killala surely favourites for the drop??? Only good thing about them is their pitch
With the season around a month away, how do people think who will be challenging for the title and promotion. What teams will struggle for survival. Expect Westport will be favourites for the title. This will more than likely a quiet thread this year with the Conn Rangers gone into the Super league.

And their ability to avoid the drop.
I think Killala might do alright, surely the only club in the league paying big money for an outsider to come in and manage.... See it as the wrong way to go tho cause next thing other clubs will be doing it
Fixtures released today. Looking forward to the season kicking off now. Cant wait to see if a team unloads the bench with 5 subs in the last 10 mins of a game with the new rule. Could really turn a game but a bit daft. Pretty sure Killala will never have 5 subs to use in a game. Haha. Claremorris for the title - Castlebar to go down IMO.
Any word where Celtic B are playing this season, on the main pitch or on the astra turf.
What's the story with Pat Quigley getting voted out? Sounds like there's plenty more to it.
With the start of a new season good luck to all players, managers and supporters for the season ahead.
Predictions
Champions - Moy Villa
Runners up - Westport Utd. B
Relegation - Glenhest and Knock/Kiltimagh
This weeks predictions
Claremorris V Swinford----------Home
Glenhest V Moy Villa-------------Away
Fahy Rovers V Westport B-------Away
Castlebar Celtic B V Kilt/Knoc --Home
Killala V Partry--------------------Draw
I agree. Villa haven't a hope if winning the division. Glenhest and KK will stay up too. Hard to know who will go down. No obvious candidates like Urlaur were last year. Will be dodgy at the bottom I feel.
Killala 2 - 1 Partry Athletic
The good pre-season continued yesterday, 1st half goals from Terp. and Heffo gave us a 2-0 h.t lead. Both players missed good chances to increase the lead in the 2nd half. Great defending in the second half when we came under severe pressure but they could only pull 1 back. Good start, next up another tough match against against Moy Villa.

Here's an interesting one. Only one of the teams that played the 7's won at the weekend - Achill. Albeit Manulla B didn't play and of course Manulla A had a tougher cup match. Thought the teams that played all Winter would have been sharper and a bit fitter and stormed the first game at least.
I think Partry maybe played a bit too much astro and it worked against them. After the 7's and all the pre season games being on astro they weren't coping with the bounce of the ball on grass (even though the Killala pitch was in great shape there is still a big difference in the run of the ball). Killala were sharper on the ball in the first half and deserved their win because they scored the goals and defended magnificently in the second half when Partry put them under unbelievable pressure and a lot of other clubs would have crumbled.
The Blue Moon is shining on the world tonight!!!!
We would have played during the winter on our astroturf, we played 4 preseason friendlies, one of them was on the astroturf in Celtic. Ye missed a good chance in the second half as well as the 2 we missed, It was a good start keeping up the good pre-season but another tough one on Sunday away to Moy Villa, people has said that they are alot weaker this season.
Weekend Predictions
Westport Utd. B V Partry Athletic - Home
Swinford V Glenhest Rovers - Home
Knock/Kiltimagh V Claremorris - Away
Fahy Rovers V Castlebar Celtic B - Home
Moy Villa V Killala - Draw
Moy Villa 1 - 3 Killala
Continued the good start to the season with good performance, goals in the 1st half from Heffo and Kyle gave a 0-2 lead at ht, could have added 2 or 3 more in the first half. Villa pulled 1 back but Aaron secured the win. Home next week against Swinford, always tough.
Mount Falcon Closed by the Refs and now Attymass Closed. Attymass was supposed to be worse condition than Mount Falcon. If thats true than it was f**ked altogether . Very disrespectful and down right dangerous for these clubs to be so flippant about health and safety let alone respect for the local game
We played on the Villa pitch yesterday, grass could have been shorter and it was uneven, Con hawk denied that Mount Falcon was closed. I suggested last season for the ML to introduce a competition on pitch quality, they said that they would look at it. I would think that Killeen sports would sponsor it, i know they sponsor already but this would be goodd for every one.
