Westport United FC

[Closing Time]

It is up to each and every manager to compose a match report really for the site. I don't personally know how good they are on Microsoft Word or Outlook Express.

Its a pity as the only teams to get a mention are the A team and the ones Kenny Gannons looks after.

I'm sure that any kid that logs onto the website would like to see their name mentioned. I would agree that it is not good enough the lack of reports on all teams within the club and it gives an impression that there is a lack of a coherent structure. Hopefully, this may be addressed at the Saturday afternoon AGM on the 9th. I don't know what the Leveller or Quay Heart might add onto this.

Yep, he signed for St. Kevin's.

I heard that the U.18's lost 1-0 at home to Erris United and lost 2-1 the previous week to Athenry. Does anyone know much about the team this season? U.17's are away to Mervue on Sunday afternoon at 2:00.

[the grape vine]

Yep, he signed for St. Kevin's.

Utd one of two clubs in Mayo who could cope with lossing such a good player.

That very much depends on who can fill in the gaps behind.

Utd have more than enough to cover at centre back, Joe, Peter, Lovejoy, Horkan, McL & centre midfield, Danny, Kennendy, Horkan, Mcl, Hoban and up front O'Malley (x2), Hoban, Cameron, Horkan. It still would be better if he was still with Utd. Is he gone for good or will he be back in the summer.

[Thunderblaster]

Is he gone for good or will he be back in the summer.

I think that we may have seen the last of him.

Mossy have to agree with you.
Cream always rises to the top, it wasn't long ago when Westport was in a mess had there B TEAM thrown out of the league for fielding unreg players.
they are still a team. Club has yet to be formed, may be when they move out to the country, where there no traffic lights might be different.
We will all have to wait and see.

Just took that quote from the Ballyheane thread onto the Westport United thread. On analysis, the reference dates back to 1997, but the B team were never thrown out of the league. The club at the time got fined and points deducted, didn't pay the fine, got suspended, which meant that Ballinasloe Town got a walkover from Westport United at the time in the Connacht Cup. A meeting was called between Westport United and the Mayo AFL, mediated by Deputy Michael Ring TD and the result was that the fine was reduced but the points deduction remained. The club declined to field a B team in view of the events of November 1997.

Just to let you know that the Liverpool branch of the Westport United Supporters Club would like to say hello to the Coveys back in Ireland.

With the lack of facilities, it is probably like a game of twister trying to accomodate the teams at the moment. But, even with facilities, there needs to be the support of volunteers as well to underpin this.

Discussion is about the lack of reports on the different teams on the website.

[Thunderblaster]

I wonder what will be said about foot.ie at the AGM this year? Last year, there were warnings to anyone posting material that were not in the best interests of the club. Would that warning be echoed again this year?

Any predictions for the Westport United underage teams for 2008? Who do you think will do well?

U-12 should be between, Ballina, Celtic, Claremorris, K&K & Utd
U-13 (if full teams played) Celtic, Utd & Claremorris
U-14: Ballina,Celtic & K&K
U-15: Ballina
U-16: Celtic?
U-18: Celtic

I checked out the Mayo News website. No report on game from Sunday.

U-13 (if full teams played) Celtic, Utd & Claremorris
U-14: Ballina,Celtic & K&K
U-15: Ballina
U-16: Celtic?
U-18: Celtic

I'd agree with most of that. I'd put Ballina Town in at 13s and 16s too though
