So it looks like the boro, s&f, ballyheane are gone, with the last place between fahy and celtic.
shame how its 4 goin down, there's already a big enough gap between the top 3 and the rest, never mind taken 4 out and puttin 2 teams in from the premier. although maybe the 2 teams from the premier might put on a better show that some of the SL teams there already. looks like its claremorris and ballinrobe coming up.
If Ballyheane beat Celtic it will make it very interesting. Ballinrobe would struggle in the superleague never mind a 8 team division, Claremorris could do alright if they keep the same team together.Quote:

The fact remains that if the league goes to a 8 team superleague it effectively is the end of rural clubs playing in the top division. We will be looking at a league dominated by town teams by sheer weight of numbers. It will be a sad day if Ballyheane and Fahy get relegated on a ill conceived idea.Quote:

I have sympathy for any team that would be relegated in the 3rd and 4th spots, I was only singling out the rural teams as I fear that it could be a while before they get a chance to return to the top division.Quote:

ballina should go on to win the league if they can beat erris.
Pts
1.Ballina 41
2.Westport 40
3.Erris 40
4.manulla 25
5.Swinford 21
6.Celtic 18
7.Fahy 15
8.Ballyheane 14
9.S&F 14
10Snugboro 2
Is that swinfords pitch on the old charlestown road?
Ya thats it. have to agree, think this weekend will decide alot for a few teams. its a pitty no one seems to no wot the story is with regards to either 2 or 4 teams goin down. think its very unfair on the teams involved. ballina have the league in the hands if they can hold on to it.
Every one that wants to know knows that 4 teams are going down - all teams have known this since last Feb!!Quote:

we were told that 6 go down from our league this season..... make of that what you will
So it looks like everything is nearly sorted in This years Super League,with Ballina beating erris all they have everything in thier own hands,win the last game and they are champions,Castlebar Celtic are safe after beating Snugboro,I was looking at there results and 8/9 games ago they were 2nd from bottom with only 3/4 points,and all the relagation issues are now sorted as well with Castlebar winning.Well done to all.Quote:

7.fahy 16
8.ballyheane 14
9.s&f 14
10.snugboro 2
this is the table as things stand, with westport having to play ballyheane still. ballina just needing to beat swinford in the final game. went to watch the manulla game yesterday, they were playin s&f. s&f were 2-1 up with about 3min to go. the manulla keeper came up for a corner in the last min and scored to make it 2-2. then they scored the winner after a shot took a deflection. from watching the game s&f were the better team but switched off.
so the 4 teams goin down are fahy,ballyheane,s&f and snugboro. still dont see how making this league into an 8 team league is make things better!!
Hav to agree, i dont see why there making it into an 8 team league. i dont think its goin to improve it that much.
does anyone no why they have left the last league game till the 26th of sept?? could they not have played an extra mid week game and finished the league season yesterday..
Due to Fai junior Cup and conn cup and the Con gold cup and semis. They are all taking up sundays
Anyone Know when the FAI cup draw is?
Hate to throw spanner in to the works looking at the table Westport may not have alot to play for when they now play Ballyheane, Ballyheane is Westport Bogey team should Ballyheane beat westport or draw could down to last game dog fight between Fahy ballyheane to go downQuote:

But, like I say; everyone has it four teams down anyway.
I relised the error after woulds I based it on three not this daft 4 teamsQuote:

The premier division is so tight with 4 points covering 3 place to 10 place,Westport could be promoted or relegated this season.Quote:

Well done to Ballina Town on winning the Super League. It was great that the league went down to the last game this season. By accounts it was an easy enough game for the town today against Swinford.Quote:

Think Swinford, like ourselves this time last year, had nothing to play for having stayed up already.
Well done to the champions back to back wins.Quote:
