I hear Barry Downes is moving house from the Bridge to Rineanna and thinking about signing for either Newmarket,Rineanna or Newtown.Can you shed some light on this,
PremRep?
So your saying its because he's moving,thats the reason he's signing for someone else..?Sure its only ten minutes away....its not like he has to travel miles!:confused:

[Prem Rep!]

Not likely Dinger!

[Clifford]

clifford are they a munster senior league side... cobh wanderers ??

MSL Div1, were Prem up to two/three years ago, couldn't field a strong team so disbanded it for a year or two. Now re-entered at Div 1 level, should win that and come back up to the Prem.

I think.

[townie]

the goalkeeper that played for pike is marty whelan eire og aswell he never played for avenue but was an excellent goalkeeper underage! gary flynn also signed for em as far as i know but he is crocked with injuries so dunno how much use they will get out of him!

If he has a pint in the Honk the form for Rineanna will be the beer mat.

No Shelbourne you are quite right,in fact the chairman said that all bank holidays would be free and be known as family weekends,only problem was no one told the fixtures secretary.........

typical of the forever changing goalposts in the clare league, just when you think things are improving.....as a player with a family my major problem is the fact that a league can fix games on a bank holiday monday rather than a Sunday. What is the thinking behind that? Is it to suit the ref's, cause it does no favours to any player I can think of. Its about time a bit of common sense was used.:mad:

Gents does anyone know when the oscar traynor' s will be playing their firse game??

As far as I'm aware they got a walkover last Sunday. I know they did not play but I think one of the Cork Leagues pulled out.

I think the next game is down for November 26th a Saturday. They are hoping to play the 3rd group game in December sometime but its likely to be early next year.

Anyone confirm this?:confused:

[Prem Rep!]

All games off at the weekend with the exception of FAI, Munster Junior, FAI Youths and Schoolboy Cup games.

Oscar Traynors play Hill Celtic next Tues night the 8th of November in a friendly and play on the 19th of November (not 26th) in the 1st game...

Why??

[CousinSylDolan]

Inclement weather conditions all week....

[plasticpitch]

i wonder will the big game this weekend go ahead at stadio fairgreeno or will it's pond like features force it to b played in Digifone. Will be a cracking game. neither team have a hope of winning FAI but this is a definite cup final!!! I think that avenue will have too much going forward for 'tage. They haven't really been tested at the back this year(from the games i've seen)!!

[CousinSylDolan]

Newtown vs St. Brendans has been switched to "Dodgyphone Park" I hear...

I hope Newtown is not waterlogged as bad as it was last time, when Stony and the boys were pictured in the paper 2 and a half foot deep in water in their wellies...:D :D :D

They haven't really been tested at the back this year(from the games i've seen)!!

the game went ahead in digifone. the result was 3-1. tage went ahead after 5 min. dully poked it home. avenue had the strong breeze and had tage on the back foot. monie leveled and on the stroke of half time eamon o'reilly blasted home from a corner. second half avenue got a penalty 20 mins in (harsh but made up for the blatant one in the first half) pa wilson 3-1. avenue hit the post, crossbar, headed and shot at keeper from 6 yards out. it could have been 7 and tage came into this game shouting that there was nothing between the teams and it will boil down to heart and who wants it more on the day. well they went home with there tails between there legs. for a team and supporters who always seem to have plenty to say they were pretty quiet. as for winning the fai avenue will not be afraid of any team especially with the squad they have. it is every bit as good as 1997 team that got to semi.

i take it you are involved with avenue then ,,, don't get two carried away after all hermiatge are a 1st division team ... will be a lot harder teams to play along the way to try & better team of 1997 & i doubt if current avenue panel would have the same class & ability of that great avenue 1997 team...

fully expected avenue to beat 'tage and i'm sure the score line doesn't flatter them. i think that they have a great chance of getting to at least last 32 of FAI. they have an excellent squad and have replacements for every position. just wondering about next weeks ennis derby(which i'm sure won't be as 1 sided) how come the game against corofin wasn't played?? thought that was supposed to be ave's 2nd round match??

it was played sunday before last in lees road. avenue won 2-0 but made very hard work of it. the second come with 2 mins to go. when a team gets that far anything can happen. home advantage a lucky break etc.
lifford avenue games have always been tight and i dont expext it to be any different next week, but i still be hoping avenue will win. unlike the tage we will do our talking on the pitch

we always knew avenue A are better than tage but lets just say they didn't. there claim to fame is beating avenue b team. having to endure there **** for so long nice to put them back into there box.
as for 1997 believe me when i tell you there not a million miles apart, i have close connections to both. yes they will play much better teams along the way and might get beaten in the next round but who knows. all i know is at present avenue will not fear any team and will give it a good honest shot.

