draw
Conn v Ballyglass - Away
Castlebar v Ballina - Away
Ballyheane v Westport - Away
On a side note, took a spin to see Ballyglass for the first time last week after all the talk about them. They look really solid throughout the team, no chance of them winning anything but no chance of them going down either. In fairness to Charlestown they weren't outclassed as 5-1 might suggest. Played with 10 men for the full second half and were evenly matched until the last 10/15 minutes when they looked to tire a small bit and were caught on the break.
Does anyone actually know what's the story with the Conn Rangers ground? Has it been closed by the league? What are the reasons behind it if it is true?
Interesting results over the weekend, Westport get out of jail in injury time at ballyheane, Ballina town come from 1 down to win 2-1 at Castlebar celtic, foxford lose heavily to Charlestown and ballyglass destroy conn rangers to keep up their good start to the league.
3 out of 4 with the predictions isn't too bad.
Surprised to see S&F losing so heavily to Charlestown, they look in serious trouble. Big game between themselves and Conn in a fortnight, I think the loser is a cert for Premier A next season.
Great to see Ballyglass top of the league after promotion, it wont last but fair play to them anyway.
Really wish the rumours on here about the pitch were true and that we didn't have to play that game yesterday 😄 The improvement in the ballyglass team from last year is hard to believe, their chief scout was right on the money with summer signings Jp o Gorman and the Polish center half.... Danny broderick star of the show tho #Topquality
It'll be interesting over the next few games to see if Ballyglass can hold their own against the likes of Westport and Ballina Town (not sure when their due to meet), I know they already beat Celtic but from what I've seen of Celtic so far they need to up their game big time if their going to compete for the league title, no way near the level they were last year but in saying that they weren't great last year either but still managed to finish 2nd.
Fair play to Ballyglass - breath of fresh air. It looks a lot like Ballina V Port for league. I will be surprised if Celtic or Ballyheane manage to get back while Ballyglass will do well to hang on. Having seen both Ballina & Port of late then the Port for me - not as good as last year but still better.
The heane have had a crappy month Losing narrowly to Mervue then failing to score against S&F followed by a robbery in ballina and then failing to hold on against Westport. Should be 7/9 but are 1/9 and Celtic up next. Still early days though
Charlestown very unlucky against Ballyglass. Player sent off for totally inexplicable reason. When the ref was asked after the answer given was "he knows what he did" this was his reply 3 times. Assistant referees didn't see anything, the press reporter's were as bemused as anyone. Played 2nd half with 10 men and referee had an assist in the Ballyglass 3rd goal by getting in the way of a cross field ball and inadvertently knocking it in the path of the forward to score (didn't see the need for him to laugh and joke with the Ballyglass lads tho). Anyway that aside got back on track last week with an accomplished performance against a poor S n F side. Turned up with only 12 player's and 1 came before k.o. Could be a long season for John O'Hara and his side. Ballyglass are decent and will cause teams trouble. Might lack a bit of pace at the back but will win everything in the air.

4 games have now been played by most clubs, anyone got any opinions on how the league will fair out based what you have seen so far.
Stand out team so far, any predictions for the cups???
What is the situation with the Conn. Gold cup and shield, there was a proposal that the cop would be made up of last years SL teams with the top 6 in PremierA, the Shield would be the remaining 4 in A, the 10 in B and the top2 in League 1, think they planned a third comp. for the other teams, With just 40 teams are they as well just have a cup and a shield. The cup consisting of the SL and PA teams and the Shield of PB and L1 teams.
Westaro Cup :
Manulla v Charlestown.... Home win
Conn Rangers v Ballyheane.... Away win
Ballina Town v Iorras.... Home win
Catlebar Celtic v Wesport.... Home win
Ballyglass v S&F Utd.... Home win
