Its a joke that these fixtures (Newmarket & Mountshannon) have been organised when everyone else is playing League Cup or Munster Junior games. The league has start on one designated weekend when every team starts together.

lads seriously do ye ever stop moaning , Newmarket will play League next week the week after they will be playing Munster Junior , Then probably FAI the following week and after that then they are down to travel to Pike to play a munster senior cup game . This should give all teams that have an issue with this to catch up with the two games we will be ahead . Newmarket have to play everyone twice just like every other team in the league have to .
Obviously every team has to play the same amount of games and everyone will catch up but you cant have a lob sided league table already. Every organised league runs on the basis that all teams play together and no team gets an advantage by getting points on the board before others get a chance. And it always seems to be Newmarket who are starting earlier than others :p

I actually think I heard a rumour that Newmarket are giving back handers to the Clare league so that they can get ahead of the rest of the teams . In fairness looking at them over the last two years they could do with this advantage and would not be winning anything unless they started the league before anyone else

3rd yr in a row now newmarket gettting the jump on everyone in the league, very strange to be honest.. and yes everyone has to play each other twice but when teams are 4 n 5 games behind it is a different scenario,bit more pressure not to drop points,,

makes so sense is that not the idea when you first set your stall out at the start of the season not to drop points whether you are behind in games or have more played
Its harder to chase than be chased! No team should get a head start in the league.

Listen this is what all ye townies need to do . Ye need to concentrate on what ye're own teams are doing and stop worrying about everyone else . As I said already Newmarket will be playing Munster senior and Junior plus FAI in the next few weeks . This will give ye all a chance to catch up on games . By the way ye are been very disrespectful to Mountshannon by implying that Newmarket will be probably six points clear by next Sunday evening . Oh yeah one more thing I think if you ask anyone of the Newmarket team and Management they would much rather be watching Liverpool and United on Sunday that down to play a game at two o clock

there is also the chance newmarket could lose/draw first two games thus making them the chasers so it works both ways

While I agree there that ideally the league should be played round by round so that all teams have the same number of games played...I think there is a flip side, come next April or May when there are only a handful of games left there will undoubtedly be teams with nothing to play for, so playing them would be become an advantage. As its hard to motivate yourself to play when your Mid-table and results are not important.

i just took a look at 3 other leagues website, galway, south tip and aul in dublin, all tables have uneven matches played so its not just the clare league. i'm sure if i checked another 3 leagues sites it would be the same.

Its not been disrespectful to mountshannon but they are going to win the league.i would rather be chased instead of doing the chasing and towards the end of the season when mid table teams have nothing to play it will be easier to get points and increase their lead if they have not been caught before then.some league cup games were called off for s***e reason. Why did'nt they use them as proper league games instead

They are not going to win the league. Sorry. :)
Its seems to be all Avenue doing the moaning about Newmarket getting this head start in the league for the past two seasons, when they should really take a look at themselves and just admit they were not good enough over them two seasons to win the league and cut out the excuses. Am I right in saying Newmarket still had to go on and beat Avenue in Lees road both years to make sure of winning the league? Maybe Avenue should stop looking for other teams to take pts off Newmarket and give it a go themseleves.

Well said
I'm not an Avenue man and never will be!! However, I still think its unfair to all the teams who have not started and will not be starting for another week that some teams get a head start in terms of league fixtures. Whether Newmarket, Mountshannon or whoever it is win or lose is irrelevant. By any chance are the lads defending this from Newmarket?!

Sorry 0030 my post was aimed at mouldedstuds and wolverine who are two Avenue men who seem to be making it sound like Newmarket have a say in when they start the league season and what fixtures they play, which is rubbish they should just face it the best team always wins the league.

As ive said before newmarket were worthy champions, all i am saying is, a bit of common sense would be nice for a change. A league should be started with all teams having a fixture on the same day.

I'm certainly not an avenue man either.
When avenue were winning the league and cups everyone was griping about them. And now new market are successful it's the same thing. Typical. I'd like to see the Clare champions push on and progress in the national comps but the last 2 yrs Nwmk have been knocked out in 1st or 2nd round so whole avenue push on to the 4,5 or 6 round then of course Nwmk are going to have a lot more games played in the league. But the league should at least , for the start of the season have it all even an get 3 or 4 games played equally across the board.

Newmarket just informed in the last few minutes that Kilmaley's pitch is 'unplayable' and the game is off but Newmarket will get home advantage the next day!!! There is no game down for McDonough Park today so why aren't this joke of a so called 'club' Kilmaley being forced to play the game in Newmarket this morning?!?!? MFA Guidelines were for 1st Round games to be played by today, this game won't be played until at least the 14th of October now. Rule 8 of the MFA General Cup Rules needs to be ammended because it's only there to be abused by the likes of Kilmaley, no doubt if Cratloe beat Kilmaley in the hurling yesterday Tiermaclane would be playable this morning! This is an absolute farce, clearly Frank Healy pulling a fast one. RIDICULOUS

why is there only one premier fixture this weekend? middle of october and some teams havent even got one game played, and now the powers that be decide that a few teams who could get a game, wont.. its a joke really,,
A bad decision to have three teams sitting out this weekend unless one or two of the teams have asked for a free weekend. Any idea when the Oscar Traynor are playing? I know it says they have to play Limerick on or before the 31st october.

There have been numerous training sessions for the Clare Oscar Traynor so far this season. I'm assuming there is no training tonight due to the Irish match.

Why are we still surprised by what the Clare league do, if it's possible to make a mess of things more often than not they will..can see some teams not Playin a league game again til november.. U17 league yet to start even. And that league cup still clogging up fixtures..a pointless competition only there to keep the gaa players happy