Newtown 3 St Brendans Tralee 1
A great result for Newtown yesterday after St Brendans in Ennis against Lifford in the previous round.Surprise choice of 40 year old Brendan Mackel at sweeper after Damien Alford and Mickey McCoy cried off.Things didnt look good after 15 minutes when Noel Donnellan was caught out of position and Mackel took the legs from the attacking Kerryman which Pat Gleeson,excellent throughout,corrrectly punished by awarding a penalty which was expertly converted.The home defence continued to look shaky against a speedy visiting frontline but despite the possesion Trevor O'Donnell was never threatened in the home goal as the Shannon side began to gain midfield possesion through the hardworking Gearoid Magee and the astute distribution of Jason Stretton.Up front Declan Cheeky McDonald always threatened and had a hairline decision overturn his great strike,while his striking partner Paul Butler was always a thorn in the Kerry defence.After a great cross from right winger Robert Wall was pushed on by Butler left winger Ryan Kelly lifted a smart chip over the head of the statuesque Kerry keeper to level matters brilliantly on 38minutes.
The second half continued in the same vein with Newtown appearing to want to win more in the atrocious conditions which eventually led to them taking the lead in the 65th minute with Kelly converting again from close in after a quick break from defense.Noel Donnellan now dominated competely after his shakey start and supported his midfield strongly in which Stretton and Wall had been replaced by Ray Quigley and Pa Devanney to keep the pressure on for a third goal which was always needed against the threatining visitors.That security arrived ten minutes from full time when the impressive Butler shot home after poor defensive work to put the game beyond St Brendans and Newtown into the next round.

always nice to win a derby ... good luck in next round nice to see clare league teams doing well .. and as if you say this team has potential to be as good as 97 team .. you will be extremly hard to beat .

thanks, the team added a bit of backbone last year when they won 8 r 9 of there last 10 league matches to win the league. there is still one or two ingredients to add, but i think they will win more matches then they lose. hey shels you should send that masterpiece into clare champion. they could do with some decent articles.
great result for newtown, brendans r supposed to be in top 2 r 3 in kerry. newtown also have had decent runs in fai so who knows. cratloe also had good win. any report on this.

[Nibzer]

Nice one.. St.Brendans..." EASY..... EASY":cool: :cool:

Thanks for the compliment Clifford Ive sent it to all the papers but lets see if its printed.I have to admit the result was not expected 2 weeks after getting thrashed at home 3 nil to Mountshannon.I spoke to the team afterwards and the old lads were all complimenting the young lads saying it was they who pulled it out of the hat.Butler,Wall,Kelly and Cheeky were exceptional ,as were Devanney and Quigley when they came on and not far behind was the great engine of Gearoid Magee on a really bad pitch which suited neither team but which newtown adapted better to.Nice to see James Mcdade back to his old form ,after his injuries in Thailand, for the last 2o minutes.However it takes more than this to win an FAI and they would be better off improving their league form and taking a chance on the Munster Cup which is eminently winnable.

[old boy]

i was indeed,were you?;)

no i had to bring my kids to the cinema !

[tralee_dynamo]

Just want to say fair play to Moher Celtic, they really put it up to Tralee Dynamos the w/end!. The final score of 4-2 didn't do them justice. I think the Clare league in general is on a huge improvement curve, and the regional results in the FAI Junior Cup are proof of that!

Dynamos will need to dramatically improve if they are to progress any further in the competition!!

certainly the results at the weekend would suggest the improvement you mention is there,but if you talk to people in the league it is almost like the trophies are won by default rather than by any great improvement in the standard of teams.

[Spudd]

As i asked in another thread...does anyone know when the draw's on for the next round of the F.A.I?

CousinSyl.....??:confused:

Don't get ahead of yourself..There is the small matter of getting past a lot of strong Limerick teams as well as the usual one or two teams from Tipp.

[see's it]

can anyone tell me how lifford are doing this season.do they still have the ex pro in charge?

CousinSyl.....??:confused:

Not too sure really. I'm told the draw is being done as per area this year. What I mean is each area (ie Limerick, Clare-Kerry-Desmond ect) are responsible for doing their own draws this year as is done in the MJC.

I saw here on foot.ie the draw for Tipp is being done this Saturday but not too sure when the Clare-Kerry-Desmond draw is being done. Maybe Saturday too????:confused:

A guy in the Fai thread says all Munster draws are being done Sat evening after the Oscar Traynor game between South Tipp and West Waterford. Draw being done in Cappaquin.

[Prem Rep!]

All games off again at the weekend with the exception of MJC and FAI.
MJC and FAI games can not be called off at this stage and will depend on the condition of the pitches at the weekend.

[plasticpitch]

can anyone tell me how lifford are doing this season.do they still have the ex pro in charge?

yeah seeit, mick kennedy (ex pompey)still in charge of lifford and the team are currently top of the premier in Clare.... he's doing an excellent job!!!

[see's it]

keep up the good work micko.are they still in the FAI and MJNR?

[Spudd]

Cheers...
Who's the other 3 clare teams in it then? Newtown...

[Spudd]

keep up the good work micko.are they still in the FAI and MJNR?
Not in the FAI..Knocked out by St.Brendans a cuple of weeks ago...dont know bout the MJC tho..

[CousinSylDolan]

Not in the FAI..Knocked out by St.Brendans a cuple of weeks ago...dont know bout the MJC tho..

Lifford play Avenue in the MJC this Sunday....

Hacker the draw for the FAI is on Sat evening as far as I'm aware.

Clare teams left are Newtown, Cratloe, Bridge Celtic and Avenue...

[Prem Rep!]

Not looking good for any games at the weekend. Rain does not seem to be easing up. Would be surprised if any pitch is playable at this stage.

[Spudd]

Ah im sure if the pitch is anything half decent the home team will want to play on it,not to loose home advantage!
Should of seen newtowns pitch last week...Memories of newmarkets last year!Not a blade of grass to be seen after the game...:) :)
