Does anyone have any thoughts as to why the league decided only now to punish the 3 teams that didnt travel to Mulranny.Why do this when the season is over, that is unless there was another hidden agenda. These games were May 21st (Urlaur), July 2nd (K/K) and the Ballyvarry home game was August 28th. Another unfair and unjust, make it up as you go along ruling, as per some of the latest sanctions.
cheers round tower, however have to feel for the charlestown lads they played really well all year and only denied a play-off by a 95th minute equalizer. at least they have got promoted as well and we can do battle again next year. They are a sound bunch of lads and should be commended on their reaction after the match when they applauded us to the dressing room.
Lads,
I believe K+K Utd are going to be playing in Division 2 next year and not Claremorris B.
Serves them right for not fulfilling fixtures, Urlaur and the bombers deducted points too for their travel sickness. Just dissapointing that Mulranny got 11 points this season without kicking a ball.... again let me state that this no slight or sour grapes on Mulranny as they played all their games with intent, deremination and passion and can not be blamed for the clubs who couldnt afford the flights to the further reaches of our vast county. However I feel that the best 2 sides were promoted and the worst 2 relegated. Why did it take the ML so long to inforce their sanctions ?? would K/K have known their fate going into the last game and if not surly they were entitled to be made aware that there was a decision pending ............... that said ive no sympathy as they should have fulfilled the fixture... shame Urlaur didnt go too !!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Cheers seasider, yeah feel a little hard done by but time is a great healer ha!. that's football for ya and it was a great game to finish out the season even if the pitch was a bit soft.. congrats anyway hope ye had a good drink on it and roll next year so we can we can have a go at ye again!!..
If there is one club that would be aggrieved with Urlaur, Kiltimagh/Knock United and Ballyvary Bluebombers, it would be Achill Rovers as they would have been in the mix for promotion, had Mulranny dropped points from these games. Mulranny at least made a 100% effort to fulfill their fixtures. However, it is hypothetical to say what would have actually happened with them three games.....Mulranny could easily have won them anyway. The three clubs that failed to fulfill them fixtures deserve a rap on the knuckles for that anyway.Quote:

Whats the point of that???? Its not like Westport will go up if they win or there is any reward for it? Where did you hear that?
Its official now, date and venue yet to be confirmed. Medals to be played for !
Is there medals for runners up? ....... i doubt it.....Quote:

I know its late cause havn been on in while but congrats to Mulranny on winnin the league still gutted at loosin it so late in the game but s..t happens. was some belter of a game to finish the season and some way to win it in fairness with more or less the last kick of the game. we didnt know there was a Mayo rep at pitch after the game otherwise we would have waited out there for the presentation so was least we could do applaudin ye on the way off.
dont know if there is money to second place team so the match v Westport will be pointless i think but if im wrong and there is money at stake then fair enough.

For the last couple of years only the runners up in the Super and the Premier leagues got money for finishing secound. There has always been medals for runners up in all divisions what ever is at youths,junior or women so sice the 2 teams finished level as runner up there has to be a play off for the runners up medals.

The club never demanded the game, it was one individual and one individual only. The club actually tried to get it scrapped.Quote:
