Big shock in ballinrobe today and bangor taking full advantage of it.

yeah was a very good win for bangor and they probably deserve to be up there at the top.very heavy defeat for ballinrobe-what happened to yee jp?especially as it was against ballyglass.as for ourselves-if you cant put the ball in the back of the net you wont win games!!we had at least five one on ones against manulla last weekend but just couldnt convert our domination into goals.they broke away with five minutes remaining and got a penalty.in fairness twas a smash and grab raid but they got the points-such is football!that result brings us right back into the relegation mire after other results didnt really go for either.puts a dent in our title aspirations now!!

Cant see the top two being ousted now. Thought we had a chance to make up the deficit but last weeks defeat has all but ended that dream. I expect Ballinrobe to drop quite a lot of points, but not enough to put S+F or ourselves into contention. The B teams are ineligible for promotion. At the bottom it's anyone from the bottom six, including the two I mentioned for promotion! One thing I really believe though; whoever goes up is coming straight back down. The standard this season has been pretty abysmal and considering Glehhest hockeyed everyone last year I have no confidence whatsoever in the chances of the promoted teams, unless they seriously strengthen their squads.

Achill vs Ballinrobe away
Ballyglass vs Fahy away
Celtic B vs Straide and Foxford draw
Manulla B vs Westport B away
Swinford vs Bangor away

S&F were fair bad, were it not for the 12th Swinford it could have been worse

So how do you see the season ending up at this stage? I reckon that Bangor or Westport will win the title, with Bangor and Ballinrobe going up. I think Ballinrobe will lose points to Fahy, Bangor and Westport B but still gain promotion. Whatever about Bangor's chances of survival in the Super league, Ballinrobe would have to recruit heavily in order to avoid embarassment at that level. I was not impressed by them at all but I suppose they are where they are for a reason! The relegation zone is much less easy to predict, with a good few teams involved, but it's hard to see past the bottom four of Achill, Swinford, Ballyglass and Manulla b. They pretty much all have to play each other so it should be interesting to see who survives. I can't call it anyway. Anybody got an opinion on these matters???

**irishyop** · 16/08/2007, 11:24 AM

It is I think Bangors to lose, I think they will "survive" in Super League as they can play good football but I think Ballinrobe could be in for a "Glenhest" and the whips will come when they play the top 4 or 5 teams in the Super. But if they can get a few players who knows;

Relegation I reckon Fahy are certain to go down, just have loads of ugly players and no colored boots so its only fair

Achill have really suprised me as have Swinford, this time last year they were contenders for the title.

**Footy Mad** · 16/08/2007, 6:14 PM

Can't see Fahy goin down as they are one of the form teams in the Division. (Won 4 of the last 5). I agree that its goin to be difficult for Achill to stay up.

**r.rover** · 17/08/2007, 12:35 PM

well lads,its lookin like bangor and ballinrobe to go up surley, if we beat s=f sunday we wont b too far behind (if!) the bottoms tight aldoh achill do look in trouble, as for whoever goes up comin straight back down again? i dno lads, claremorris are on 11 points and its possible they could survive on that! so its hard to say!!

surely we have the best looking players in the division!

as for the boots-we def have a few lads wearing those cool looking coloured boots so we're well kitted out!back on the pitch i'd be hoping for a fahy win against s and f tomorrow but thought that they played very good football the last time we played them.if they can get a full squad out they're a good side.reckon bangor and ballinrobe will both be promoted.at the other end of the table i cant see ballyglass surviving.they were shocking against us last weekend.havent played as poor a team in a long time.heard reports that theres a big rift in their camp and a lot of the younger players have left the team.also heard that they're meant to be paying their centre half to play for them!big waste of money if you ask me!!think the other relegation place is between swinford and achill.depends on how the teams do against each other in the last few weeks of the season.

**juan pablo** · 19/08/2007, 11:23 AM

Big top of the table clash this afternoon between ballinrobe and bangor, hard to know how it will go, its great to see the return of damian walsh and enda reilly back into the team, as for the possibility of robe getting promoted and than coming straight back down again, along with the current team and the return of conor maloney- i think robe stand a chance of holding there own in staying up,

**Allornothing** · 20/08/2007, 1:08 PM
