[Rider Cups]

Sorry Funky , Ennistymon , Connolly and Moher look like the favourites.

Looking at the league table I would agree with you but the way results in the division have been going would have to include Turnpike and Kilkishen in the mix. Especially Kilkishen as they have won 5 out of last six beating connelly and moher and throwing away a 5-2 lead against ennistymon. Those teams you have mentioned have to play each other aswell

[Rider Cups]

Well i suppose you will have a better idea of how ready you guys are for the premier after the cup game .

Ave = avenue

st have bundles of young players to breed in over time .... Clare league will suit the younger players also IMO

shuffleruns

Shannon town have bundles of young players for the last ten years and still not breed in that's the problem .. lots of all the young lads leave when then reach 15-16 onwards to join other clubs,,, how will clare league suit younger players ?

[Shuffleruns]

No clue. Coaches? Down to the club to produce players no?
Shannon town is a decent club and probably one of the better ones around the Clare Limerick region if you start comparing locals clubs to the Shannon area. Clare league will get stronger with ST in it!

[Hibs7772]

Shannon Town would win the first division without a doubt (if they kept the same squad they have this season for next) They would more than likely stay up in the premier, if not finish top 5/6. With them having a B team could the A and B team both join the 3rd division or is there a rule that prevents this? If so, surely the A team would join the 2nd division and the B team the 3rd. Don't know how they could be put straight into the premier or the 1st division doesn't make any sense and as was said isn't fair on other clubs in those divisions

[Two Feet Up]

still not heard of the reason why Shannon town would join the clare league. They left in the first place because they were too strong for the clare league and fancied their chances playing ion a a stronger league. Don't know how many years ago that was , wonder how many of them have been spent in the premier league in Limerick?

Now that they can't get back up there , they plan to go to the 'weaker' league, why is this?

What is the benefit? anybody from ST was to let us know the thinking?

also think that football unites is right, still the problem of to many clubs in Shannon , all supported by players that have little loyalty and are a fickle as football fans....

[Shuffleruns]

Is it confirmed that st are switching to the clare league? Neenah are moving from tipp to limerick now and apparently going in at 1A so will replace st

shuffleruns I posted this news ages ago clare people confirmed story in last week or so .. as I already said the only thing that can stop them returning to clare league is if the limerick league don't sign the release paperwork , but by all accounts limerick will let them go but don't think they will ever be welcomed back to limerick if things don't work out in clare

two feet up .. im sure you know chairman / committee members feel free to ask them

[YNWA]

Looks very likely that Shannon Town will be in Clare First Division next season. Managers last club will be there too and seems a few clubs already there not happy. Next delegate meeting is goin to be interesting

[Two Feet Up]

two feet up .. im sure you know chairman / committee members feel free to ask them

not that well connected to ST, but do have an interest as to why they are doing it. If they want to share it here great...

[Shuffleruns]

I'm hearing Shannon Town are joining the Clare League next season.... Roll up roll up!

[old git]

two feet up .. most of them live/ work in Shannon not to hard to bump into them ? why would they they want to share reasons on this forum they had an EGM A couple of weeks back and voted in favour of move . local talk is the move was done favour of the underage teams reckon they will get more kids picked for kennedy cup/ underage county teams etc and should help players development ?

[don't panic]

Like Old git says, why would anyone from shannon town feel the need to come on here and justify their decision. By all accounts the vote at the egm was unanimous and the fact that they actually held one has to be admired. I think its about time people on here start to give them credit, they have been going for nearly 50 years now and like all clubs have had their ups and downs and im pretty sure whatever their reasons it was done for what they think is the good of THEIR club

[Football-Unites]

Jeez lads, calm down, I don't think anyone was on here not giving them credit or saying anything negative - people just wondering about the reason behind the decision - that's all. I don't even think people were asking them to justify their decision - more just interested. People are very sensitive.
This is a football forum after all - or is it not ?

[Shuffleruns]

And looks like hibs will be playing 2A footy next season. Soccer in Shannon is on the up

[Coolcat]

What's stopping hibs doing the same and Joining the Clare league..At this stage div 2a(really div 3) doesn't sound appealing!!!

It's actually div 4.. prem 1A 1B 2A

[don't panic]

But yet in the eyes of the egos that run the club . They are still the top club in the town

don't panic you are way off the mark with that statement .. the people that run the club are struggling to keep it going the Egos involved ran away a couple of years back :D

[don't panic]

Thats your opinion old git. Mine and that of others is that good football people walked away because they could no longer deal with the people they jumped into bed with the. The fact that the club is being dictated to by coerver inc and a few of his lackies is shameful.

[Black or White]

Has to be one of the poorest OT teams in a while

[Shuffleruns]

Doing alright there 2up Sligo-Leitrim mustn't be great!

jesus will you stop about the good football people who walked away ?? park rangers did a wonderful job to get riverside up and running and from what I heard they were more than happy to join with newtown what I cant understand is if they were such good football people why walk away from a club / facility you built up without a fight surely they could have hung around and tried to sort things out ? a lot of problems with hibs but again you cant blame it all on the current committee .. Coerver inc and his lackies I'm lost here :ball:

[old git]

R.I.P frank healy and condolences to his family.

[footballfriend]

Good win for OT squad. Why were so many missing though? Only 1 outfield sub.

[younglawd]

Two late injuries and few away. If the lads that were missing are all fit should strengthen the team massively

[funkyplunkers]

Any results from tonight?. Nothing up on website yet

Ha ha. Ya we were up alright. Know all there weaknesses now. 3 games in 6 days, think I'm a bit old for that carry on.

[Rider Cups]

Bad loss Funky what happened ? Need to pick up the pieces for the cup game .

We were 1-0 up at half time but newmarket came out second half and tore into us. They were way better than us in 2nd half and fully deserved the win

[Coolcat]

Hard to see anybody stopping Newmarket doing the double now after winning yesterday...

[Rider Cups]

They look certs for the league but you never know in the cup especially with Newmarket's busy schedule, and the likes of Bridge utd have given them problems in the past.

[Shuffleruns]

Tough enough defeat for Newmarket in MJC the weekend what happened there? They'd a great chance this year to go all the way.... Unlucky!

[Coolcat]

From what I heard they were on top till they let in soft goal just before ht.then 2nd half Newmarket player sent off and chasing game from then on..

[Rider Cups]

That is a fairly handy Newmarket side , just goes to show how difficult it will be for a Clare team to win it .

This might be a stupid question but I honestly don't have a clue, have a Clare team ever won the MJC?

[Side Cutter]

I dont think so. I know newmarket were beaten in the final back in the 80s

[mouldedstuds]

optimism was high in the NOF camp, judging by a quote prior to the game, saying they were the best squad in the country.
pity to go so close for second year in a row.
they probably need a few more players from other clubs if they want to make the big push thru for next year.
