Mayo League Premier A 2014

Killaala 1-2 Partry, a very good entertaining game, the winners had the vast majority of possession long periods, Partry took the lead when one of the player was given too much room to shoot into the top corner. Killala equalized when Kyle exerted pressure too disposes a defender for hefo to round the keeper to score., our keeper pulled off a number of good saves. In the first half one of there players nearly caused the ref too make aa decision. The referee stoped play for a clash of heads, there player was suposed too give the ball back to us but instead shot at goal, just shooting over. At the start of the second half we had a lot of posession with there keeper pulling off a good save from Giggs and Mac shooting wide fro a good angle, they also got away with a defense fist of the ball which the ref. did not see. The winner came with 3 minutes left a deflected shot was just out of the clutches of our keeper. Big game on Sunday away to Celtic B too keep us away from the bottom.

Was just saying he had been with Snugboro the last 5 years

Castlebar Celtic B 3-1 Killala
Started the game too cautiously, a deflected free kick which looped over the keeper for the first, second a scramble, 3 shot from wide that could have went anywhere. Changed at ht, completely controlled the second half, a Hefo header from a corner pulled 1 back, failed to take other chances. Had 2 very strong claims for penos, 1 in each half not given. Crazy yesterday having too play on there astro-turf and there main pitch lying idle, how is the ML allowing this, does nothing for the game. Talked to a ex ref. yesterday, he said it was said at a referee's meeting that the ML has instructed them to hand out an average of 4 bookings a game, disgrace and it should be brought up a meeting.

Agree with you there Tower. were you told prior to match day that the game was changed to the Astro pitch? If not then I think thats against the rules as players have to obtain the right footwear. People from celtic will defend it saying that it has been FAI/uefa approved which is fair enough but as you said it just doesn't do the game any good. Mind you it could be worse, it could have been mountfalcon :smirk:(cue the rangers 3)

In relation to your last comment , that is some very serious allegations there! If it was a current ref you may be shocked but tread carefully with ""Former"" officials , they may have an axe to grind

Yes we knew, the Rangers pitch is a very bad, I have suggested before and I have done on the ML face book page that they should have a competation for each league division and a overall winner. I think Killen sport grounds of Claremoris sponsors the league already, but I think it a sponsorship that would be good to both the ML and the company. They have said that they are going too hold a pitch surface developing course.
On the other subject it was a former referee but he said he should be back reffing next month, also another current fef. said to one of our players during a match a couple of weeks ago.

Are snugboro and Killala still whinging :D we got battered tonight up in claremorris 7 2...

Claremorris played very well we didn't, claremorris wanted it, we didn't... Yes we were fown lads but still had as strong a team as we have had all season, going down to ten men at 4 2 didnt help....From what guy told me at game they have 3 teams outside top 4 next 3 league games so wudnt surprise me if they clawed right up!! Us at home to partry and Celtic b at home to swinford in divisional cup semis, any thoughts

Conn rangers 5 Westport B 1 solid performance after defeat in claremorris thursday

Killala 0-6 Claremorris
Very poor performance, Giggs missed a great chance at 0-0 but hammered the bar after rounding the keeper, they took the lead within 2 minutes, 2 down at ht. The second half resulted in a further 4 goals 2 from the penalty spot. A very good young team.

We're Premier B (for now) but we talk a good game

Its all there in the name - Achill Rovers, Football, Drama, & Athletics club.
Providing the Drama is* part of the club end of year treasury report





*is not

Conn rangers 2-1 partry, partry play great football, they lack penetration at times but they pushed us all the way.cup semi finals all about winning and thats all we did

Conn Rangers 3-1 Killala
Good even first half with a couple of half chances to both sides, the second half then a shot from long range hit the crossbar ,came back for Rangers player to nod into the net. Then a very good finish from young Helly made it 2-0, who played youths soccer for us up to U14 or U16's foe us. Hefo pulled one back but Rangers sealed the points, missing 2 or 3 players, a lot more spirited side, finished with 3 U18's playing.

No mention of the red card in ur match report :), also how number 6 stayed on the pitch ill never know, did enough for 4 yellows

In no way taking from SnF but did Charlestown and Moy Villa not have a much better start to the Season? Think they deserved it but thats just my humble opinion

As far as I know snf won Connaught shield and away to Manulla and ballina town in super league so that must have shaded it, Moy villa and Charlestown might get it for may

ha always wondered about your match reports, always seemed to be a hard luck story for ye, don't remember any chances for ye in first half while we had 3 one on ones(poor finishing) 3-1 flattered ye massively in my opinion but then again i'm biased TOO

Since you asked it was its usual carpet like, did you find the ball you spent so long looking for.

Killala probably had the best chance of the first half when the keeper messed up coming out late and the ball just went by the post. Just saying.

Yes killala dominated, very unlucky, conn rangers poor, nothing to fear from them

Urlaur are up and running, great draw for them and the rest of us against ballyglass

Killala 0-2 Westport Utd. B
The first pretty even afair with not too many chances,, 2 goals in quick sucession settled the match, had a couple of good cchances with one cleared off the line by Giggs.

Conn rangers 2 swinford 0.... Good team performance, league very tight at top!

Poor result for the lads,wasn't at it so can't comment on the performance but I know 2 if not three lads were gone due to injury and holidays so that didn't help. Still 1 point clear at the top and a big cup semi final on Thursday so onwards and upwards ..

Conn Rangers were missing 4 lads so that no excuse - we were rubbish and should have been beaten by more - terrible performace. Conn Rangers as i predicted at the start of the season are still there to win it!

Conn rangers v swinford divisional cup final in milebush, swinford will obviously be favourites with them top of the league.....

Don't start any mind games it's yeres if ye have any 11 available :)

Any scores from today's games??

Urlaur 0 conn rangers 6... Westport 4 Celtic b 2.... Swinford 1 Killala 1

Swinford 1- 1 Killala
A vastly improved performance, nothing like a win for confidance. the first half close, a long clearance from our CD had there keeper anxious as the ball hoped over his head bot hoped over the bar. A mistake in there defence let Hefo disposess them to fire high into the net. In the second half both teams miss chance, hitting the post. With 5 minutes left a shot from outside the box flew past our unsighted keeper for the equalize. Then with a minute or 2 left with our keeper on the ground with a head injury, a our players stopped playing expecting Swinford to kick the ball out or for the referee too stop play, neither happened except Swinford scored. After a delay the referee ruled out the goal for the game to finish a draw. That is 4 points we have taken off them this year, could be a very vital one in our fight against relagation. Masive game next week at home to Uraur.

Ballyglass 0 claremorris 2

How can a ref rule out a goal after awarding it???
