I think the top 5(Port, Celts, Heane, Erris and Manulla) should all have a winning start to the season. Although any upsets would be welcomed.
Fixtures:
Ballina Town V Westport
Ballyheane V Snugboro
Crossmolina V Erris
Manulla V Ballyglass(interesting one)
S & F V Celtic
The Boros next 3 fixtures after this are
Crossmolina Home
Straide&Foxford away
Erris (Westaro cup)home
are the fixtres for the other leagues out yet ?
Ballyglass B vrs Swinford B
Castlebar Town (Utd) vrs Blue bomb B
Cross Celtic (League Debut) vrs Urlaur Utd
Boro B vrs Glenisland
26 March
2nd Round is on 9 April
Was this Boro's first or second team that played?
It was the first team but it mite as well have been the under 12 as they were very poor!!!
Also, im not sorry to see ballina utd going and im not afraid to say it. Nobody liked playing them!!! Admit it.
With the new season just around the corner im wondering why the league hasnt come down stronger on clubs with poor pitches.It seems they turn a blind eye to the lower leagues,I thought we were improving standards. Heres my top 10 crappiest "Fields
1. Lacken utd 2. Partry ath 3. Urlar utd 4. Castlebar Town 5.Glenisland
6. Mulranny 7. Conn Rangers 8. Hollister 9. Glenhest 10. Moy Villa
What do ye think ( in no order of importance but Partry wins hand down!!!)
Glenhest were superleague last season and Conn rangers the season before with urlaur only out of it for a few seasons it seems that it isnt only lower league clubs that have poor pitches and are been tirned a blind eye
Pixiehead I am afraid you have to make allowances for new teams. No team starts their existance with a pitch like Manullas. Partry are only in their third season and redevelopment work is starting this summer on the pitch.
If you had played on pitches like Ballyheanes old pitch and Ballyglass's old pitch they were far from the standard that they are at today and I am sure that is what all teams are aspiring to. In fairness Moyvilla, Castlebar Town (Utd), Conn Rangers Holister and Glenisland are flat and of a reasonable standard compared again to pitches we all played on in the past. I don't know what club you hail from I am sure that your club had a Dodgy "field" when it first started out so please cut clubs like Partry some slack and if they are still on the same pitch in the same condition in 10 years time then you would have a definate point.
well lads, season getting underway this weekend, whats the predictions, im hoping celtic get a good hammering at the weekend, i dont think im the only person hoping this.
Renovator- you need to make your points more clearer, you obviously know your stuff but find it very hard to understand your phrasing, did you go to school at all!!!!!!
gnasher, me aul buddy, hows things, are ya here,are ya there or where are ya!!!

Not true. Irish Times said something like "The most gifted footballer to come out of Mayo in this generation is only 31 years old, but Ciarán McDonald has packed it in. The sometime All Star, International Rules player and All-Ireland club winner with Crossmolina was last seen playing junior soccer for Snugboro United."in the paper last friday, but they meant to say Ballyheane.
Celtic have their floodlights up(well 3 of the 4 so far but should all be up by the end of the day) and they should be able to turn them on tomorrow.

Saw this new addition to the League Cross Celtic in Milebush a few weeks ago in some Cup game v a Ballinrobe selection. They looked alright, a bit raw maybe. They dominated much of the second half but lacked the killer touch. Got beat 2-0 but were unlucky. Good to see new teams enter the league. Give them a chance. Really good to see Urlaur back in action.
Celtic would want to be careful. With the players they have, most of the fringe players that would walk onto many Super League teams will not be happy with fleeting appearances and maybe forced to look elsewhere for 1st team chances.
Does anyone think that starting the season so early is going against the whole summer football thing. Pitches wont be in top condition after the recent bad weather and teams also wont have had the chance to prpare properly. even if it wasleft for another couple of weeks things would be beginning to improve and clubs would have had a chance to prepare their grounds IE Cutting Rollling sanding etc . What u think lads?

Can someone tell me why I've been woken from my hibernation by this gibberish? I only criticise imbeciles so consider yourself gnashed.
Check my post-history to see who I have a go at, I regularly state that Mayo Soccer is the main winner when ALL teams are doing well.
Ans stop bashing Celtic, that's reserved entirely for my species. (Who really cares if GD got sponsorship to send Ciaran Kelly to NASA with his NIKE Total 90's on! what a plonk!)
The S&F Celtic league game is off this weekend, as both teams are playing in the AIB Mayo League Cup Final 2005 in Milebush at 2.30.
All other games kick off at 2.30 except for Ballyheane-Boro which is at 11.30(I hate morning games)
Yeah i do agree with ya but in fairness some clubs wont even bother to rent out a roller and a proper cutting machine!! Im not asking for millenium stadiums i just think that some clubs can do alot better with what they have.
Think about it, if some of the pitches got a decent rolling now when the pitches are still a little soft and a weekly cut during the summer months theyd be fine. But certain clubs still take a poor stance on there own surfacesand my own club didnt start on a field we started in a hospital Hint Hint
"season getting underway this weekend, whats the predictions,"
well lads,this season i can see a few suprises. I think erris united will struggle this year and pre season friendlies proves this, they had some unconvincing performances against lower league opposition i think they will be stuck in a battle with ballyglass and crossmolina to avoid the drop
ballina 1-2 westport
ballyheane 2-2 snugboro
crossmolina 1-1 erris
manulla 2-0 ballyglass
Are ye 100% sure the season starts on sunday?? None of todays papers gave it a metion let alone cover it
Heres mine any how
Ballina 0-0 Westport
Ballyheane 3-1 Snugboro
Crossmolina 0-3 Erris
Manulla 1-1 Ballyglass
Cup Final Celtic 4-1 S+f
Check with the mayo League answer phone 0949021079 assume 2.30pm ko
