Regardless of the results, having all our female teams in a cup final is remarkable
Good wins for Girl's U16 side who were to strong for Partry, boys U12B who had another great away win over Charlestown Ath, boys U12 who hit Ballinasloe Town for six in the SFAI Cup and the Girl's U12 who booked their place in the Mayo Cup final after a brilliant 5-1 victory over a stong Kilmore side and become the third Celtic Girl's team this season to reach the Mayo Cup Final. U12C team went down 4-2 to Westport Utd B
Regardless of the results, having all our female teams in a cup final is remarkable
The Boys U16 side had an impressive 11-1 win over Corrib Celtic in the SFAI Cup today and with new signing Irish International Liam Flatley from Manulla to be added to the team they will be hoping to have a good run in this competition. Boys U18 Bees were defeated 5-1 by Partry and U18 were given a walkover by Claremorris which is disappointing. Good weekend overall for the club
U12 Girl's team have gone 6 pts clear on top of the Mayo League from Kilmore & Manulla after receiving a walkover from Claremorris who were unable to field a team this weekend. Celtic still has to play both teams as well as Killala and Conn Rangers and hopefully can lift the clubs first Girl's League title of the season and following in the foot steps of the women's team.
celtic up to their old tricks taking the best players from the smaller clubs again.
Yeah, big bad Celtic making the world a worserer place for everybody
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Anyway why wouldnt players want to play at the business end of sfai and conn cups if they are good enough.
Good weekend for youths teams with the U17 hitting a very good Ballyheane for five coming out on top 5-2, U12B with possibly the result of the weekend when knocking out Division league leaders Claremorris 4-3 in the Mayo Cup. U-14 girls had a good win over a gallant Partry side (great set up for a club which was formed in 2004). U12A advanced in the Mayo Cup after an entertaining game against Celtic C.

I would say Manulla would be insulted to be classified as a small club. The Manulla team Liam Flatley left had two players from Ballina Town and Ballyglass and one from S&F and Swinford in it. We as a club will always welcome new players and we have no problem when players move on to a higher level. That’s the name of the game. Some people would like the GAA rule. How many of the top clubs in England have local lads playing in them, this is the way football operates like it or not.
Best of luck to Jeremy Dee and the Women's team in the new FAI Bus Eireann National Women's league which kicks off on Sunday away to Wexford Youths, also the best of luck in the Mary Walsh Cup Final. Good win for the seniors in the FAI Cup at the weekend and now face a tricky tie away to the in form S&F Utd.
"
I think the player Liam Flatley who came from so called smaller club you refered them as, Had no choice, I thing its called" big ego" (farther who insisted he should play for a bigger club)
Hate the idea, every time player who opps to play for Celtic,is acused of persusing the player. Yet there is no foundation for your suggestion.
maybe player wanted to move in this case but when ya have bigger clubs asking players to sigh for them and then county and provisional coachs telling players to move to biggermore succesfull clubs(if ya pick out best players in each club you going to be succesfull),doesnt give small clubs a chance to compete,(maybe i am wrong)
Well done to the Women. Won 5-1 at home to Shamrock Rovers. 4 points from 2 games. Promising start
They were just outstanding. Well done also to the U12 Girls who beat Manulla 5-1 in the Mayo Cup final on Saturday which ended of a great season with them playing 17 games and winning all. U11 boys had a great 5-2 win in Mervue in the SFAI Cup.
Bad day for the 18s in Renmore on Sunday. 2-0 up but lost out 3-2 after a late winner in the Conn Cup.
17s made it a better week with a strong performance v Strand Celtic in the 17s FAI Youth Cup. Great passing from the lads and never looked like they weren't controlling the game/ Game finished 4-1. Conn Rangers away in a very tough 3rd round tie.
Good day today with the men’s team advancing in the FAI Junior Cup following a hard fought but deserved victory over a determined S&F side. From the reports I got it was all Celtic but we just could not break down the well marshalled home defence and they took the lead with a ricochet shot and it looked if they would hold on for a famous win, that was until Mackey levelled the game with 10 minutes to go to force extra-time. Dec Flynn got the winner. Heard next up is away to Newcastle West which will be difficult. Women side remain unbeaten with a 2-2 draw against Cork Women FC, which was a great result considering who was missing. Goals scored by Aileen Gilroy and Shaunagh Jackson.
Not to sure were you are coming from Pinero,to suggest that Provisional/County coach are telling players to move to bigger clubs is wide of the mark.Coaches are only concerned that they remain fit and play or train when requested.
Are Castlebar one of the teams applying for the First Division this year? There appears to be at least five clubs interested, and you only left the A Championship because it was ending.
Not that I heard. It hard enough for the players who work weekends to get time off for local games cant see it working at the moment. We would love to be involved but money would be another big factor etc.

Great day for the club today with our 12s, 14,s 16s and 18s all progressing in the cup. All but the 16s are in their final (16s played last 8 today to reach the semis). Great achievement. Well done all!
