The old cliche of attack the post not the poster should come into play here. �You obviously don�t know what you�re talking about� is a bit rich. Also, to oppose someone mentioning money, which has unfortunately but definitely become a factor in the Mayo League, is to (A) promote ignorance of this unhealthy development and (B) draw attention away from the clubs who practice it. Primarily Celtic and now Snugboro. As you well know.

primarily celtic????? sorry but can everyone just cop on and realise that celtic never have paid any player, i'm sick of saying it, just because players want to come to a succesful team and go far in the f.a.i's and connaught cups doesn't mean there is money involved so get off this jealousy streak!!!! why would 7 players leave celtic so if they were getting money?? 2 players left after dykes was gone to go somewhere they could get money, get over it!!!! worry about your own club!!!

If you took time to actually read the posts rather than go into your customary indignant rant you�d realise the only Celtic person I mentioned being paid was Dykes. Going to deny that?? Also, I�m not in the slightest bit jealous of a club whose players �leave ..... to go somewhere they could get money�.

I�ve already said I don�t want to get involved in a discussion about finances, also, this thread is about the Chadwicks Cup final, which difficult as it may be to come to terms with, features neither Fahy Rovers nor Castlebar Celtic.

Well lets get this thread back on track......

Lets see the results of the last few games these two sides played against each other. Despite what a few papers have mentioned this week, S&F were relegated in 2006 so didn't bounce straight back up as has been suggested.

History
2006 Super League:
17/06/106 Snugboro United 1 1 Straide & Foxford Snugboro P. Foley
John McCarthy_______________Michael Smyth
26/03/106 Straide & Foxford 1 1 Snugboro United Green Road, Foxford P. Foley

2005 Super League
10/07/105 Snugboro United 2 1 Straide & Foxford Snugboro H. Loftus
David Hickey _______________Alan McDonnell
John McCarthy

10/04/105 Straide & Foxford 2 2 Snugboro United Green Road, Foxford H. Loftus
Declan Tigue (2)______________ Declan Shaw (2)

But this doesn't really tell much, as both sides have changed a lot since then. Indeed Gary Byrne was in goal for the Boro last time these sides met and now he's the S&F Custodian.

Head 2 Head
So lets look at their record against teams they've both played this year. Namely Ballina Town, Iorrais Aontaithe, Urlaur United.

Ballina Town 2-1 Snugboro United
Snugboro 0-3 Ballina Town
Straide & Foxford 4-2 Ballina Town

S&F come out on top here. Impressive in their victory. Whilst Snugboro were badly beaten at home to Ballina. The other Snugboro contest was 50/50 with a last minute goal deciding it.

Iorras 0-1 Snugboro United
Snugboro 3-1 Iorras
Iorras 3-3 S&F (S&F win on Pens)

Snugboro come out on top here. Impressively beating Iorras twice this season. S&F managed a draw away from home(a good result usually down in Carnenash). Could S&F benefit from the Penalty Practice?

S&F 3-0 Urlaur
Urlaur 0-2 S&F
Urlaur 0-2 Snugboro
50/50 here. Second string Snugboro struggled to overcome Urlaur but S&F had similiar result away from home.

Recent Form
Snugboro have played 3 games in last two months(mid season break does nothing for no one, should be abolished.) They've won 2 of them(5-1, 5-2) and lost one(2-4 to Celtic)

S&F have played 6 games in the last two months. They've won 5 (7-0, 2-0, 4-0, 4-2, 3-0) and lost one(3-0 to Kilmore)

S&F probably have an advantage because of match practice. But then again, Snugboro have had better opposition? Its a tough one. The more I think about it, the harder it is to call.

Final Verdict
Plenty of respect for S&F and if they win it, they will of played very well because the Boro is buzzing.
Snugboro 2-0 Straide & Foxford
Stevie G Man of The Match

Screw you, I'm bored on a Friday alright!

Two hardworking clubs who both fully deserve their place in Sundays final.

S&F have done themselves proud this season regardless of the result on Sunday.
Snugboro have also made great strides this season, shaking up the top end of the Super League and establishing themselves as a team to be taken very seriously next season.

With a bit of luck both clubs will build on their respective hard work and sucess this year and make the Super League a more competitive league as a result.

S&F 2-1.
