QuoteThere will be nothing until the AGM Ballyboy
Anyone know when the season kicks off and how Div. 2 is going to be structured i.e. what teams will make up 2A and 2B
There will be nothing until the AGM Ballyboy
Heard rumours that there will be a few new additions this year. Claremorris, K & K United and Ballinrobe are looking at entering "B" teams. With Mulranny & Ballyheane coming down, it will be a seriously hard league to get out of again. K & K United, Erris and Ballina Town "B" were very strong last year, and with two clubs in Super League submitting second teams, it will be much stronger next year. Castlebar Celtic "C", Castlebar Town, Swinford "B" & Clew Bay were not too far off the mark and will have to be in the shake-up this year.
How do ye think ye'll do Pixie? If the influx of players arrive that's rumoured to be arriving, ye will surely have a say in the promotion race?
Ya the Boro B team could be he real Snugboro Utd with all the new players reported coming in.Originally Posted by Phoenix

Ya the B team will be alot stronger than last year if players are willing to Play reserve and wait for the call up. From the feedback ive been hearing training has been discribed as "unreal" "seriously Tough but First Class". There seems to be a great buzz from what i hear. With the Bs training with the First team they have a real chance this year as fitness levels will be top class
how many teams are there going to be in div 2 this year. any new players dropping down, i heard that ginnelly is back with glenisland after a year in the super league. surely that will help their cause. have k+k enough players for a 2nd team and have the town lost any players to celtic b or anyone else
I wouldn't count on Ballyheane B being entered just yet, They may just put one team in the Mayo League. concentrate all out assult on S.L.
more than lighty go with U-18 team rebuilt a stronger B team for the following year.
Believe that Valley Rovers have pulled out and rumours that Manulla might be putting in a C team.
k/k united have entered b side mainly u18 players of last few years
we have enough of bad teams playing in our leagues, what we don't want is clubs aloud to place three teams in our league's they become no better than a good pub team
i hear two of our rivals have a challenge next weekend, bombers and cbar town. how are ye fixed, lost or gained many players, ballyboy and town old boy??
Lost Rob Moore, Phil Quigley that i know of. Gained Mark Maughan, John Mulroe, Daffy Redmond.

Lost a couple of the older uys but pretty much the same. Still a lot of young plaers - 8-9 U18s in the squad. Still in a building process here is a big gap in age groups we have a gap in the 23 - 30 age group.
heard clew bay beat glenisland in a friendly. anything to take out of the game. other games?
Ballyvary BB 3 4 Castlebar Town
Very open game - shaky defending. This was our first game of the season so we were reasonably happy with the perfomance. Unfortunately we haven't lost the habit of conceding silly goals.
A number of our younger players showed well in the game. This was the Town's 4th game so they were bound to be that bit sharper.
Both teams have a lot of work to do if we want to be challenging for promotion.
What sort of team have the Bombers this year BallyBoy? Are the old reliables like Leo Joyce, Terry Kenny and Colm Carney still playing? Whose managing this year?
Town have had 4 warm up games so far, only losing 1 of those. It's looking quite promising for the new season. Having made a few new additions and with some old players returning, here's hoping Town can mount a serious challenge for promotion and some silverware this season!
Any news on the teams in each division?
Very young team this time around. Leo has retired - still trying to coax the other two boys back - we'll see what happens. Trying to build for the future some very handy young guys but lack of experience may work against them when the come up against some of the teams.
Martin McKeown and Vincent mcHale over the team this season.
MAFL AGM on Thursday next 28th so we should know how the division will be structured and who will be in A & B sections. There won't be as much travelling as last year with Erris B (promoted) and Valley Rovers (pulled out) no longer there.
any division 2 team looking 4 friendly v k/k utd??? next few weeks.
