We were due to play a Cup game on a Thursday evening and between injuries from a Sunday game and lads working away in Dublin, we notified the club involved, the referee and the league that we were unable to fulfill the fixture in advance. We could have made excuses, we could have been dishonest but we were upfront with everyone concerned and we were fined €300!! I find it hard to understand how one club that decide to call off a game under false pretences get fined €100 and we get slapped with a fine of €300. The punishment hardly fits the crime, or at least if it does, surely it should apply to all teams equally. For not filling out the scorecard with capital letters, writing initials instead of full name or putting a "C" beside your Captains name carries a fine of €40, not attending a meeting at Headquarters carries a fine of €100 also.
God knows it's hard enough to raise money in the present climate.

Ballina utd v Conn Rangers Away
Snugboro v Moy villa Home
Swinford B v Glenisland Draw

I would not let this lye Phoenix. Appeal to the league if this is true. If the fines are as you say they are then that is shocking and unbelieveable. Your club has every grounds to appeal and id urge you to do so? If this was a parking fine would you personaly accept it?? ..... Well then your club shouldnt either. The rules do state that an unfufilled fixture is €300 which you may not be able to dispute but your argument should be how Ballinrobe where only fined €100 and clearly indulged in falsefication

I know Pixie. I have no problem with the €300 fine if that's what the rulebook states, but surely it should be the same rules for a small club as a bigger club.

Snugboro v Moy villa......2-1, moyvilla in a bad patch

Swinford B v Glenisland ...Away

ballina utd v conn= away, snugboro b v moy villa= away, swinford b v glenisland= away.

Conn rangers 4-1 Ballina Utd,ballina got man sent off in second half for the usual illdiscipline,cant see anything but division 3 for ballina,played no football and had one shot on goal

Snugboro 1-0 Moy Villa

Villa Had man sent off. Hard fought victory. Defense soilid again

Swinford 1 Glenisland 1
Good game, Swinford played some lovely football, however were unable to convert numerous chances until they got a last minute goal to salvage a draw.

Im certainly not one for making accusations without hard evidence but i'd have a fair idea myself but it doesn't matter now. Its over and the ML haven't a clue!!!

We get fined also for not having adequate fencing on one side of the pitch even after passing a pitch inspection at the start of the season!!

But its alright for Erris 'B'(this past weekend July 4th.)to have planks of timber right on the touchline where one of our players nearly slid into and could have injured himself. Why isn't this reported?? A complete and utter joke.

I think the Moy Villa dispute has turned out to be a mistake on the Mayo Leagues part so no action will be taken there. So we can drop that one.

The Charlestown one although not totally closed, looks to be a non runner also. The length of time taken to come to a conclusion would suggest that any 'wrongdoing' will be hard to prove. Personally, i believe, Charlestown as a club didn't do anything wrong intentionally. So in the spirit of the law rather than the letter of it, I'd forgive them.

I prefer football matches, leagues, cups, disputes to be settled on the pitch, and bureaucracy, whilst necessary shouldn't be a determining factor. So lets all forget about it, and get on with playing football. May the better team win.
