Across the road from the national school. It has been started alright, as with all good plans however, it has hit a few hitches along the way. More then likely it will be next season before junior soccer is played on it. Possibility that the underage will be on it before then.

I hate to sound pesimistic but that area is tiny! I cant see how you would fit a full pitch on that!

Is that the dressing rooms that started then beside it ??? Theres a big drop on the side and back of it which would be a nightmare for wide balls? Only my opinion not having a go before anyone says anything!

Thats the dressing rooms beside it alright. We'll be putting up those high poles & netting to avoid chasing balls.

Heard Reilly left the Gaffers spot in the Barony? Can anyone confirm. I heard he had a huge outburst at the AGM. I dont agree with this complaint that the season went on too long and players are tired. Yes the league did drag on but how the hell could teams be tired with the massive time breaks their were inbetween games!!! Their actually more rested than anything!! Daft excuse

Squad should be reistered by then so I'll get on to the powers that be and get a game on. Might have to be your place tho as I think there's an U16 tie in Charlestown. PM me details and we will arrange something.

Ay one know when fixtures are out. The league website is practicly empty? Doesnt give any clubs contacts, events , fixtures ect

**pinero** · 12/03/2010, 9:38 PM

they might be a big gap between games but players have to keep training in between and season goes on too long for clubs involved in out side competition all he was saying was to give these boys a rest at the end and push super league season back a bit, so teams would have games in november and december when they are involved in outside competition,also think mayo league officals dont listen to teams, fixture list out for season,games on bank holidays again, and that was one of things all clubs in every division asked for at workshop was to leave these free so much for listening to clubs,clubs have no input into running of league they decide like it or lump it.

I just checked the fixtures on the mayo league web-site and there's no sign of Snugboro B in the div 2 list. Are you guys entering a B team this year?

No. We lost half our A squad and half the B squad so we just have one squad to compete this year !! Ye will miss us!!!

**renovater** · 18/03/2010, 10:40 PM

Ya i heard that alright. Lots of teams stuggling.

What is going on? Can we have a sensible debate on this? Why has the interest been lost in soccer in Mayo with players. Lads seem only interested in drinking and partying.
No bodies committed anymore? What is the general thoughts at clubs? Haven spoken to managers this is going on at alot of other clubs so what is going on?? We have seen the depature of alot of managers and alot of this is due to their dismay at the level of commitment fellas are showing towards their clubs? Do people agree with this. Just this week John MOran stood down after only 3 weeks at Ballinrobe. Was this due to what im on about or what? This is the first season that we are all hearing rumours bout different big clubs not being able to field teams? We've all heard the stories. There has to be some truth? Any thoughts??
