What happens now with the IFC?? I heard the teams that had to win/lose at the weekend drew.

Replay on Saturday.

That '89 final was twenty years ago to the day - Sept 17th...

Sounds good in theory. I would be in favour of getting North Mayo (amalgamated Junior teams) back into the championship to see how it goes. But it did fizzle out after a bit... I cant remember why exactly that happened.

Too many clubs in North Mayo prevented it from ever really kicking off. I think 1 year it was from 11 clubs and all clubs seemed to have to have 2 or 3 representatives. I played for them for a few years. On my last year with them i got a pretty bad injury ... hospital etc  .... got a signed card from the lads. I came accross it there a few weeks back and only recognised about 4 or 5 of the names ... .was only ever a team of individuals who barely knew one anothers names.
It should be split into a smaller group. Currently there is an underage team - Naomh Padraig - for minor and U-16 representing Killala, Lacken, Ballycastle & Kilfian (none of those clubs can field a team on their own anymore - Ballycastle joined the other 3 this year who had been merged for a few years already). Why not let those 4 clubs combine to enter a team in the senior championship ? There would be a developing bond in years to come as the underage teams come through

Good idea

Not sure actually. What if they were to get relegated? Would they continue to operate out of the intermediate championship? Would this not defeat the initial purpose?

It would have the additional bonus of allowing each club one free championship weekend.

I don't see where this would be an advantage to be honest?

The idea of two home and two away games is a good one though - the present system whereby some teams have to travel twice whereas others have the advantage of two home games is a little unfair.

Dont know how you put me and Ballina together....! Some gang of posters from one county alright though.

Why must the senior and intermediate draws be made on the same day?  Why not make the senior draw now (in public as planned), and then do the intermediate one after the 3 way playoff is concluded?

A fair question I would have thought.

For those of you that don't know - Davitts will play Swinford in the first playoff game, winner to top the group. Loser will play Belmullet for runner up spot.

Maybe we should move this discussion to the Mayo Football and Hurling thread in the Local Discussion folder? Seeing the Mayo v Meath title brings back bad memories of that game every time I open the page. Also, our neighbours to the south might be somewhat less inclined to share their insightful comments with us over there....

[Quarter-final dates remain uncertain]

Quarter-final dates remain uncertain 
THE draw for the quarter-finals of the Mayo senior and intermediate football championships will take place on Monday, August 31 in the TF Royal Hotel, Castlebar.

Its a killer having to wait two weeks to know who you are playing !!!

Its all because of that shambles in the intermediate group between belmullet swinford & davitts.

Does anyone know why Davitts handed a walk over to Belmullet anyway?? If you ask me Belmullet & Swinford should progress and punish Davitts for handing a walk over to belmullet.

In fairness they didn't hand anyone a walkover. Davitts V Belmullet was originally postponed due to the death of a young lad in Ballindine. It should have been played within 13 days but because Mayo were playing the Connacht final this couldn't happen and Belmullet were awarded the game and the points.

It does raise again the thorny issue of getting games, especially championship games postponed/called off etc in these circumstances.

[Section 4 Resutls]

Section 4 Resutls
Claremorris 6-7 Bohola Moy-Davitts 0-13
Ballintubber 2-7 Kiltane 0-13

Moy Davitts, Burrishoole, Ballinrobe and Garrymore are in relegation play-off trouble.

Are Moy Davitts not safe on scoring difference? Going on the tables on the Mayo GAA site (not the most reliable I know!) but they are -6 and Claremorris are -8...

http://www.sportsmanager.ie/t3.php?userid=21&leaguetable=1&report=1&reporttype=mixresults&compid=9183&countyid=21&club_id=&sportid=1

Saw that but was listening to mid-wesht yesterday and they were very much of the impression that Claremorris were safe and Moy Davitts would finish bottom so there looks to be some confusion around that one as well.

Looking at the Intermediate, am I right in thinking there will have to be playoffs in Group B, given that Davitts for some reason gave a walkover to Belmullet? Swinford would lose out on scoring difference as it stands. The QF's barring any change there are Kilmaine, Tourmakeady, Westport, Achill, Cill Chomain, Mayo Gaels and presumably Davitts and Belmullet. Hollymount, Crossmolina B, Bonniconlon in the relegation scrap, and Louisburgh find themselves in another one after relegation last year.

Louisburghs situation is incredible - at half time yesterday they were 0-09 to 0-00 up playing at home to Mayo Gaels and had one foot in the quarter finals yet they now find themselves in a relegation playoff...

What a mighty day! No need for negatives today, enjoy this one, because these are the big ones, the famous ones, right up there with 2006 v Dublin, 1999 v Galway, 1996 v Kerry etc. that you have to savour. For the first time since 1967 Mayo have lifted the Nestor Cup in Salthill!

They actually lifted the Nestor Cup that year in Tuam Barney, beating Leitrim in the final so you'd have to go back even further again for our last Final win in Salthill.
