Not many Clare teams entered this years competition.
Bit surprised by that. No Lifford, No Rineanna.

suprised that Bridge celtic enteredthis year. was talking to there manager after we played them in ennis last year. he said that the extended fai run last year had caused a fixture pile up. i thought they might not enter.
as for lifford no suprise as the u-21s and no real chance of winning it.
rineanna completley focused on winning premier.

Looks like they mispelled our club name again,

Rinagh Rovers v Foynes FC or Tralee Dynamoes

As far as i know, there is no such club as Rinagh Rovers in Kerry or Desmond leagues

Alright must be mix up.
I played against Foynes few years back, they weren't great to be honest.
If they are still much the same i'd say ye could win this handy but then again its all on the day. Best of luck anyway.

Bunratty V Newtown will be a good one.

It certainly will be. I'm sure it wont be difficult to motivate the Rats 4 a local derby like that!!

Was speaking to one of their new resignings from village FC last wknd!! he will b gud addition to their team.

Without knowing what the rest of 1st div is like, i wud expect them to return straight back to Premier. Any thoughts out there? CousSyl?

Everyone knows the 1st division is very tough to come out of. Rats have made some good signings alright but still a long tough season ahead to get back to the Premier.

As for the Fai...very tough draw for Bunratty. Playing one of the best team's in Clare at the moment but at least its at home... Bring on the "Dream Team"

We have not been a good side for 2 years but hopefully we can prove we are good enough for the Premier and win promotion.

As for the Fai game... I believe Richard Keys and Andy Gray have refused to travel to Bunratty as commentary positions at the ground are "unsatisfactory and extremely dangerous":D :D :D

any news on the devolpment of your ground

[Pretender]

Lifford decided not to enter the competition this year as they already have some players involved with 17s, youths, 21s and Juniors. Players would simply have burnt out. I think this is only a once off... not sure though. They are entering the Munster Junior Cup.

Tralee Dynamos will surely face Rineanna... tough draw... one of the top teams in Kerry. They knocked a couple of Clare teams from the cup competitions last year.

[CousinSylDolan]

any news on the devolpment of your ground


Work had started down there and we have moved ESB cables from above the training ground. Rockbreaking and surface preparation has also started.Its slow to keep things moving but by the beginging of next season we hope to have the astro turf in place...

Old Git,
To be Honest i haven't heard this rumour. I can tell you that over the years Newtown have nearly always used both A & B players in the FAI Cup and have done quite well. Also the League is always going to come first.I'd say that most clubs use A & B Players in FAI no!!!

i know most teams would use both a & b players
but this sounds like only using A team squad players & mainly B team players.. again it could be only be more rumours & i must add there is plenty of them out there about newtown at the moment

should be a good match though bunratty v newtown will have to wait and see what team is picked :cool: :cool:

[Murphman]

Big result for us tonight.. Close contest, Utd had a couple of good chances first half but we dominated second half and in my opinion deserved the victory.. A UTD player scored contender for goal of the season tonight... OWN GOAL of the season that is!! Lobbed his keeper from corner of 18 yard box, brilliant finish but what the hell was he trying to do???

[madcap]

25yard box???? do ye have them hehe:confused:

I agree, ye deserved wat ye got, but to be fair to the lad it was a terrible bobble just as he played it back,great goal tho lol, Utd have alot to do to put things right, never got involved in the in the physical battle, should of been given a peno tho when it was 2-0 i think in the first half,didnt get it just cos the guy didnt go down no advantage played, could have changed the game,

[plasticpitch]

any body got a league table then??

[CousinSylDolan]

The bloke who updates A2Z is away on holidays at the moment. He will be back in about 2 weeks. He said he will try and catch up on lg tables then for all divisions including youths.

Anyone got youths results from last night?????

Bunratty 2-2 Newtown is one but there were 3 other games.

