Masters Cup

I wondered if anyone from Swinford knew why they don't have a team in the draw for the Masters Cup?? Only team not in it. Have they pulled out or is it a mistake?

i've heard since what it was. didn't know at the time that it was a non-football related incident

We had a team in the Masters League but didn't put it forward to play it in the Masters cup - no other reason

Did you ever get an explanation of what happened.

still waiting for official word, phone calls were made, where it was implied that the only reason it is happening is because the Mayo League feel that castlebar b have to compete at a higher level. its no wonder small teams are folding left right and centre. they would rather a z team from a town in the league than small village team. at the end of the day everyone wants to play football but it should be a level playing field for everyone

Lets hope that Castlebar Celtic B gets relegated and Mullraney wins League 1 and the small minded Mayo league with egg on their face.

Thats what we want to know as well. The Mayo League so far lack the backbone to give us a full explaination.

Well I hope your club does not let this issue go easily. Too many of these incidents have been swept under the carpet.

**the wise one** · 09/04/2011, 10:41 PM

anyone got full results so far

Why wasnt there a member of the club association there to voice concerns? As always quoted by someone on this forum, theres no point in complaining year in year out unless a radical change is done to the "caretakers" commitee, who appear to look after their own back door patches. The Mayo League would seem to have a higher maintenace figure compared to many other larger leagues, and higher affiliation/registration fees, why is this? does anyone know?

Hate to say it, but your clubs vote them in every year, do you have abetter solution

On a few points above I can confirm that Celtic indeed had 2 representatives of the Junior B team at that coaching course (the two managers!), and it WAS made compulsory for every club. The Mayo League informed clubs of that. This could be why the leagues were structured like they were. A bit odd to say the least since Celtic were beaten by K&K last year. Basically means that game was unnecessary and irrelevant in hindsight... Shame for K&K as it was a great win.

I don't think Celtic 'B' will get relagated either to be honest. It's a strong team and should finish in a respectable position in the Division. I hope so anyways
