Looks like the Bunratty v Olympic game was the only one played, congrats to Olympic, morale must be high, the big Clash on Tuesday should be some game, winner takes all?

[CousinSylDolan]

Yeah the 2 games went ahead in Bunratty....

Premier...Bunratty 2 3 Newmarket.
1st....Bunratty B 1 5 Olympic.

2 bad results really for the Rats. Premier game was a bit harsh really as they did not deserve to lose really. Thats football though I suppose.

Credit to Olympic though they fully deserved their win despite Rats taking the lead. Some nice football played despite the conditions.
Sets it all up for Tues night really... Huge game.

Does anyone else think its a bit much to be asking players to play on a Monday night and then again on Wednesday when there are no games in the division the following night surely the games could be played on thursday... Olympic have asked for the weekend off as we have lads away but they should give teams at least 2 days to rest i think HARPS are in the same boat, when is reality going to hit the clare league that they cant keep holding the season up all year and then rush the games off in 2 or 3 weeks

[CousinSylDolan]

hey cousinsyl..... i think some of those results are incorrect...
lifford beat turnpike 1-0 in the youths cup final

Well done to all involved with the 'tage!!! :ball:

These are the results received off fixtures secretaty Ml Lydon. If there are mistakes I suggest he is informed by the clubs involved or these results will be recorded as I got them...

[Prem Rep!]

Last Friday I said that I did not think that they would maintain their recent league form but they have proved me wrong by beating Bunratty yesterday and subsequently ending Bunrattys hopes of holding on to their title. Thing is with Newmarket, when they pull together they have a team spirit that is second to none. However, when it goes the other way they could end up fighting with each other and dropping points where they should not.
They are scoring freely, who knows where the title will end up!
4 horse race now though!

Any predictions for the Monster game in bridgetown 2moro Night??

Hey Syl any sign of official confirmation of the midweek results? There seems to be a glut of results missing for the lowly 3rd division including one of ours.

[Pauliwallnuts]

Just back from the delegate meeting which was nothing short of a load of dross. Total & utter waste of time but thats the CFL for you.

They're going to start the league 2 weeks earlier next year. Big Swing !!

Guy from Moher has been given the job of technical advisor for Clare/Limerick & North Tipp. Made a wonderful speech ;)

Avenue were giving out about the amount of teams training in the fairgreen.
Mainly GAA teams. Kilmaley rep walked out as Avenue rep called the Kilmaley lads a bunch of horses in a roundabout way. F Healy then had a little strop as I think rep was his son. That was the main highlight of the night :o :o

Draw was made for the cup semis

Moher v Avenue B
Newtown v Corofin Harps

Half the cups missing :D

Anyway I told ye I'd give an update & thats about the sum of it.
Fiercely enjoyable stuff :rolleyes:

[MadMick]

What is happening no one from Olympic alive? Maybe the Manager has locked them up until this evening.

Come on Celtic the league is there for the taking!!!! All the big guns are available so there should only be one winner tonight and the weather won't save them this time!!

Celtic do not have all the big guns available for tonights. They are missing three, one still banned, and two missing due to injury should be a good match though.
I tip Celtic to win but just 2-1.

less of the gamesmanship now Arsene, I mean gaffer........none of your players will be missing tonight. On the other hand we are missing 8, two lads washing their hair, one guy is playing dominoes, the other five are going to a hopscotch competition...........

Jesus OpenGoal just tell the truth we are all afraid of what Maddick might say to us when we get hammered by B celtic and thats why none of us are going....or at least that is what everyone is saying is going to happen should we even bother to travel, my hair could do with a wash and i rented series 1,2,3 of Friends if you want to call over with the rest of the lads and we can have a good chat,if Maddick whats to come we can paint his nails :p

It's not my nails that get painted but I do get my hair rinsed once a month!