Old Git,
Are you involved with any club? If so who? If not sure you are more than welcome to come down to Ballycasey sure we'll find something for you to do.
Maybe you could get involved in sorting out the rumour situation as there are plenty to sort out.:D

Ended 2-2, points dropped for the bridge, 2-1 up 15 mins to go, should of killed the game but let mountshannon back in it again.

Murphman
thanks for the Premier table.
See above quote from Newlad should complete your table.
Anyone interested in doing the same for the First division clubs.
No tables on the a2z site this year.

1-1 with avenue .. caught most of game on my way home from work.. was a poor game draw a fair result .... avenue scored first with a penalty just after half time ( must add a very harsh decision by referee) and both teams then had 2 players sent off later in game again another strange decision by referee bit of pushing & shoving in middle of field by 7-8 players .. :eek:

It was a peno, Noel Donnellan clipped Avenue player in the box. 1 player from both teams got the line. Davy Wall tackled Avenue Mike OMahony late in the center circle, nothing too bad,but it was what happened after which resulted in the sendings off. Another Avenue player got involved and both teams had a scuffle. If anything Davy Wall should have been booked and that would have been that but Philip Markam "ref" had other idea's. Mike OMahony Avenue and Davy Wall Newtown sent off. Newtown scored tru Dave Devaney.
Think the foreign fella for Avenue got the Peno.

[manalishi]

Dreamteam is turning into a nightmare.Very poor uninventive performance against Avenue average but spirited team.Defensive clearances tend to go no more than 20 yards and to the opposition.Midfield no ideas,frontline too soft and whole team one paced.Numerous chances lost from poor fullback crosses.Many corners wasted.
Referee made 4 bad decisions.Only 4 decisions to be made so 100% error.Neither player should have been sent off ,Newtown goal in first half not offside and penalty was as soft as Ive seen,well won by the Avenues players scream.Avenue goalkeeper should have been sent off for kicking player after conceding goal.

Saw the game last night and thought newtown were by far the better side and got the ball in the box over and over again, some poor crosses but some quality as well, just nobody to get on the end of them, thought newtowns only outlet was their 2 fullbacks. It was a penalty, unfortunate but clear cut. Sendings off were ridiculous but game was getting very niggly. Neither side will do much damage in the league. any report from newmarket game

I wouldn't start predicting things just yet... its only september. Every team in the league is capable of taking points from each other as has been proven in the opening weeks. Neither Newtown or Avenue have started how they would like but could still easily win the league. Newtown were probably the better team in the lifford game and were unlucky not to get something from the game and Avenue always raise their game for certain opposition. I expect them to have a squad of a least 30 for every Lifford game this season!! :D :D

ya the problem is they can only play 11 of them

Lifford 1 - 3 bridge Utd

[Pretender]

Lifford 1 - Bridge Utd 3

Brian Hehir scored for Lifford.

Bridge went 1 up, had best chances of 1st half. Lifford scored early in the second half. Brian Hehir volleyed home after a good flick on from Mannering. Then the referee... (Markham - I'm almost sure that's his name... the lad with the moustache) sends off niall white for calling the Utd manager a w****r as he has had the linesmans flag pointed in Utd's favour all game long. If he was a proper official it'd be a straight red but calling the manager that is the same as saying it to another player... at most a yellow. The Ref lost the plot because both sides were calling for decisions and Lifford got the Red because the were moaning more. Utd's 2nd goal... definite free in middle of pitch for obstruction of Lifford player after he knocked the ball around utd player... not given and in fairness utd player scored a stunning 30 yard (at least!!) effort... top corner and all.

The final goal was the best though. Ball is about 2 yards out of play on Utd benches' side of the pitch. Their manager keeps flag down. Everybody bar utd striker stops playing. They score. ref allows it. Bridge manager laughs his hole off!!!

I was waiting for the ref to actually score one himself!!

Referee's have a tough time. I don't like giving out about them as it only means there will be less people to do the job. But last night was just a joke.
