I have heard Glenisland and Ballinrobe B have gone. Are Ballyvary down to one team now?

did any clubs play any friendlies at the weekend?

Partry played Westport B in Milebush on Sunday in desperate conditions and were unlucky to only come away with a 1-1 draw.

Anyone any ideas on how the relagation/promotion issues for each division will pan out. Could be a few tight divisions.

Last i heard Ballyvary had only 3 turn up for training. I feel very Sorry for Glenisland. Its a sad state of affairs. But this is My whole point that i made some while Back. If Players dont get involved in the day to day running of their clubs they will just vanish into thin air especially Rural Clubs. This wont be the last Club to Fall victim of an every increasing self-centered society

**theboy** · 07/03/2007, 9:10 AM

heard S&F have got 2 new managers, any truth in this? could be a turning point for the senior team.

I heard that Glenisland have decided to get it together and put in a team this year. I know that at their AGM they decided not to enter one but heard a few people rallies around to ensure their survival. Know they have lost a few pllyers, including one really good player to Glenhest. Not 100% sure or anything, that's just what I heard.

In Connacht Telegraph, it has in Division 2b Glenhest United - i take this to be Glenisland United - thing its a tying error or am i wrong?

**Lassy** · 07/03/2007, 3:48 PM

im thinking typo error

**the grape vine** · 07/03/2007, 3:57 PM

anyone any tought's on the Sligo Rovers job, would the "gray one"(as he called here) be interested in the post ??

**sinabhuil** · 07/03/2007, 5:19 PM

Lost 2 nil to Ballyglass on Sunday. Atrocious conditions. B'glass much better than us. To be fair we were probably missing 6 of our normal starting team. We were however useless in the first half when we played with the wind.

Cant believe that Glenisland could be finished. They have their own ground, training area, dressing rooms, etc. We would kill for this. Try to keep it together lads. Also pity that Robe only fielding an A team. Where will all the B team players get their football?. Like Ballyvarry we have found training very hard to organise this year with players away at college, work, injuries, etc.

Any one on for a challenge match at the weekend?

Be interested in yours, or anyones, opinion regarding the structure of mayo league division 2. It must be very hard to motivate a team to get out of this division. A team cannot plan from season to season, because they dont know who they will be playing against in that season, as the division is split into groups a and b, and the teams you faced last season may be in the other group this season. Add this uncertainty to the number of teams pulling out of the league, and the introduction of new teams,( be it new clubs, existing clubs entering b teams, or c teams in celtics case), and its a lottery!
Even then, second place in your group will get you into a set of 2 playoffs to get promoted. So, an unlucky team, with potential, may be stuck in that division.
So whats the alternative? is it time to revert to a 10-team division 2, with the other 5/6 teams forming a division 3? These teams can easily play 3/4 rounds in the league until the league entry means a 10-team division. This "division 3" existed in the past in the Mayo league, albeit with more teams in the overall mayo league at the time( newport town, parkside celtic, ballina rovers, etc...). Surely this would be fairer on progressive division 2 teams? Welcome any thoughts. Tom Kelly take note!!
