it wasn't a cheap shot at mervue or oranmore,westport are a very good side,your also very selective in your west results,west unbeaten in all cups,won 7 out of 9 in the league,drew 1 lost 1,beat galway hibs twice,beat athenry away,hammered rangers 6-1,salthill 5-1,colga 4-0,nuig 4-1,beat ballinrobe 7-0,beat usher celtic 10-1,fair enough oranmore deservedly beat west,but it was an off day and 9 times out of 10 west would win.Quote:

Don't get me wrong, I know how strong west are this season. I was just (jokingly) making the point that if you say Westport are too strong for Oranmore/Mervue and Wests results haven't exactly been great against either of those teams this season, then maybe West should be scared of Westport :)
For the record i've no idea whatsoever how good Westport or any team from Connaught outside of Galway are for that matter so I won't make a prediction
i was only messing about the arsenal thing, we won't play that well again if we come up against a better team, no offense to ye!! ther'll def be tougher tests ahead for us, cheers bud!! :)Quote:

not 100% sure of that.
definetley looking forward to it though!!
What´s the situation with the A Championship? Is it a level between junior and senior? How long is it around? I never heard of it so I´m just curious. Best of luck to Castlebar in it anyway, I presume ye are Mayo´s sole representatives?
What´s the ramifications for the club at junior level? The B team are taking the place of the A team I´ve heard. Will they have many players available? The C team presumably take the place of the B team too? Exciting season for ye anyway!
ya, the b team are taking over for the super league and we definitely need more players to compete in the 'a' league far from good enough at the moment but there is a few players hopefully on the cards, it's a learning experience, hopefully we give it a good go!!!Quote:

yes, we are mayo's only representatives. 2009 will be the a leagues second season running. it is a reserve league for already established eircom league clubs, while it is also a third division for more progressive non-league clubs to enter like ourselves, salthill and mervue. in 2008, mervue won the a league meaning that they got promoted to the 1st division which they will be playnig in this season. the aim is to try and get as many non-league clubs to join and try to force their way into the 1st divisionand also give us more high standard divisions in ireland like in most other countries.Quote:

Thanks for the help, please excuse all the questions!Quote:

it will take a lot of work from everyone in the club but i think we can pull it off!!
glad to hear that most nuetrals are supporting us.
mayo teams in action this weekend
round 4
manulla v athenry
round 5
westport v oranmore
celtic v ballinasloe
my opinion, athenry to beat manulla, westport to win a tight game against oranmore and celtic to dispose of ballinasloe 2-1.
they will all be tight games
Athenry will hammer ManullaQuote:

don't underestimate oranmore. they beat mervue 3 or 4nil in the last round and celtic only beat them on penalties last year and if i can remember correctly, celtic were lucky to come away with a win. oranmore are also 4th in the prem. league in galway ahead of the likes of salthill, mervue and nuig.Quote:

Ex Boro player of the year Sean O'Brien playing centre back for Oranmore, few of us heading over.
mervue is a b team and they are ahead of oranmore, as are west it'd and athenry. Salthill are bad this year. Oranmore are mid table equivalent of manulla or ballyheane and if Westport play well they will hammer them simple as. Ya never know in cup football though!Quote:

Any results in yet?

Read something in the Connacht a couple of weeks ago, which intimated that Celtic were trying to get there league cup games postponed pending there involvement in the Connacht Cup. Not sure of the status.Quote:

Wasn't disparaging your efforts East Utd. My comment about the level in Galway was specifically based on the impression Oranmore left on me from last weekend. Been following there results this year, and they've got some noticable scalps, however based on there performance on Sunday, I couldn't see where there results were coming from.Quote:
