Newtown A vs Bridge Utd A
Rineanna vs Turnpike
Kilrush or Bridge Utd B vs Burren or Lifford B
Shannon Oly vs Bridge Celtic B
Moher vs Ennistymon
Newmarket A vs Corofin
Bunratty vs Mountshn or Tulla
Lifford A or Inch Crusaders vs Avenue A
A couple of nice games there.
Rineanna to beat Turnpike.
Kilrush playing well at the moment with their foreign Legion and capable of beating any of the other 3 teams.
Olympic to beat Bridge B
Moher to come through the local derby
Corofin's reign to come to an end in Newmarket
Tough one, will go for Mountshannon
Avenue to come through this one
That just leaves Newtown and Bridge, the winners of which will have a say in where the cup ends up provided they don't meet Moher along the way.

Score line says it all Newtown miles better and deserved the win. Could of scored more to be honest. Newtown controlled the game from start to finish Goals from cheeky(3) and Derek Byrne (1) easy win

Cheeky must be walking 10 foot tall around Shannon at the moment after his hat trick.

Newtown the far better side on the day it seems as if Olympic have already givin up hope on staying in the premier, i like to see teams from shannon doing well but there didn't seem to be any heart in the Olympic camp at all, Terry Dougan tried hard but can't say much for the rest of the Olympic team, I hope they can perform a miracle and stay up but it doesn't look likely now. Newtown were class through out and look like they can take anyone on there home patch, if they take that form on the road with them they'll definitely be contenders.

His first two goals were class. Especially the second. Turned the centre half
30 yards out ran towards goal and curled a beauty around the keeper into the bottom corner from 20 yards.
I wouldn't write Olympic off yet, I think we caught them on a bad day. Their results previous to this were quite good and if they can put this behind them
they can battle their way back. I think they have a lot to prove, particularly as they won the first div last year ahead of Moher and look where Moher are now. Do they have Moher to play again this season?

I have to admit that the Newtown defence was outstanding yesterday,particularly with the gale blowing down their throats.Burns,Donnellan,Stretton and Coyne have the experience and guile that have always evaded Newtown teams through the years.If they can avoid injury and suspensions they will be a threat.And if they can keep Skinny sane of course!!!!!!!.Mind you I dont think he had a save to make yesterday.

Wouldnt say that. i no its hard to see as Newmarket have never gone down. but if they keep goin the way there goin between them and mountshannon they will have saved olymipic by them sevles. Olympic didnt look promising any bit but with other teams still losing games i wouldnt write Olympic from staying up as long as they pick up a few wins against the lower half teams.

I saw Olympic in the matches against Newmarket and Lifford and they looked far from bad despite having 3 players who were not up to Premier but they didnt look like the same team yesterday.They went down like lambs.

I'd say it had more to do with the fact Newtown played so well. Especially in the first half against the wind. 3 of the 4 goals were really well worked and not too many defences could have stopped them. If Olympic up their work rate and tighten up defensively they'll be ok.

10 SHANNON OLYMPIC A 12 1 4 7 10 23 -13 7
Prem Table at the moment.
Its going to be another close one at the top i'd say come end of season.
Looks like it is between Moher,Newtown,Bridge Celtic and Avenue.
At the other end it could be any of the bottom 4.But things could change.

I would need a crystal ball for both of these.Someone said earlier that both MShannon and Newmarket could blow themselves away and save Olympic.That would leave them in a playoff.The last time,I think 2 years ago,I saw them in one they played like they did yesterday.It depends on who they
come up against.
I wouldnt even attempt to forecast the other except to say if its anything like last year its a lottery!!!!

Great chance for Newtown to challenge for the league the only thing is that games in hand are not points on the table just hope they dont get ahead of themselves long way to go for them yet but you never know what will happen.

how did moher manage to call off their game against rineanna on saturday. when there b team played a home game at 2pm..
seems a strange one .. did nobody from clare league advise you why game was called off.. i thought home team had to tell league first that game was off :ball: :ball:

dont know the exact details behind cancellation, but we received the text during the Pool-ManU game Sat. I had heard that the Liscannor pitch is in poor condition, and not the best to hold excessive rain. They did look to play it in Lahinch (Ennistymon were playing there at 11 in cup) - Ennistymon Town 2 Kilmaley United 0 . Maybe the Moher B team played there at 2.30???

20 points used to be the magic number when we came up the last time, a few years ago (wow FOUR years now!!) but that was pre-relegation play-off times.

06/03/2007, 8:54 PM
i think 17 points will be play off place...
a play off place would be a lifeline. having more shannon area teams in the premier the better. playing the likes of moher etc means nothing. the games mean a lot more when you know all the opposition. having bunratty up there would top it off.:)

Playing the likes of Moher might mean nothing to you, but I am sure they are looking at the fixture with the possibility of 3 more points towards a first Premier Title.
Bunratty are doing well in the 1st Division, but if the Premier turns out to be a lottery like last year then the 1st Division is even harder to predict as several clubs are up there with a chance of promotion.

so you want a preimer league of local teams only
newmarket / rineanna / newtown / olympic / bunratty / sixmilebridge :confused: ... playing likes of moher means nothing.. maybee this is the attitude that has olympic in trouble this year.. you should be looking forward to playing every team no matter who they are ::mad:

yeah, you could be right. tried to see if i could find last years final standing yesterday, but to no avail... Anyone out there remember?
The season when we were aiming at 20 for safety had one very weak team that propped up the division, thus raising the safety barrier to higher than normal. Very tight at both ends of table, so 17 might be more realistic this year for play-off place...

Totally agree, if a team gets promoted from the 1st division (a tough division to get out of too), they deserve their place in the Premier (even if its only for the one season)...... Logisitically, it would be nice to play teams all in Shannon/Newmarket/Ennis area, but the two top teams at the moment are Moher and Bridge Celtic, and fair dues to them. Its up to the rest of the Premier to put it upto them!!!!

lets be honest who gives a sH*T about rivalry / athmosphere if you are winning games local derbys only worth bragging rights if you win them ... league title is the big one at end of season .. do you think moher will complain about lack of local derbys if they win the league ..:ball:
