Westport United FC

**Thunderblaster** · 10/04/2007, 6:12 PM

Sunday morning at 12:00. The proud Red and Black goes into battle with the Green and White for a vital three points in the biggest derby match in Mayo football in the Theatre of Dreams. Westport may not be at full strength but we relish the underdogs tag.

Check out the new Westport United website on www.westportunited.com. It is very good and it is going to be officially launched at the Connacht Cup 20th Anniversary Reunion Dinner on Friday 27th.

TB, just viewed your new club westsite, fairplay thats as good as any club site, at your level on the net.

Well, 0-0 against Celtic.

Wasn't at the game. What was the lowdown? Saw the second half of the B team last night and I must say it was a great comeback from 0-2 down at half time to win 5-3 against Ballyglass. James "Atmazidis" Fahy grabbed a hat trick (a certain supporter vowed that he would stay off the gargle if that would happen!!

) while Tomas McGing and Ronan O'Malley capped off the scoring. Great to see some of the younger guys given a chance with Micheal Gibbons in goal, Christopher Ryder at right back and Tomas McGing on the right side of midfield. There was the experience from Eamon Daly and Joe Kelly in the middle of the park. There was a good crowd too!!

was at the match on sunday and to be honest it was as bad a derby game as i've seen for some time.neither team seemed to have any great fluidity about their play at all although i'd have to say that i thought that westport undoubtedly had the better of celtic without ever really creating all that much bar a fantastic run from colin navin in the first half where he won two tackles before playing a one-two and setting up david hoban who narrowly missed.that was about it though-was hardly worth the fiver admitance.

When did Eamon Daly start to play with the port. I thought he was with us still. I know he has a connection with Celtic but I dont know what.

**irishyop** · 18/04/2007, 8:25 AM

Eamon left Celtic this season, he is working in Westport so he said it is easier to make training.

have to agree with you. Celtic hate the fact you won Jnr, F.A.I. Cup. And they didn't.
and you can be sure that the Gray One Will die trying!!!

Is your affiliation to your club or your league? You seem to have a thing about celtic and dykes. Should'nt you be getting behind all the mayo clubs in any competition, regardless of who you dislike? Surely the F.A.I. junior cup is the target for all clubs, not just celtic? Shout from the rooftops what you think a whole clubs opinions are because it sounds good? People on this forum have very short memories. I seem to remember westport actually losing the semi-final that year. I dont ever hear you on about that? Does that tarnish their achievement in your eyes?

i must admit when we got knocked out of the fai (ballyheane )when we had that great run 2 year ago, i was routing for Westport or Celtic to go as far as they could in the competition, when it comes to the Fai its not about the local rivals and hoping they get knocked out, i ask the question ,would you like to see a team like Pike Rovers or Ballymun win it out,?? or mabye a colleague you possible work with playing with top mayo team who has the chance to bring amature soccer's greatest prize trophey down through the border of mayo, bringing with it acknowledgment of how far Mayo Soccer has progressed, and bright future it holds....!! If you think a certain section of celtic supporters think like this then i suggest they are seeing Mayo Soccer through a small, bitter keyhole...!!!
