U.18s were beaten 3-1 at home to Salthill Devon. Had chances themselves to nick a result. Denied what appeared to be a peno in the second half.
Ladies beat Celtic 2-1.

What are the Salthill Devon team like. I know that it would not be a great Westport U-18 team (two defeats to Celtic U-18 B)compared to some of the past teams. Was young Tropey playing, a good player.Any of the U-18's playing with the Senior team for the Connacht Cup.Originally Posted by Thunderblaster
How will this improve the Westport Youths. You can not make a silk purse out off a sow's ear. I see noting wrong with the coaching methods or playing style of the Utd youth teams. If you don't have the players all the coaching in the world will not make them world beaters. Yes I agree you need to have the right coaching standards but I presume these are already in place.
Salthill were sharper than Westport and had a bit more savvy. Westport grafted well, working very hard, but the finess wouldn't be great. There are a couple of good players but some technically weak players on the squad. I wouldn't think that Salthill would be as good as Celtic's U.18s. Mr. Torpey did play, starting off up front before being brought back to midfield at half time. None of that squad played against Heatmerchants.

Passing of information and ideas onto the delegation at the meeting. Improve awareness with people involved as to what is happening in the world of development. Westport United are taking on the NIB FAI Summer Camp in August and the meeting was mainly based on that.
Coaching methods in the club is a mixture of old school and up to date methods, depending on the philosophy of each coach. Playing style is okay; the best style being with the U.16s, particularly when John Moran was involved.
Players are going to have their limits in terms of progression anyway. Progressive coaching would make the players better than if they got no coaching.
The right coaching standards are slowly coming onstream.

Took a peek at the Westport Youth Activities AGM. Pretty constructive and positive meeting. Some interesting points on the indoor football on a Saturday.

Wishing the Youths the best of luck in their new strategy. It would be great if clubs like Ballina, Westport, Ballinrobe, & K&K could compete with Celtic at all age groups not just at one or two. Claremorris are a good example of the way forward. It is not good for Mayo Youth football if the only team to beat is Celtic to win a title. Celtic could win all the leagues in 2006 (have already won U-12, U-14 & U-16) They have also achieved this in 2003.It would be great to have 3 or 4 teams competing in each league and it might stop players wanting to come to Celtic to win trophies.
Any news from the A.G.M. I,sopose you will not be in Castlebar to nite thunder
just as well you will have to find that unity, to talk about.
Well I hope that projet you talk about building your club house and pitches is on the table.or was it bridges?
Top table remains the same, the gaffer remains for another season and anybody caught writing derogatory posts about Westport United FC will face severe disciplinary action by the club with offenders, found guilty, subject to a life ban from the club and all activities from within. Very interesting motion at the meeting proposed by the PRO and was touched on pretty well by Pat Duffy concerning underage football. Let's rally behind the club!!

I dont think anyone outside westport football club is writing derogatory post about your club.But constructive crittizm is another matter, you may view this differantly.But to prove it is another matter in banning someone is over the top.
You appear to have gone on the extreme or are you members of the commist party. what happen to free speech. or is it in westport, all that is written first must be senored.
Any how did you achieve your objective that is to unite your junior club with your youths as you were putting forward.to have yts on the junior committee
How did quay heart get on? was he baned for his input to .ie
is O'Connor still the Manager?
I think you would need to be a saint Padra PieoCannot be in two places at the one time. The mathematics of distance over body size cannot give me a formula to allow this to happen!!
Members of the committee and supporters were very angry at what was written on foot.ie and leaks out of meetings. It was also proposed that any future leak from the club, members are asked to go to committee members to name and shame and the offender will face disciplinary hearings.
The motion was to set up a formal underage sub-committee to administer and develop the game in Westport with representatives on the main committee and two from the sub-committee would represent the club at delegates meetings.

But I dont remember anyone putting up info from your club, only to say Quay Heart was angry at the way the club was being run, by the junior Committee.
Even he gone to ground.
Good to hear to have sorted yts and juniors committee.
Now you can see where the club is coming from. Westport United has no problems dealing with constructive and coherent criticism. There is free speech and there is a legal remit to what is free speech. Westport United doesn't pursue a policy of supression of opinion but Westport United will act if they feel that the best interests of the club are threatened by innuendo.

Hay that good to here, I was getting worried there for awhile
Same Rule was Brought in in another Mayo Club. I wont say who for fear of being Kicked OutHowever i have to say that i think Foot.ie is an excellent benefit to the league and relations between clubs.
But i do believe that all posters have the right to speek their mind. at the end of the day it is a forum just like a dating site
Not a newspaper but a website,but still subject to laws of "Libel" and "Defamation" so its not a free-for-all here to say whatever you'd like (just because you're not using your own name) so think before you post.
Anyone free on Sunday for a big game? You can make no mistake in travelling to Claremorris to see Westport United V Claremorris on Sunday at 2:00 in the Mayo U.16 Cup semi final. The winners will take on the winners of Castlebar Celtic and Urlaur United in the final and a possible rematch of the final won by, yours truly!!
