0-0 classic in Manulla tonight. We did the pressing, Manulla defended in numbers and rarely committed bodies forward. Just have our noses on the summit but we have won nothing yet. Keep our focus and belief, the points should manifest itself.

Presume this is a caught with my trousers down remark

What happened the Galactico circus last night ? Heard ye huffed and puffed and couldn't blow the house down
Was Manulla's ever reliable No. 12 as predisposed to them as ever ?
Ye still have the easier run in and should easily win all the remaining matches

**Playfair** · 18/07/2008, 1:33 PM

Manulla's no 12?
Good game last night, dont know how Westport didn't score though, camped in Manulla's half for most of the second half.

Relax, he is only joking.

The Port's victory over the Heane has probably handed them the title as their remaining games look winnable. The Port had most of the possession but the Heane had most of the chances and if Ashley's or Sheridan's headers just before half time had gone in then it would probably be a different story.
Alan McHugh's hiting the post and then watching agonisingly as it crept across the Goal line could also be termed unfortunate.

However how fitting that the games best player by far should get the goal.
I always admired Scahill and thought him the port's No. 1 but this lad Horkan is better and that is saying something. If he could only add a bit of verve then Junior football would certainly lose him.

The Ref was unseen - best compliment you can give.
The Port's fans were in good form and thankfully little of that silly abuse was witnessed.
The best footballing team in Mayo by far and if the keeper keeps improving and the forwards get the ball more quicker then another FAI tilt should ensue.
As for the Heane, it was only our second defeat in the league. This was prob deserved as the first one against 'The club of the Year' was highway robbery and illegal to boot

David Horkan is probably the best player in the Mayo League at the minute in my opinion. He can play anywhere, has a great touch, plenty of skill, can tackle and is excellent in the air. Seems to make space out of nowhere. He's been approached by at least one LOI team in the past to the best of my knowledge but is happy playing with Westport. Which is fair enough.

Agree that the league is probbaly heading to the Port again this year. No harm either, they play the most attractive football and they don't have an array of mercenaries, unlike other candidates...

The title is not ours until we cannot be mathematically be overtaken and the trophy is presented. Sunday in Bangor is a banana skin as Westport are struggling to have a starting eleven.
