That's 10 in div 2b, seems to be on the high side. It would only leave 7 in 2a unless there are more new teams.

Jesus, so that means if they keep the 3 games against each team that lads will be playing 27 games, up 6 games on last season.

although the ever-efficient connaught telegraph didnt bother to proof read the article it seems that div 2a will consist of Ballyvary, Castlebar Celtic C, Conn Rangers, Clew Bay, Snugboro B, Straide n Foxford B, Westport United C and maybe others that have been cut due to excellent editing!!!

If there are 10 in the group there will only be 2 rounds of games so you'll end up with three less games than last year.

I presume there will be more than 7 in 2A names must have been omitted. Surely they will balance them out. Will know more about it after AGM tonight.

Clew Bay have a decent chance of coming out of thet division I think.

would have to agree with you on that one alright.went training with them a few weeks ago and they've strengthened their team whilst losing none of the lads that tey had last year.if they can hit the ground running then i'd say they could well be the team to beat (famous last words!

)can also see the likes of castlebar putting a big effort again this year-they'll surely feel very aggrieved after last year when clew bay beat them to second place in the league.will be interesting to see the quality of the new teams coming into the division this year-particularly westport c and manulla c.will these teams have to give a seperate panel to the league or will players be allowed to jump from team to team depending on how one team is getting on?feel this needs to be addressed at the agm tonight.and before anyone asks no i won't be there as am not in mayo at the mo but hope something will be suggested

There are rules in place, in order to protect smaller clubs. Player playing with C Team would not be considered good enough to play higher than B status.
Should a player wish to play with the A Team Would have to transfer too A STATUS. Unable to play with C/B team.
Hope this helps

Div 2A will be made up of 9 teams:

Ballyvary BB, Ballina Utd, Ballyheane B, Celtic C, Conn Rangers, Clew Bay, Snugboro B, S&F B, Westport C

Pretty tough division I would think Clew Bay, Conn Rangers and Snugboro B are the favourites for the top spots.

At least there isn't much travelling involved this time around - Louisbourgh the furthest.

I think there are just 16 games i.e. play each other twice. Should be finished by the end of September apart from playoffs.

Div 2b seems relatively easier with only two teams really in with a chance of getting promoted whilst there seems to be 4r5 in Div 2a.
2a 2b.
1. Clew Bay 1. Mulranny
2. Conn Rangers 2. Castlebar Town
3. Ballyvary 3. Glenisland

It actually finished 2-2 and I'm afraid both teams will have to improve a lot if they want to compete within their respective sections but the potential is there.

Im sure they'll pull it together before the kick-off.
Surely the place to rant at them is to their faces, and NOT on foot.ie? Just a thought!

**couchpotato** · 09/03/2008, 7:25 PM

lots of friendlies on today, can we taake anyting from results.
clew bay had a good win over ballyglass i think, dats a good result
conn rangers beat glenisland 3-2 but dont know the details of the game

**BallyBoy** · 10/03/2008, 8:34 AM

Seen the Clew Bay v Ballyglass game and must say that Clew Bay looked very impressive. Watching the game you'd have thought that they were the 1st Division team not Ballyglass. Definite favourites for 2A. Very solid and very organised. The team to beat!
