Fahy where in the same boat last year and Snugboro are currently searching among other clubs Im sure. Also Harry Jennings has stepped down as assistant at Celtics A league side. So, is this a case that football as a game in this county is taking a beating or is it a case of a general lack of interest of former players to get involved in coaching and Management?
We have already seen a lack of commitment from players at clubs and towards training and general commitment so is the game in decline in the county at present?
Discuss..........

Harrys still there was taking to him yesterday

Good Luck to Mark, on taking on a task which I would believe to be a struggle for him as he would find it hard like previous managers before him.
First of all he lacks experience in management.
handing those who stand on the line who will give him a hard time him when things don't go well
also not getting the players as a result of A league.
Should he be left alone get on with the job who knows what he could achieve

Any reports from any of the games?

Round Tower

Killala 1 - 2 Ballyhaunis

Giggs missed a penalty in the first couple of minutes, we had 2 clear penalties that the ref did not give us in the first half, their keeper pulled off a couple of great saves in the first half. Gave away a very bad goal when the ball squirmed under our keeper's body, a goal down at HT. They got a secound on the break finaly pulled a goal back through Malloco but could not a secound. The end of one of the most sucessful seasons in the club history, first league title in 25 years and beaten cup-finalsts, U14 boys won Division 3 title and in the last 8 in the Connaught cup, the U16's boys are in the last 8 of the Connaught shield, the U17's girls won the Mayo league cup, Lacken Cross Voc. school senior girls won an All Ire. senior title. Aileen Gilroy played in a European final and the Quarter final of the World Cup for the Irish U17 womens team. Off the pitch we won the FAI club of the month for May and had 6 players on different teams of the season.

We have a heavy frost here in Castlebar tonight and it is hard to say what the pitch will be like tomorrow

word is the league will start now in may instead of its usual mid April kick off because of the smaller leagues. With 14 league games and 2 cup games it would finish some time in early September. Anyone hear this. Prob not a bad idea as would mean consistent games.

There prob wont be any confirmation on this till a week before the season starts!! Are any clubs back pre-season yet? If the league doesnt start till May there's plenty of time to get started.

I heard rumours that the leagues will be 7 a side this season and the goalkeepers must play with their hand and feet bound, in order to make more goalscoring chances. Come to think of it much like the oscar traynor team played.

Were ya at the mayo game yesterday rava? i read the report on the ML website, sounds like match sharpness was an issue. understandable with the way the weather has been etc..

It was a exciting game but only because of all the errors which were plentiful on both sides. Good to watch but the quality was awfull.
