QuotePeters looks like to playing Westport away next Sunday 6th round of F.A.I. Junior Cup.
Could you get results for me u-18 inter league games that Combined Counties Played. no they lost to Galway 2-0 How did they get on against Rosscommon?
Anyone have any predictions for the league and cups this year? Think this year will be very tight. Between three teams i think
willow
mullingar athletic
peters
Peters looks like to playing Westport away next Sunday 6th round of F.A.I. Junior Cup.

Yeah seen the draw, should be a good game.
CCFL beat Roscommon two one couple of weeks ago...
What are Westport like this year?
Westport will be strong well used to this competition, there is no weakness in the side.Originally Posted by spcorp
Will have big support.
Mayo play CCFL at Milebush Sat 24th Feb 2pm A Draw would do CCFL win for Mayo would be a must.would leave both teams on 4pts
but Mayo would have a better goal difference.
After weekend results seems to me that willow park can only throw away the league now..if peters win games in hand they have a shout...some of cup competions are interesting thou great draws in fai cup ..peters away to westport will def travel to watch that 1.I hear westport are as strong as ever..and if willow beat creystones a home draw against waterford bohs which would be the clubs biggest game at junior level ever..Great to see midland teams doin well in the all ireland..Any predictions in the junior cup matches..
Yeah westport are very strong heard they will be hard beaten, but sure isn't that what its all about.. Great to see the two teams doing well, Willow are flying!! but then again so were Peters this time last year and went out of everything in a couple of weeks. Its great to get a home draw, but I'm sure Peters will do well they have enough experience in the side, its about time they went beyond the last 32 they are knocking on the door for years.
Willow 1 Waterford bohs 1 bohs after extra time
Westport 1 St Peters 3
Was wondering are u involved with peters and do they expect to bring a support to westport like a supporters bus or that,,im sure westport will have big support...
no not involved just go to games in senior division, it seems to be improving, which is good. Don't think peters have much support, doesn't seem to be many at there games. I'm sure if you contacted one of the team i suppose they would know.
Like spcorp says there aren't many at the home st peters games so if the get get numbers while welcome it would prove how sunshine Athlone football supporters are. Westport on the other hand always bring busses to away games (2 or three to Cork) and I believe they could have an attendance many eL first division teams would envy for the FAI cup game with Peters. They had 80% of the crowd in St Mels against Peters in 06.
If I remember last year Peters went out of the two big cups in quick sucession and then they went through a poor run of league results an the CCFL Div 1. Should that happen again, would there be enough momentum to catch up with the league leaders?
Willow seem to have the the edge having beaten Peters in Sept, Peters came back strong with some good results including a one nil over Mullingar Athletic who seemed to be in the mix until then.
The CCFL is like most leagues, two or three at the top and two or three could go down leaving the mid table teams to fight out possible domestic cups. Good league this year! Some of the Refs should retire however.
True i know what u are sayin about sunshine support but most clubs have that was just thinking maybe players family wifes friends etc.....surely athlone is big enough to have support for there junior sides.a bus load of supporters would surely give the players a huge boost.,was at that game in st mels few years back westport support was great..i think peters have a league game this week so will be a chance to gain some ground on willow as willow have cup game in dublin,,
I think it will be fairly straight forward until St Peters play Willow in what will be a championship Clincher and great PR for the league. Good to see both sides going well in the cup, I hope they avoid eachother beacuse it would mean the cup would lose 1 Athlone Team.
I see the CCFL didn't put forward an Oscar Traynor Team and instead divided up the budget as prize money for the respective divisions. Prize money in the form of gear Vouchers! Didn't agree with it, as one business stands to gain hugley (10K) out of it. Any opinions on that?
Glad to see I have help to get your thread moving.Westport will have big support , you could say they have the 12th man.
You might shed a light who the Combined County's are, I know they are in the midlands, what areas do they cover is it youth/League come Junior or do they have combined committee.
They might have the 12th man, but hopefully it might be the midlands turn to bring a major trophy back to Athlone..
Combined Counties are Westmeath, Offaly, Laois, North Tipp and others mixed in, its a very big league which has i think over 10 divisions. They cover over 35's, senior, youths, ladies.
Think its a disgrace they didn't put in an Oscar Traynor team, its the same stuff though, they never get the right manager. Anyway the best players are in Athlone except for maybe one or two..
Pick the right man and organise the set up properly and the players will come!!
SPCORP, You seem fairly confident Peters can pull it off in the cup, how about the league? Willow have the advantage and having beaten them must now be favorites as it is there to throw away. As was said previously, if SP go out of the cup, I fear alot of steam that was built up from the cup run might disapate.
Does anyone know what willows opponents are are like in the cup, what league etc. Sorry if it's been posted before.
The CCFL is quite a well orgainsed league but the powers that be must be disappointed that the league title seems to end up west of the Shannon.
St Peters 04/05, 05/06, First Div 07/08 plus a couple of cups in the middle somewhere. You seem fairly close to SP spcorp, can you enlighten me with the correct roll of hounour?
the league is in willow's hands to lose, very strong side but to be honest they were very lucky beating peters that day, but thats what makes champions!!
Cups should be interesting, but again cant' see any further than the two teams, i've seen them all this season so far.
I hear sp are working hard, but sure you never know so are willow.. Look at the league last year it was athlone teams that won the first 4 divisions and even the ladies!! Your fairly accurate with the titles but theres no future in history...
How did willow fair up in wicklow?
willow park won 3 2
Any news on ST Peters running a bus to Westport. Heard they are pulling out of the second string fixture for the same weekend to allow people to travel.