[footstar]

Any predictions for the Monster game in bridgetown 2moro Night??
Bridge Celtic V Shannon Olympic
should be a good game with two good footballing teams. olympic defence who have the least amount of goals conceded are up for a right battle against brigde town's attacking players who are top scorers this season. too hard to say who will come out on top of this one but hopfully it's olympic.

[Clifford]

Lifford are a fine side who try to play football in the right manner.
If they were to win the league nobody would have any complaints, at least they are trying to go in the right direction. Where as Avenue are the complete opposite, good footballers but the most unsporting in the league. They winge like hell when the lose as I'm sure Bunratty found out last night and really rub opponents faces in it when they win.
To be fair I think Bunratty played themselves back into the running last night. Bridge are not in the best form at the minute, Newmarket seem to be fading. Maybe a late Bunratty or Lifford surge could clinch it.

sure what team dosen't winge when there losing?????????? as for unsporting??
most unsporting team i have seen this season is the tage, congrats for winning league last week but some of their players and supporters need to learn some sporting ethics like gracious in victory as defeat.
don't write newmarket off, at your peril. these boys have more fight than lifford and avenue put together. last six games before they lost to avenue they had 5 clean sheets. in cup i heard there was big money made on hedgehunter. which in the buzz of the afternoon made a few of the players unavailable. that would frustrate any team before they played. but there fighting spirit will see them through.

[Clifford]

I think Avenue may still be in pole position. You just know with Avenue, if you give them a sniff they'll be well up for it. Saying that, it may have been the old Avenue (Current B Team) who held those credentials. Not sure about the current crop!
There are a lot of top 5 clashes remaining and I cannot see one side winning all there top 5 clashes (probably will break even as the sides are closely matched), I feel that the team who does not slip up against the non title contenders will win the league.

37 points will win the league and that means Bunratty must win all there games. It is a big ask but they have the lads to do it.
Newmarket squad is a bit skinny at the moment and I cannot see them winning 4/5 remaining games.
That leaves the 2 Ennis sides and the Bridge. If the bridge can take all 6 points from there next two home games (Rineanna and Cratloe) they will be well up for a trip to the capital (potentially Sunday week).

It's looking like it's going to Ennis but the Bridge may spoil the party!!

ya avenue were a joke at the start. first five games but were bollocked out of it before one match by ex player and went unbeaten in eight to tie them up nicely. 2 defeats in a row will have knocked them back. lifford are a nice balanced team that can pull off a shock (to some but those that have seen them play ) sorry don't like the bridge would even like to see newmarket win it before them. the dark horses of the race as everyone thinks they lost there chance against avenue.

As far as I know Ml Lydon was saying the final would be on the 22nd of May.
The semi's could be on May the 1st (guessing here) but he did say 1 semi would be on a Saturday evening and the other on the Sunday....

I expect Newtown and Moher to contest the final. As for the premier lg... looks like it could be Newmarket as they have the easiest run-in... They were blessed last Sunday too so that could be a sign...

couple of things,the technical advisor is Dennis Hynes from Moher.
Hermitage gave out about everyone using the Fairgreen,from Lisseycasey footballers to clare footballers,hurlers and camogie,it was also mentioned that there is American football played on the green and correct the Avenue delegate said that it was like they were training horses as they had a circle made in the pitch by running around.The Kilmaley delegate took offence as i believe he was one of the so called horses and he is also Frank Healy's son.
having said that i agree with Pauli,meeting was a waste of time............

[Prem Rep!]

If there is a winner from tonights game between Lifford and Newmarket, they will be clear favourites for the title in my thinking. Everyone disregarded Newmarket after they lost a few of there stronger lads but fair play, they stuck to it and are in with a shot. You need a slice of fortune to win the league and Newmarket seem to be getting the breaks at the minute.
Newtown and Avenue will also be a good game tonight in which we may see a stalemate to suit all other contenders. Bridge should overcome Cratloe tomorrow night but who knows what could happen in a local derby. Bridge's form is poor and Cratloe have beaten them already.
Avenue and the Bridge Sunday will be interesting. THis time next week we will know a whole lot more about the destination of the title.

