Message
from the Chairman
THE
Mayo League has made many great strides over the last number of years
in terms of summer football, sponsorship, Super League and the setting
of standards. We now need to move forward once again and concentrate
on developing the game further by means of coaching and improving playing
standards.
Although many individual players have gone on to achieve
greater rewards at both national and international level, our junior
clubs have failed to deliver the ultimate prize at provincial or national
level over recent times. It is now time for both the clubs and league
to use the resources that are available to develop all our players at
every level. With this in mind I hope to put in place a coaching structure
within the county that will facilitate this need. This, however, will
require the assistance, co-operation and support of clubs, if it is
to be successful. By working together and having a common goal, we can
achieve our objectives and reap rewards for years to come.
A lot of time, effort and energy has gone into the
preparation of this fixtures schedule. It is essential to the smooth
running of the League that it is used as intended, and that clubs communicate
the information therein to their players, coaches and officials. Make
sure that you pass on a copy of the booklet to your club P.R.O. to further
promote the game with your local media.
I would like to take this opportunity to say
a special thank you to our generous sponsors, to whom we are deeply
indebted for their ongoing support over the years – The Welcome Inn
Hotel, T.S.B. Bank, Chadwicks Ltd., A.I.B. Bank, Flannelly Insurance,
Westaro Hosing Ltd., Stauntons Intersport, Oliver Kelleher an the Connaught
Telegraph. I would ask all the clubs to support our sponsors at every
opportunity.
Finally, I would like to appeal to all clubs to make
every effort to seek additional referees. The local branch of the I.R.I.S.
is in dire need of new recruits, and the onus is on all of us to ensure
that we have a match official for all games, and to secure the future
of the game. Unless we act now, the consequences could be critical.
I would like to wish all clubs, their players, officials,
managers and coaches, together with our referees and members of the
media, a most successful season. With clear communication and working
together, we can all be winners at the end of the season.
