Fahy Rovers beat Ballyheane 3-1 tonight. Good performance, well taken goals. To be fair to them, they had a lot of possession on the first half but looked toothless until Ger Burke came on half way through the second half. I presume he was injured or something, because he was by far their most dangerous player. Ballyheane had the best of the first half but must have been gutted to see us score against the run of play two minutes before half time. We ran the second half and Joe Keane and Pat Mc Nally at centre half had fine games. If Joe Keane doesn't get an Oscar Traynor call up it's a travesty, he has out-played strikers from serious teams in this division consistently.
Ballyheane will feel hard done by, they had two goals disallowed for offside and one of them seemed fine, but we had a goal disallowed too, which was patently legitimate. The fact that their was no linesmen didn't help, and I'm starting to think it's a matter of who you are. Have Westport played a game without linesmen this season?? A ref making decisions which could change a match from fifty yards is not good enough. And I mean that for both teams.
Anyway, Fahy have made their point early, the insinuations of long ball tactics and being overly-physical are unfounded, and always were. It's early doors, but Fahyhave set a benchmark for the rest of their season

Well done yesterday, I was one of the people who thought, you wouldn't mix it. well you proved me wrong, hope it continues.
your report by the way 10 out of 10 you made a lot of good points. Lets hope the man in Black takes a good look at him self, ask was he up to it.
well done once again.
If Joe Keane doesn't get an Oscar Traynor call up it's a travesty, he has out-played strikers from serious teams in this division consistently.
Is he good enough for the oscar traynor squad? maybe this year with alot of castlebar players gone. I'd say the mayo team will be made up of westport and ballina players with probably stevie gavin. Any word on who the managers is this year or is kilkelly still going to take it?
In relation to Joe Keane for the Oscar Traynor team, i'm still unsure. i've seen him play this season and he is excellent when the ball is pumped down on top of him, he'll clear it all day, however he's not so good when the balls are played down the channels and he's turned. The game i seen him play this happened a few times and he looked only average. very weak on his left foot too.
You say he has outclassed strikers from serious teams consistently in this division. Teams might be serious but the strikers i don't think so. Who are these strikers.
Celtic have Russel Gibbons, Sean McHale with A team
Kilmore, doubt they have any serious strikers
Snugboro have Sean Curry, Paul Curry gone to Sligo
Ballyheane don't have anyone worth talking about
Save Dessie for Westport who has he faced..................
Did Dessie not score against ye?
Wait until season is over before you pass judgement....
great result for ye on Sat night............
