Dead right there Hacker!!!!!!! Paddy is now with the A team but is that not the idea of having a B team. It keeps pressure on the A team knowing they can be replaced by strong B players at any time....

Makes it even funnier that Bunratty B can still compete reasonably strongly in the 1st division against so called A teams....

Maybe your right about the Rock game!!!!!!! Its not a big deal really seen as Bunratty still won the game 3-2.... Now Drop it!!!!!!!!! :mad:

Well, if your going to whinge like a girl, expect this kind of response :p

As for slating olympic players, check out a2zsoccer website(and current league positions) and I think you'll find your arguement to be groundless.

As for Bunratty, the last time I was out at their "pitch", I honestly thought it was a 5-a-side or kids pitch. And a bad one at that. Do they still play out there? I hope not, if they do it must be quiet embarrassing for them!

Name 1 of the Olympic players I slated. I think you become a little confused and mixed me up with someone else...

League table does not lie I'll agree.... but if Oly A as ususal set their sights on finishing above Bunratty B then it says it all about them. Why not grow some balls and go challenge for promotion for once.....

And your comment about our pitch.... Well if anyone in Clare has a perfect pitch they every right to sneer at ours. Facts are in Bunratty you will find a pitch playable 12 months of the year (is Oly's) dressing rooms for home and away teams (do Oly) and a floodlit training facility (do Oly)

Apologies if I have misread the forum, but.........

In any case, I think the problem here lies with the fact that shannon olympic dont really give a t*ss about bunratty B. Olympic do not consider bunratty to be a derby. I think your dislike seems to be one-way. Perhaps, some ex-bunratty players in olympics ranks may feel some rivalry but most dont. Our derby is Newtown and always will be.

Does anyone know who's playing in goals for Newtown this year?

Paul I agree with your predictions for the most part. The tie of the round would have to be the SOBs against Kilkee as all the other games seem to have clear favourites. It's the top 2 in the 3rd division and it was 2-2 last time they met in Kilkee as you probably know from those match reports on a2z. Could also be a good indicator of who will go on and win the division. Anyone know what time these games kick off at? Oh and what makes you say that Kilkee are the better side?

Mountshannon aren't playing among the rushes anymore, they've moved to Sacriff. They are very up and down at the moment and it really depends on who turns up on any given Sunday. They have a few dedicated and very determined players/officials but don't seem to have the required backup to mount a sustained challenge. With basically the pick of the Whitegate/Scariff/Bodyke/Feakle region, they should challenge stronger and when they put their minds to it they can. Last week they played Tulla (as close to a local derby as Mountshannon can get) and by all accounts deserved the points. Since you're asking now, I presume you're with Bunratty B and having seen ye last Sunday, I'd say ye are more than capable of beating them. Just don't let the game get too physical or ye'll hand it to them.

Unfortunately Bunratty B cannot go up to the premier division as their A team are there. So unless the Bunratty A go from champions to being relegated in 1 season Bunratty B will not be promoted.

TBH staying in the 1st division is priority as no wins from the 1st 6 games is hardly the form of a team challenging at the top.

The division seems wide open at the moment. I fancy Olympic, Bridge Celtic, Tulla and Mntshn to battle for the top 2 spots but you cant write off Rock, Corofin or Kilkishen. As I say wide open....7 teams with all to play for.

Sorry, Opengoal, I quoted you because you had referred to Mountshannon but it was Cousinsyl who had originally asked what they were like, therefore it was he I guessed was from Bunratty B, though with all the sh1t that's been flying the last couple of days that has been pretty much confirmed. (By the way CSD where do you get all the time to be visiting this site ... I'll tell my sister-in-law Sandra and she'll report you to the boss!!!). Anyway, my knowledge of Div.1 stems from me standing on the sideline every Sunday watching my team going into decline. Bunratty B may have lost a few early on but we are the form team for the drop if the last 3 games are anything to go by. Recently I've watched Olympic who have been very impressive, say what you like about Rob, but he's doing a good job there. Corofin are strong at home but only because of their pitch ... they'll struggle big time in the away games.

Kilmaley can beat any team in the division on their day as they showed against Bridge Celtic a couple of weeks ago but again are too inconsistent. Kilkishen looked really good early on but have lost too many of their best players already. If they can get their act back together they can still challenge but at the moment it doesn't look good. Bunratty B are a decent side when they have their best 11 out but having to support their A team comes against them (Pat O'Halloran etc). However, having no outstanding players seems to be in their favour as they are well balanced and work hard for each other. The class team in the division for me is Bridge Celtic. They had a great run in the FAI and look set to carry that through to the league. Ger O'Connell is also a big addition. As long as they stay focussed and don't lose too much to the GAA I can't see anyone else winning the division.

