Have u seen the betting odds. Newtown 66/1 rank outsiders. Both Donegal opponents ranked well ahead in the betting stakes. If you believe the bookies then Newtown have no chance. But then again they have placed Star Rovers, Kilmallock, Inter Kenmare at much shorter odds. Looks like the old "they're from Clare so the must be rubbish" theory again. Let hope newtown can prove them wrong

Star and Kilmallock are great sides. Star have gotten back 2 players from L37 Under-21s and got a few back from injury. Killmallock are out of Limerick in both Munster Junior and FAI see then play twice this year and they have some very accomplished players.:ball:

[tulla b]

After looking through my crystal ball these are my predictions for the weekend.

Bunratty: Bunratty V Avenue United A (Rats win 2-1)

Rineanna: Rineanna Rovers V Burren United ( Burren 1nil)

Ballycasey: Newtown A V Newmarket Celtic A (Postponed water logged pitch:))

O`Briensbridge: Bridge Celtic A V Lifford A ( 2-2 draw)

[Wayne's World]

Bunratty: Bunratty V Avenue United A (Draw)

Rineanna: Rineanna Rovers V Burren United ( Home Win)

Ballycasey: Newtown A V Newmarket Celtic A (Away Win:)

O`Briensbridge: Bridge Celtic A V Lifford A ( Draw)

Newtown only seem to do well in cup competitions so they might get burned by newmarket at the weekend.

Rineanna should get a home win, They seem to be in good shape this year. I have seen them twice but haven't seen the Burren so can't comment on them.

Bunratty V Avenue and Bridge Celtic V Lifford are two massive games. 4 Teams who should be battling for the league come the end of the season. Lifford are playing well but will earn a result down there.

If Avenue win in Bunratty they could leapfrog Lifford back to the top and leave the "Mighty" Bunratty down near the bottom.

It should be an interseting weekend if the games go ahead.

Husquarna Maloney Garden Machinery Premier Division League
Lees Road Pitch 1: Avenue United A V Burren United
Rineanna: Rineanna Rovers V Kildysart Celtic
Cassidy Park: Lifford A V Newmarket Celtic A

[studsup]

Strange to see the Clare League put this game down for such an early kick-off...I wonder will the 16/1 Aileack do what St. James' Gate(I think) did to Newtown last year and not turn up at all,surely they'd have to stay Saturday night won't they?
I wonder how much Newtown forked out to the Clare League for the 11am kick-off :D:):D

stop bitchin ... i'm sure aileack would be ok with a 11am kickoff if they were at home.... just go down and cheer on the only clare league team left in the fai .. why dont you ring up michael lydon and ask him how much was in the brown envelope .

This game is on at 2pm. There is no way it could be on at 11am....

[Spudd]

Does it really matter what times its on at?..Surely a team traveling from Donegal will have to stay the night before regardless.

I think they are meeting in the Lodge to Join the Newtown lads at 3.00 o'clock on Saturday for some Cidar. Andy has invited them to his gaff for party saturday night with the rest of the lads...Might head out myself

not starange, i would just presume the away crowd want to get back home at a reasonable hour, considering some of them would have work on a monday morning.

best of luck to Newtown

[Clifford]

the donegal team must have requested it. otherwise rules state must be 2. there at least 8 hrs away so would make sense to travel night before game early so home earlier

[Offside]

I'm sure the early kick off might favour a few of the Newtown lads aswell. If I'm not mistaken theres a couple of premier league matches across the pond that wouldn't like to be missed. Also if it is an early kick off it might not be so good for newtowns usually great home support in this competition as it might be a bit early for some of the supporters who may have joined smellyfeet for the 'party' in Andy's Saturday night..:D

[shelbourne1904]

11 kick off was requested by Aileach and agree to by Newtown and the league.
Marquis in Andys Saturday with One September on from 1 am to 3am and Mickey Walls band doing support.Entrance fee €20 with free sausage roll.Fireworks supplied by Skinny.
Mickey White on security will kick anyone out who crosses the line.

Newtown are sure they will get through this match as if they go behind the Council Water Works section had guaranteed to flood the pitch as they managed to do last week.The whole event is sponsored by Ballygowan.

what's the feeling in newtown camp ... heard last night that b team have a match at 2pm IN ENNIS asked for game off to support the A team & that 1-2 may even be part of squad .. but clare league refused point blank... have rules changed when i kicked a bit of ball years back it was automatic no matches for b team if a team in fai... bit of a shame really as a lot of these b team players would be the most vocal supporters for a team ( the welcome to hell gang) :(

Ya thats the story. Spoke to the Bteam manager and they are ****ed off as they always go to FAI games

[papa-j]

Ya thats the story. Spoke to the Bteam manager and they are ****ed off as they always go to FAI games

The FAI is a CLUB competition with all players elligble to represent the club on the day - A, B, C YOUTHS or whatever. This is and always has been the rule.

So if the CLUB is playing in the FAI then all matches involving CLUB teams on that particular day can be cancelled by that CLUB

Can someone from the league explain??

clare league explain... no chance .. i cannot understand when u have 1 club left in this competition representing clare you would think clare league would bend over backwards to help out as much as possible .. but then again we all know clare league could not really give a s**t in the end ... :mad:

[shelbourne1904]

What is the problem.The FAI match kicks off at 11 and should be finished at 12.45 or with extra time and penalties 1.30.The B team match is on at 2.30 in Ennis.???None of the players are in the panel.

Having said all that there is a rule and it should be complied with.

Are their some foreign matches on in the afternoon that might be of interested and I dont mean an All Ireland!!!!

Think the problem is the above, alot of the lads on B-team enjoy the craic on the sidline for these games and enjoy their few cans (after the match).

would agree with that have seen them the last few games .. anyway as a club b team should be free to enjoy the game have a few beers with the a team and hopefully celebrate a win .. :ball:

[guvnor]

Congratulations to Newtown on a good win. Didnt see the game myself but any win at this stage is a great result.
Best of luck in the next round.

Also a great result for Newmarket away to Lifford in the league.

Congrats to Newtown, super result and great for Clare Football.

Congrats to Newtown, super result and great for Clare Football.

Thanks lads, good performance,played some lovely football, went a goal down after 20 mins,(Aileach 1st attack),continued to dominate without threatning the goals, about 35 gone when Cheeky scored a cracker,great control and superb finish, Newtown dominated the 2nd half and added 2 more from Jamie Culllen and (can't remember who gor 3rd). anyway draw on Sunday between 10 and 11 on 2fm,don't care who we get as long as it is a home draw. :):)

[jackaroo]

Is it true Noel Donnellan missed the Newtown match and went playing Gaelic football instead ,could not believe it when i heard it

[CousinSylDolan]

Yeah I was very surprised with this also... He scored a goal in the football match though for his beloved O'Callaghan's Mills.

Well done to Newtown all the same. It was a well deserved victory I hear. I imagine the fact most of the Aileach team were in Paradise Alley Sat night helped.

Best of luck in the draw... Bring on Pike in Ballycasey. Get those Clare lads Pike have back to the county.