[CousinSylDolan]

What about tonights game in div 1 , who will you be putting your money on after playing both teams in the last week :o

I'm afraid I'll have to sit on the fence and say a share of the spoils.... which will suit Mntshn down to the ground.

If I had to pick a winner though I'd be siding towards our neighbours from Shannon.

Impossible call it though and it will be who performs on the night.

[BallBreaker]

[QUOTE=Prem Rep!]Newtown and Avenue will also be a good game tonight in which we may see a stalemate to suit all other contenders.

Not so sure about Moher making the final. I'd go for experience over youth any day and the Avenue B lads (when they have a full team) aren't exactly over the hill yet!!!

[Pauliwallnuts]

Not so sure about Moher making the final. I'd go for experience over youth any day and the Avenue B lads (when they have a full team) aren't exactly over the hill yet!!!

I'd be inclined to agree with you there.
Avenue B will be well up for it & even more so since they felt they threw it away last year .Could be wrong about that but as far as I remember they made the semis last year as well & were knocked out by Mountshannon even though they had dominated the game from start to finish.

[Pauliwallnuts]

Anyway Predictions for this year in the CFL are as follows

I'll probably get slated but sur so what

Premier Champions--Bridge Utd
Runners Up---------Newmarket Celtic
Relegated----------Connoly Celtic
Relegated----------Cratloe Celtic
Relegated----------Lifford/Oldtown

1st Division Champs-Bridge Celtic A
Runners Up---------Kilkishen Celtic A
Also Promoted------Corofin Harps
Relegated----------Kilrush Rangers
Relegated----------Bunratty B

2nd Division Champs-Avenue Utd B
Runners Up----------Hermitage
Relegated-----------Cratloe Celtic B
Relegated-----------CooraClare Celtic
Relegated-----------Bridge Utd B

3rd Division Champs--Kilkee
Runners Up----------Ennistymon Town
Also Promoted-------Shannon Olympic B

Just bringing up my predictions from early in the season

I still think Bridge utd will win the premier. I was well wrong about Lifford/Oldtown though. I didn't think they would be where they are now & they can still win it. Connoly are gone & I still think Cratloe will be relegated.
Moher will probably go down as well.

In the 1st I still think Bridge Celtic will triumph but tonights game is massive.
Mountshannon have suprised me & they may have done enough to go up with their points in the bag. Olympic have also suprised me but fair play to them. They should have enough to go up along with Bridge Celtic.Kilkishen are the only other team in the mix but they will be dissapointed by the season overall.They can still catch Mountshannon for a playoff but would have to beat Oly & Bridge in their remaining fixtures which is a tall order.
As predicted Bunratty & Kilrush will go down.Kilmaley may have to play a relegation play-off but they should win that if its the Burren that is.

In Div 2 Hermitage have ran away with it & unless they **** it up Avenue B will go up with them.The Burren will most likely play off for promotion but I expect them to stay in Div 2. This division has been most notable this year for the fact that Kincora dropped out before the start of the season & both Cratloe B & Tullcrine dropped out lately. So I expect nobody will get relegated from this division.

Kilkee should win Div 3 but a cause for concern must be the fact that their form isn't great at the moment.Ennistymon will finish 2nd & its between Manus & Oly B for 3rd. Tulla B also dropped out of this division.

All in all my predictions look to be on course in the main with a couple of suprises. It will all be known in a couple of weeks.

[MadMick]

less of the gamesmanship now Arsene, I mean gaffer........none of your players will be missing tonight. On the other hand we are missing 8, two lads washing their hair, one guy is playing dominoes, the other five are going to a hopscotch competition...........

6-1 says it all, no need to say anything your faces after the game said it all, Kilkishen to finish 3rd now.

[Murphman]

Bridge Celtic 6 Shannon Olympic 1
(Scorers for the Bridge: Ger O' Connell 1, Paul Mcevoy 1, Ricky Moate 3 and an own goal from Olympic Player.)

