should we start some end of season prediction's??

ballyglass & S&F to go back up with achill & bangor to go down,

ballinrobe could also be a good bet to hit the drop also.

i know its a footballing cliche thats used far too much but i honestly think its going to be tough league with all teams taking points off one another.think celtic b will be top and and one of swinford or ballyglass to push for the other top spot.could possibly see fahy struggling this yearafter losing a couple of influential players during the winter.s and f could well be on a downward spiral.played them last year in a friendly and didn't think they were that great at all.however in the heel of the hunt i think manulla b and balinrobe will be relegated to the first division.famous last words eh??:D

Achill vs banger = draw
ballyglass vs S&F = ballyglass
Celtic B vs Port B = celtic b
Manulla B vs Ballinrobe= manulla b
Swinford vs fahy = draw

Ya you could be right about S&F but i think there still good enough to climb out of the league. im sure this weekend will throw up some surprizes.

Achill vs banger = Draw
ballyglass vs S&F = Away win
Celtic B vs Port B = Home win
Manulla B vs Ballinrobe= Draw
Swinford vs fahy = Swinford

fahy your not showing much faith in your own side against swinford at all??although admitedly fahy always seem to struggle to get anything out of swinford especially in swinford.think i'm letting my heart rule my head over my prediction for the match and hoping for a draw!!:o

Achill vs bangor = Bangor Hibs
ballyglass vs S&F = S+F Utd
Celtic B vs Port B = Port B
Manulla B vs Ballinrobe= Manulla B
Swinford vs fahy = Swinford :D

i think the premier division will be very competitive this year, with s/f , ballyglass, swinford strong teams however i think Celtic B will be the one's to beat im so confident they will do well this year id put a bet on they could go the season unbeaten, 2 years ago they won the cup and i think it was only 1 defeat to ballyglass away, with them running away with the league, against ballyheane recent freindly i could see a revival of the team with hursty back in the middle and nig to come back from injury couple months, macca,joe and barry red coaching mixed with the youth comming through they will pose a powerful, also have to mention the likes of eamon creane, sean reilly and fintan Mchale all A players who will be playing B, id put my morgage on them winning back the title.....:cool:

I think it maybe a case of a lot of boyz out of their comfort zones this season, last season there was v little competition for places, this season from the goal keeper out, there is at least 2 players edging for each position.

Fintan and Sean prob will be A, Creano will probably be B alright

Achill vs bangor = home
ballyglass vs S&F =away
Celtic B vs Port B = home
Manulla B vs Ballinrobe= ayay
Swinford vs fahy = home

I know. It's bad form alright! Not sure we ever bet Swinford did we? Plenty of draws anyway. And a good few losses! Missing players is a big problem for us; the spine of the team is gone with James Wright the keeper and last year's player of the year away, Joe keane at centre-half injured, Darren Creaby, the midfielder who played U21 for Mayo last year away and Dave Feehan, top scorer, apparently committed to gaelic. Looks like I'm going to have to lend some much-needed experience to the side eh? With myself and new, lightening-fast signing Mickey "Blue Eyes" Cawley we may just pull off a few surprises! Or just pull a few hamstrings..

true i've heard quite a lot about the mickey 'blue eyes' cawley alright.apparantly he's showing quite well in training according to reports (although i think that most of these reports are coming from the man himself!! ;) )and dont think fahy have ever beaten swinford in any game so a draw would be a decent result if we can get it!!what do think swinford??surely yee must be delighted and pretty confident of getting all three points on sunday?was there many of the first team playing when we played yee in the freindly a couple of weeks back?thought i recognised a few faces

yeah fair play to yee.credit where credits due.felt we were a little hard done by for the second goal as there was a decidedly dodgy offside decision that didn't go our.felt that we probably merited a draw over the course of the game but thats football for ya!no sour grapes. ;)
