Fahy 3 - 1 Snugboro, Snuggies getting one with 3 mins to go.
No reason to even doubt Swinford will finish in the bottom 2 (based on 3 games playing against ye last year). We've proved in our first year that even a small club with a small community can cut it in the super league. We will be even stronger next year and hopefully not dropping the points so easily as we did against Westport twice and Celtic. Any game we won we deserved it I think to be fair.
Swinford are a decent football outfit who go well in premier division. Dont think ye have the physical attributes at the moment in your squad and one man in particular who plays off the strikers seems to be the main man. Not saying ye wont do any good and nice to see another good side coming in. All the best...
As for us we'll probably finish on a high and bring back the cup to Westport from Ballina![]()
He's referring to the proposed eight-team Super League for the year after next. (Can anyone tell me if that has been given the go-ahead or do the clubs have to vote on it?) Although strictly speaking, even if it does happen, there is no guarantee that four teams will go down, it all depends on whether a b team finishes in the top two. And that's happened a lot recently.
In fairness I see mossy's point, he never mentioned anything about two teams going down, he just predicted who he thought would be in a 'dog fight' and who would be 'scrapping' and he had more than four teams in those categories. Swinford seemed to take it that he was under the illusion that only two were going down but thats not actually in his post if you read it.....
not alot of talk about the mayo game, was anyone at it? good 1st win at home.
Yeah, no one seems interested. I tried to get some reaction to the squad and some idea of how people thought they would do but got no response. Decent win against an apparently decent side but wasn't there myself. Big contingent of Westport players and quite a few players on the bench I hadn't heard of (!). There's a match report on the mayo league site:
http://inform.fai.ie/League/Clubs/po...atestnews.aspx
which really could do with having a less stupid address.
Maybe you should try the main site www.mayofootball.ie and then click on the Mayo Juniors League
From the report mayo seemed well on top but need to do a bit better when they come to play galway. Agreed on both accounts with a high contingent from westport and unkown players on the bench, but westport have a high number of quality players. the starting 11 is prob the strongest in the mayo league right now.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who didn't recognise all the squad members, and wondered if someone could help put a club to the names for me?

Actually i ended up getting most of them eventually. I should know kelly, but who is Coleman??
Any predictions for the weekend?
Cant see Ballina slipping up at this stage but Fahy wont be giving them anything softly, Westport should put one over on Iorras but it might be to little to late. Will be at Ballina game so hope the weather holds up... any chance it might be called off?
Well done to Ballina on winning the Super league today in Beleek. They thrashed Fahy Rovers and were really up for it. Westport lost to Erris anyway (or were losing three nil) so it wouldn't have affected the end result. Both teams will be looking forward to next season, the last ten team super league for the time being.