[Murphman]

Any other results??

[Murphman]

Bridge Celtic 6 Shannon Olympic 1
(Scorers for the Bridge: Ger O' Connell 1, Paul Mcevoy 1, Ricky Moate 2, David Hickey 1 and an own goal from Olympic Player.)

[Pauliwallnuts]

Wow that was just emphatic. Champions elect for sure !!

Kilkishen beat Bunratty B 4 - 1 tonight.

[4-4-2]

6-1 says it all, no need to say anything your faces after the game said it all, Kilkishen to finish 3rd now


fair play to bridge celtic in all fairness they should have went up last year ...but threw it away with a few games to go... can't see them slipping up this year ...as for you mad mick...did you get rejected from olympic when you were younger or what...it's amazing someone can hate a club so much....i'd love to know why or what club you play for...it could explain your anger...but then again when you travel to all these matches you must not play for a team...your sad really..
sure come down to our b team next year we need a water boy......

Yip a very bad night for Olympic but these things happen in football, teams get nights where nothing falls right but we'll take it on the chin and move on fair play to Bridge they took advantage of how bad we played and mad us pay but that was last night and its over now,we have 3 games to go and 3 wins and where up , then we will get a chance next season to put last nights result right....hope Bridge can go on and win it now but we will finish second and if they slip up then who knows, as they say its a funny old game ...good game Bridge :ball:

[plasticpitch]

lifford 0 0 newmarket
lifford and newmarket palyed out an entertaining scoreless draw last night. after paddy dunne had settled down and stopped giving frees in the wrong direction(for both teams) it was an open match with both teams going for and a couple of good scoring chances. both keepers made good saves, mike haeth making a full length stop from whacker lawlor. Lifford probably had the better of the 2nd half chances and had a great chance to win it with the last kick of the game but jonny ryan made an excellent stop to keep his side in the title race.
Fair play to both sides who played sporting soccer ..... and magically no dismissals except for 2 spectators by that magic man in black.... Pa Dunne!.....now get out onto the road r we'll have no match..go on, go on :D

[clownboy]

Bridge Celtic 6 Shannon Olympic 1
(Scorers for the Bridge: Ger O' Connell 1, Paul Mcevoy 1, Ricky Moate 2, David Hickey 1 and an own goal from Olympic Player.)


Is that the same Ger O'Connell that played in goal with the Clare Hurlers now with Limerick Hurlers and played with Pike At the start of the season??

[Murphman]

Is that the same Ger O'Connell that played in goal with the Clare Hurlers now with Limerick Hurlers and played with Pike At the start of the season??


Yes it is the same guy.

[CousinSylDolan]

Is that the same Ger O'Connell that played in goal with the Clare Hurlers now with Limerick Hurlers and played with Pike At the start of the season??

That is the same Ger O'Connell yeah!!!!!!!

Rats B were up to their old tricks again last night. Went 1-0 up again and then conceded the usual calamity of goals... Of the 4 conceded 1 was a possible handball (I'll have to question SD), and OG, a penalty and a mistake by our sub keeper. The clearance off the line by Kilkishen at 1-1 early in the second half was crucial and to be fair Kilkishen were the better team...despite all their bickering at that poor lad in the middle of the field.

Frankie Coote in the hat was some sight.... Made the trip worthwhile.

Jeez lads that 6-1 was some result last night... I never expected a scoreline like that. Did Olympic show up at all or were Celtic just truly SPECIAL on the night. Celtic have some fine players all over the field... Hickey,O'Connell, Moate....

Am I right to say Olympic need 9 points from their last 3 games to go above Mntshn. Away to Corofin and Kilmaley in the space of 3 days next week and home to Kilkishen in the last game. Still possible of course.

Those 4 dropped points against Kilrush could prove costly though!!!!!

Were Oly in the game at all last night or was it over early on??????
What king of team lined up.

Ger played very well last night as did everyone on the Bridge celtic panel..

