Well today they went back to winning ways with 5-1 win over crossmolina away.
it there first time to beat them in 4 attempts.
At lease they should be out of any relegation battles. and look for ward next year with the return of the Prodigal Son

was the cup game closer than you think??????????????????????????
4-nil,and i believe the ref was easy on 1 or 2 players

will leave the ref out of it, he has a job to do. he may not get all his decissions right,nor do players alike.
However the game it self was awell deserved victory for Westport.
And a little man like Robert Coyne wants to get his house in order

Dont kid yourself no one man is bigger than a club, he certainly played his part,carry the team no.
I think that has being proven all ready base on results.but he would be welcome back and he would be addition to any team

Nope and the contents of the meeting are not going public either. Very sensitive stuff.

Wasn't at the game but I heard that Westport just wiped the floor with Ballyheane with the Gaffer and the Louisburgh Lion netting, the latter getting a hat trick. Lovejoy made his comeback. Cannot comment on the referee.

A coaching session with the U.14s in McConville Park had to be cancelled today because of broken glass on the pitch and the splinters were lethal. This place is allegedly the site of drinking parties and whoever performed this action must examine his/her actions for this disgraceful act.

Good to see the boys roll on. Beat Ballina Town 2-0 with the Gaffer and the Louisburgh Lion netting; scraped past Snugboro 2-1 with the Gaffer and Keano scoring; waltzed past Kiltimagh/Knock United 5-1 with Spiderman getting a brace, Vinny, Louisburgh Lion and the Gaffer polishing off. Last but not least, Kenno and Makelele both scoring in the 2-1 win over Claremorris on Sunday, the latter's first goal since coming from Corrib Rangers.

**Thunderblaster** · 20/06/2007, 9:12 PM

Nice to see David Horkan back for the red and black.

Primarily individual awards. Westport United U.14B won the Dalton Inn U.14 League South unbeaten and the U.11s won the Aaron McDonnell tournament in Ballina.

Beat Manulla 3-2 in a tempermental game of football with the Gaffer, Spiderman and Flawless netting. Heard that the B team were outstanding in their 6-0 win over S&F United.

A disappointing season for you then. Any chance of sliverware this season. Ballina look good for the U-12 & U-14 titles. I wonder can they bring home a Connacht title in these age groups?

Your U-16 team had a good win over Ballina last night. Were you at the game or have a report?

Westport United have not dominated in the trophy stakes in underage football for over ten years now. Ballina Town to win a Connacht Cup? To be realistic, you should gauge your side against Castlebar Celtic, Mervue United and Salthill Devon. If your team is stronger that all three and consistently beating teams of that standard, you have a great chance. Also you need a bit of luck. Sadly for Westport, I don't think we are up to that level to win the competition.

There weren't too many clear cut chances in the game. Westport over played their killer passes. Apart from the goal, the best chance in the game came from Sean Rocliffe, who headed over the bar.