Olympic for runners up and a dogfight for the play-off spot. As for this week-end, Mountshannon and Bunratty is tough to call. After seeing Bunratty last weekend I think they could do it but I haven't seen Mountshannon in a while so I'll reserve judgement. Olympic should have too much for Corofin at home and I fancy Kilmaley to take the points against Rock who seem to be struggling lately. Bridge Celtic should of course stuff Kilkishen but we'll see ... we live in hope. Finally, do I rate Bunratty B? They can't be promoted as CSD stated but only for a tame finish last season they could have finished in the top 3. They don't seem to be as strong this year and have already dropped too many points to be contenders. However, anyone who thinks they'll be a walkover could end up with egg on their faces ... ask Rock and Kilkishen.

If only they had been satisfied with just taking Bryan, afterwards they came back for Declan Farmer and now they have Gary Flynn who is just coming back from a cruciate operation training with them. We've been raped!!!!
Incidentally we were in the 1st four years back but the stay was very brief. Let's hope it lasts a bit longer this time.

Ger O'Connell is pretty handy, but by no means their best player. He has an awful tendency to hold onto the ball, which can frustrate team-mates. His strong point is running at defenders and drawing fouls, and has the art of falling to the ground down to a t. His brother Barry plays on the left wing, and is very tricky indeed. In my (humble :) ) opinion, their best player, and probably the best player in the division is the midfielder/centre-half , a guy called Daniel. To me, he is the difference between Bridge Celtic and the other teams in the division.

Very early prediction for the league from what I've seen would be

Bridge
Olympic
Tulla
Mountshannon
Kilmaley
Rock
Kilkishen
Corofin
Bunratty
Kilrush

Let's be honest,if a fella has potential he is not going to remain in the Clare league no matter how much he loves his club,perceptions are a hard thing and the perception is Limerick is a higher class than Clare.Jim Madden is doing his best but we are 2nd by a long way to the GAA :( ,Connolly or Moher didn't play a match while the Gaa clubs were still in competition,i even think Connolly gave a walkover in the FAI junior cup.

The guys in question are not gone to junior clubs in Limerick but to Limerick FC. I'm certainly not saying they shouldn't go, on the contrary, if they're good enough I think they should play at the highest possible level. It does make it difficult for smaller clubs though that as soon as they produce a decent player, someone bigger steps in and poaches him. For years, our club was a breeding ground for good young players but never had enough at any one time to sustain a challenge. Premier clubs seemed to think that they could just come along and offer any of our players football at a higher level and they would be gone. As a result, we stayed yo-yoing between the 2nd and 3rd divisions. Last season after a sustained effort, many of these players agreed to come back and have a good go at getting us out of that situation and we won the 2nd division for the first time. Now, the sharks seem to be circling again only bigger ones this time. I know we're not the only club to suffer this way but it really makes you wonder why some people bother !!!

I agree,but nothing can be done to stop it,the top teams in Clare can never be consistantly up there Nationally because of perceptions and the GAA.
The premier league in Clare at the moment is a joke,every team is struggling week in week out,i would say the reason they won the oscar traynor last year was they trained together every week and were more like a club team and fought hard on the pitch. :mad: :mad:

Not sure if NOTHING can be done but it would take a concerted and combined effort. The LDSL (Limerick League) have decided to fight back and are entering a combined U-21 team into the national U-21 league. This is designed to combat Limerick FC setting up an U-21 team to poach the best underage players from the junior clubs. They offer the promising youngsters national competition with their peers but the number of games is limited as they are only involved with the 1 team unless they are good enough to play with the seniors. Under the LDSL, the players can play U-21 representatively but also retain junior status and play with their club ..... If I was in the position, I know I'd rather the best of both worlds.

No... Mountshannon played well but it was 1-0 for about 70 mins. Bunratty also hit the crossbar with a free kick. Mountshannon deserved their win but not by 3-0. The 3rd goal was a penalty in the last minute.

Who scored for Special Olympic yesterday??????? Good win!!!!!!!

Ger O'Connell is pretty handy, but by no means their best player. He has an awful tendency to hold onto the ball, which can frustrate team-mates. His strong point is running at defenders and drawing fouls, and has the art of falling to the ground down to a t. His brother Barry plays on the left wing, and is very tricky indeed. In my (humble :) ) opinion, their best player, and probably the best player in the division is the midfielder/centre-half , a guy called Daniel. To me, he is the difference between Bridge Celtic and the other teams in the division.



Having watched Bridge Celtic V Kilkishen yesterday (Best game I've seen this season, very close with Bridge just about deserving to edge it, and well handled by ref Dave Mc Carthy) it has reinforced my opinion that Bridge will win the league. The player you mentioned was Daniel Ahern, son of their manager as far as I know. Don't think he's their only player though, they are solid all over the field and all can play football. Steve Howard, is solid as ever but he has two good full backs in Will Slattery and Brian Coscrove, They are very strong in the middle with the two Aherns and the O'Connells and Ricky Moath up front will cause problems for any defence, but the real gem they have is David Hickey who started on the right wing but swithed over and back to the left a few times. He's lightning fast and well able to play. Well able to score a goal too as we found out.