What a result (6-1) who can stop them scoring, they looked extremely good going forward last night and their defence is very strong too.
Great game to watch, you could feel the tension.... Fair game eventhough there were some tough battles on and off the pitch... Majority of S. olympic players very sporting and maybe on a different night, things could have been so much better for Olympic, but its fair to say the best team on the night won. The game had everything, great passing and some great goals.

The league is there for them but have they the bottle to finish the job and get that place in the Premier... We'll have to wait and see...

[4-4-2]

That is the same Ger O'Connell yeah!!!!!!!

Rats B were up to their old tricks again last night. Went 1-0 up again and then conceded the usual calamity of goals... Of the 4 conceded 1 was a possible handball (I'll have to question SD), and OG, a penalty and a mistake by our sub keeper. The clearance off the line by Kilkishen at 1-1 early in the second half was crucial and to be fair Kilkishen were the better team...despite all their bickering at that poor lad in the middle of the field.

Frankie Coote in the hat was some sight.... Made the trip worthwhile.

Jeez lads that 6-1 was some result last night... I never expected a scoreline like that. Did Olympic show up at all or were Celtic just truly SPECIAL on the night. Celtic have some fine players all over the field... Hickey,O'Connell, Moate....

Am I right to say Olympic need 9 points from their last 3 games to go above Mntshn. Away to Corofin and Kilmaley in the space of 3 days next week and home to Kilkishen in the last game. Still possible of course.

Those 4 dropped points against Kilrush could prove costly though!!!!!

Were Oly in the game at all last night or was it over early on??????
What king of team lined up.
Full team, i think if we had taken a few of our chances it would have been differnt but it just was not going to happen,one of those night's every thing they touched turned to gold and everything we touched turned to..well lets just say we have a lot of lead if anyone wants it, it hurt but it will spur us on for the rest of the season

Yeah, fair play to Bridge. Deserved the win. 6-1 was very flattering as possession was about 50-50 but 2/3- 1 would have been a fairer reflection. But take nothing away from Bridge, they definately deserved deserve it. Didnt help us Gazzie and Kieran McCarthy getting injured but these things happen. Not sure what chances people are talking about us missing. I dont remember one clear cut chances we created, a few speculative efforts perhaps but thats all. Ger(jellylegs)O'Connell fell about all over the place(as predicted by me earlier in this thread) but in the end he was too good for our defence, and is a great addition to bridge Celtic. That Ricky guy is also a fine player, very enthusiastic runner.

we really wanted the win last night but maybe we've been taught a lesson in how to put a team under pressure when we dont have the ball. That was the difference last night.

Olympic started quite strong with their big centre-forward winning alot of ball in the air (Why wouldn't he be after the Butt rubbing he got before the game? You really don't want to know..)

The Bridge scored the vital first and then second goal at key times in the first half (P. Mcevoy and then Own goal). Olympic went flat with the shock i think.

Of course olympic went all out to get back into this vital game but this just left space for the quick wingers of B.C(T. Howard very good down the right and s. Byrnes down the left was very effective.)

Bridge then totally knocked the wind out of Oly sails with 2 more quick goals from R. Moate and G.O'Connell... The game had everything with penalty appeals on either side and loads of banter from both sets of supporters, players and managers...Oh and mr halloran got his fair share of abuse.

Great game for us though which was capped with a fantastic individual goal from david hickey and then a very soft goal which Ricky Moate gratefully accepted after olympics keeper had butter fingers.

B.C- team : Goalkeeper:Sean fleming Defence: William slattery,Daniel Aherne, Brian Cosgrove, Patrick Murtagh. Midfield Trevor Howard, Ricky moate, David Hickey, Shane Byrnes Forwards Paul Mcevoy, Ger O' Connell Subs: Peter Murphy

Yes it is the same guy.
I never knew that he transferred from Pike...Good player very quick..Best of luck to him..Hopefully he can do a good job for our hurlers too we could badly do with a good run
