Mayo League Division 2 2007

**town old boy** · 28/06/2007, 8:25 PM

You're talkin each team havin to play 30ish league games. When you include cup games in 4 competitions that makes for a long busy season. Granted most Div2 teams don't stay in some of those comps too long!
As Tube said midweek games would be a problem but a problem equally for all. The way it is now I feel some teams have the unfair advantage of playing 2 home games against another club. Not really fair with the long distances having to be travelled.
Maybe midweek games could be on a Wed and the league season extended!?

Just a feeler. No harm in a debate on it. Anyone have any opinion

joining 2 divisions wouldnt work 2 manny league games & cups on top, it would be aesier 2 start a new division 3 with bottom 4 teams from 2a & 2b.
as 4 2b being far easier than 2a i would'nt go there, nothing between them

dont think there is much difference between Div 1 and either of the div 2's, Moy Villa topped 2A last season and now they are top of Div 1, any views on how the cup semi finals will go next thurs?

Anyone have the fixtures for the next 2 weeks for div 2b. Due to a java problem I cant get into soccerbot.

Got them from the Fixtures Handbook, there are Connacht Cup games and FAI Junior Cup games in between.

i think that the creation of a new division three would be a good idea and would give the weaker teams in the division something more to play for in the season.as for there being nothing between div 2a and 2b could disagree more!watched games from both divisions this year and 2a would definitely be of a better standard.although thats just my opinion!

**swinfordfc** · 30/06/2007, 2:39 PM

Very good result for Clew Bay today.Really throws open the top of the division. Anyone know why the Town game was postponed?

because we were told the game was on at 2.30
but the game was on at 12, mental stuff lack of communication

Whats the story then? Who's fault was that? Do ye replay it? How can there be such lack of communication in this day and age!!? Sure Ballyvarys only out the road!

the kick-off was changed from 2:30 to 12:00 very early in the week. it was stated on the connaught and teletext that kickoff was 12:00 and also an e-mail was sent to both club secretarys and the referee. it looks like ballyvary get the three points.

**Wingman** · 02/07/2007, 8:13 AM

what about div 2b.... 11 games in and top 3.. 25, 24 23 points each.
hopefully will be a tight finish too.
Celtic C creeping up there aswell

**Tube Station** · 02/07/2007, 8:42 AM

great result for clew bay, all over Erris in the 2nd half. league is a bit tighter now still all to play for. it said on teletext all week that the castlebar ballyvary game was at 12 and same on mayo news.

If thats the case then Ballyvary deserve the points. Who in town is to blame???? Will a few heads role??
