Clare League 2013/14

[guvnor]

Ya alot of people ive talked to reckon that is what will it happen it would be bad form if thats the case it will take the shine off rock winning the league then I would think..who's the think tage wont get a result its a town derby and they are haed to beat at home..

Lads show a bit of respect to Newmarket Celtic and look at the facts before ye start making up stuff. Regardless if Newmarket won or lost last Sunday, they would be missing Lawlor and o Grady (both suspended), Hayes Donlon and Cullinan (all injured) and now with gaa going ahead possibly S Kelly and E o Brien (depending on when that game is fixed for) for Friday night. Newmarket Celtic has never thrown a game in their rich history and certainly won't do it when they have a faint hope of winning a league even if it means Avenue could win the league. If Ennis town beat Newmarket and win the league it will because they have been the most consistent team all season. Deal with facts and not rumour. Best of luck to all three teams.

Linesmen at the rock /nemkt game none at avenue game ? any reason for that I wonder ?
It will be a pity if Newmarket are missing so many but the league is won over 18 games not just the last one. Should be an interesting Friday evening

[fatronaldo]

Reason?

[Hibs7772]

Anyone know if they would be charging an entry fee at the gate for the rock vs Newmarket game? and what time is kick off Friday?

[mastermind1]

There will be no charge to the ennis town v newmarket game.....its on in lees rd ad 7.15 friday

[fatronaldo]

[fatronaldo]

Both games should have linesmen or neither game should have linesmen, considering its a league game neither game should have linesmen! Think Avenue will win it in the end, cant see Ennis town beating Newmarket!

[mouldedstuds]

Newmarket are missing half their team for a number of reasons so I will go for rock to do the double over them and win the league.

[Wolverine]

If it was just between Newmarket and rock would they have so many missing. The hurling is a poor excuse .And it does'nt help claresoccer in any shape or form,all it does is reinforce the Gaa issue. It's just one more game in an awful long season. Pre season starts in 3 weeks time.

[fatronaldo]

Ya if it was just between the two of them they would have a full team,newmarket would rather rock win it so I cant see newmarket playin to there full capacity

[Shuffleruns]

any scores??

[Shuffleruns]

Congrats to Ennis Town on winning the league tonight, well deserved.

[old git]

Congrats to Ennis Town on winning the league tonight, well deserved the best team always wins over the course of the season and great to see such a tight finish to the league with 3 teams fighting out to win it.

[Hibs7772]

What was the scores and scorers for both matches? How did Newmarket play since everyone was saying they were going to throw the game

[mastermind1]

Games finished 5-0 to avenue and ennis town won 1-0. Congrats to ennis town on a great achievement....not easy to go unbeaten for a full league campaign.....also fair play to tage on giving avenue a good account, the scoreline in no way reflects the game as a whole. Thank god this season is over, 11 mths and 1 week later. See ye all at the earliest september :)

Well done to Ennis town. Great for a new club to win and hopefully they keep building to challenge the more traditional teams in the league. Newmarket gave it a right go and played as many of their senior players as they could. They obviously had players out due to suspension and injuries but they didn't back down.

Ya he sent me a private message stating he is gone to shannon town.. he will ruin that club too by bringing in too many outsiders .. great manager but brings in too many new lads to clubs in my opinion

[AC Melon]

They've a fairly handy squad up there, cant see him bringing in too many, and if he is I don't really know who there is to bring in! Don't think any lifford lads would come to Shannon and cant really see Shannon/Newmarket/Bridge players going either!

I dont agree.. yes there is 3 or 4 good lads but I watched them a few times this year and thought they were poor.. they have gary o connell ,young burke, griffen and ger kelly..too slow at the back and no pace up front with kelly

[Second]

I also agree not many lads to bring in.. cant see lads leaving bridge or olympic or newmarket as all 3 clubs in premier in clare

I only seen them twice last season and they weren't great, they have a team to keep them in 1A but nothing more. Ken buckley up front is a very good player too as are the players you mentioned. Will be interesting to see if he does add to the squad

We'll have to do some serious sessions though to improve our pace...slower than a herd of turtles we are!

That will be a tough game.. lads wont feel it and season will be starting again. Saw a good bit of bridge utd and newmarket last year hopefully get to see a bit of ennis town rock this year..

Nice...
Fancy St.Micheals to beat Nenagh but who knows.. Watched them play few weeks back, well organised, play good high tempo football.

[footballfriend]

Best of luck to Darren Murphy on his move to Pike. Deserves a shot at it.

[don't panic]

I'll second that. hope he does well, very high expectations there

[OneNightOnly]

Best of luck to Darren Murphy on his move to Pike. Deserves a shot at it.

5 year deal, 100k a week

Wonder what bridge will do with the transfer fee??
New stadium?

[YNWA]

Best of luck to Darren Murphy on his move to Pike. Deserves a shot at it.

A shot at what? Junior soccer?

[footballfriend]

To play at what people percieve as one of the best junior leagues in Ireland.

and possibly one of the best clubs in junior soccer best of luck to him good to see a lad trying to push himself forward to try and improve his ability / standard

[Two Feet Up]

always good to see lads trying to play at a higher level (whether people believe that limerick is a higher level than clare or not) he obviously does.

[AC Melon]

Excellent for Darren, heard a few LOI clubs wanted him but he would have had to travel 2/3 times a week. Hopefully he does well pike!

strange move then .. i would imagine he would have to travel 2-3 times a week into pike as well

[footballfriend]

Ya I thought that myself. I know Galway were after him.

It would be alot easier to travel to pike than either galway of athlone where I believe he has been asked to train with. Plus he will probably be better off financially in limk too
