there will be a few from celtic alright but i'd say there'll b more from westport as they have more players that have stood out this year with celtic having a different team every game. didn't really see a lot of ballina players that good against celtic last saturday night. stevie gavin anyway from the buro' who else really can make it from them? interesting to see if gerry burke gets picked, i'd have seanie mchale, ronan o boyle, gerrymcloughlin and dessie who's been there for years not sayin he's a better player just that he has been there so long it's hard to look past him. even fitzy from s n f instead. gerry thinks he's way better than he is and all he has to do is show up!!

Very true, not a fan of this player! Thinks he is way above mayo soccer and he definately is not!! When he played with celtic in the junior cup this year was a case of give me the ball and ill score from what i could see. His loyalty or lack of it also sickens me! High-tailed it to the heane with dykes not gone 2mins from celtic, now his buddy j.maloney has left for athlone, burke is stuck all on his lonesome....will not make mayo team!

All very quiet on here about the FAI being in town. Just want to say well done to all clubs who have upgraded their facilities. Was in Milebush last evening and the place is top class, the hard working committee members should be very proud of what has been achieved, its a facility that all involved in soccer in Mayo should be proud of. Can't forget Manulla either, at this stage it's one of the finest club grounds in the provence and seems to have the support of the whole community, worthy winners of Club of the Year, congratulations to their hard working committee. All in all very positive in my opinion, but good news rarely gets a mention on here which is a shame.

Achill vs Snugboro

Snf vs Ballina

What is the feelin out there????? Can Snf take Ballina????

**Closed Account** · 25/07/2008, 11:16 AM

The feeling is the same, a cup semi is a cup semi. Anyone can beat anyone on their day. Are they both on the same day in Milebush or is it Saturday/Sunday?

interesting draw, im sure ballina wont be to happy with it, unlike the boro who have to be happy with the draw. but sayin that anything can happen on the day.

Snugboro will beat Achill comfortably, about four nil. The other game is a cracker, and I think S+F will be in with a great shout. They are playing nice stuff and have a good strong squad who are fit and in form. If they beat Fahy in the divisional cup final I think they will be confident of putting it up to Ballina.

Fair play to Manulla, their ground is a credit to them, Milebush, Celtic and the Heane got their facilities unveiled also, well done!

The FAI visit to Westport went well, the club had a fine display of their wares on the Mall for their new ground, the activities for the kids were great as well.

Manulla 4-3 Snugboro

I'll leave my opinion on the result until the dust has settled. Any neutrals out there watching? What do ye think about result, league destination, etc?

**Playfair** · 27/07/2008, 9:40 PM

Well Joe what can be said about that? 3-0 up and cruising, ye just switched off and conceded a couple of soft goals, the equaliser especially. Snugboro by far the better team for over an hour but Ansboro changed things when he came on. Enjoyable for us in the stand, end to end for last few minutes but id say the hair dryer treatment was given after, if not it was definitely needed. Strange that P Curry was only on bench, id have thought his aerial presence would have caused problems for Manulla, mind you he was given a card almost straight away for a nasty looking tackle in front of us so maybe that had to be taken into consideration as well? So the title is Westports once again unless they fall apart completely which i doubt. From an entertainment point of view, one of the games of the season, fast and furious, lots of strong tackles and 7 goals but thats no consolation to ye.
