kilmore fan u've been very quite on this since the 9-0 beaten by s&f and again last nite in the cup.. how's all down there? do ye think ye'll stay up this year?
cup final sunday 20th july.
fahy vs S&F
How do ye think this will go?
Not too many mystic megs here![]()
Celtic 1 - S&F 0
Sublime finish by Shane Smyth after some great battling by Fintan McHale gave Celtic a precious win and really throws the league wide open.
S&F had 2 or 3 very good chances but came up against some brilliant keeping from Padraig Crean and equally top notch defending by Keith Hopkins and Wesley Hurst who put their bodies on the line. Celtic lost Adrian O'Brien to injury in the first 1/2 and also lost Noel Marney who had to go A&E but should a lot of balls when they had to.
Celtic are still 6 points behind but have a game in hand and with S&F having their last 3 games away the title could be on its way back to Celtic Park
But still a long way to go yet. The management had every reason to get excited tonite with the victory, ablily backed up by a very good crowd, even though I think 1/2 of Ballyheane seem to have taken a wrong turn
Go on the Celts.

both sets of players deserve huge credit for a a game full of passion and excitment. wasnt for the faint hearted thats for sure sheer desire passion and will to win got us the 3 points however i think s&f deserved a point but when defenders put their body on the line like ours did clean sheets are always a possibility
i may occasionally walk alone but i'll be in good company when i do
1 nil to cetlic B, good result for them, went to watch this game to see wot both teams were like, to be honest lads s&f should have won the game 3-1, celtic had 1 clear chance and they took it, a big high ball put into the box and a mix up between keeper and one of s&f backs, celtic stricker got in a finished. thats the only clear chance celtic had all nite, s&f had 3 chances inside the 6 yeard box with 10min left only for some good saves. a draw would have been a good result but i think s&f deserved it more.
to say the title is on the way back to celtic lads is a bit out there.. its still s&f's to lose and i think last nites loss will drive them on even harder now. celtic B have a game in hand alrite but games in hand's mean nothin. celtic have to win all there remaining games while s&f still have to lose 1 or 2 more and i cant see that happening.
interesting times ahead but still have to say s&f well win the league and celtic in 2nd.
agree with you its still s&f's to loose but when you consider we were without 5 players who would have definately started then the celtic squad deserve huge credit.fallon torpey drevins mcgurrin and kirby were all with the A squad.it all depends on how s&f react to this loss, havin spoken to a few of them i think it will only galvanise them for rest of season.it keeps it interesting if nothing else!!!!!!!!!!
i may occasionally walk alone but i'll be in good company when i do

Swinford Fahy Rovers
Castlebar Celtic B Fahy Rovers
Fahy Rovers Manulla B
Westport United B Fahy Rovers
Celtic b last 4 games:
Castlebar Celtic B Manulla B

Crossmolina Castlebar Celtic B
S&F last 4 games:
Straide & Foxford Urlaur United
Manulla B Straide & Foxford
Glenhest Rovers Straide & Foxford
Kilmore Straide & Foxford
by looking at the last 4 games, s&f have slightly the best one, even tho there away that shouldnt put them off.
Urlar 1 - 2 Fahy
Hard game, a bit of confusion in the backline when one of the fahy lads was seemingly fouled gifted Urlar an early goal.
Fahy controlled the game from then on, should have been out of sight by half time had the finishing been a bit better. Second half Fahy dominated again and were determined to get back and did so with a good back post finish from Joe Keane, mins later Fadden was fouled in the box and gary goggins put away the penalty.
Hard fought win in Urlar but deserved. Urlar have a couple of good players...NERO is very fast and skillful on the wing!
Any other results?
Urlaur United 1 - 2 Fahy Rovers
Manulla B 4 - 2 Kilmore
Castlebar Celtic B 1 - 0 s&f
Glenhest Rovers 1 - 1
Crossmolina 1 - 1
Was at the celtic v s&f game,credit to both teams for a good game..Celtic got one chance and took it.S & F should have scored 2 or 3 but with poor finishing and great goalkeeping they didnt score.Celtic keeper was man of the match.S&F still look the best football team.some exciting weeks ahead!!!!
ya it was a good game alrite, think from watchin this game, they are the best 2 teams in the league. dont think either team will face tougher teams in the league, but fahy seem to be a banana skin for celtic this year.. celtic's game in hand against manulla b will be huge for celtic, when is this to be played??
Glenhest 1 Swinford 1..
Did not travel to the game but by all reports it was a tough game and in the end we were lucky to come away with a point,some brilliant goalkeeping from Shane Holleran saved us in the end by all accounts.
Should have scored more goals as well sloppy finishing again i think.
Big one next weekend Manulla B at home should be a cracker...
they are the two best teams..Celtic game in hand could be played the weekend of cup final...
If s&f win next weekend and swinford lose, wont s&f be promoted. Earliest promotion I can ever recall.
