Lads, take the oppurtuinity to go and support one of the Clare teams this week.
agree there First - by the way congrats on being the new addition to NOF - a wealth of experience and shouldnt be wasted - good call by management IMO
4th Round Draw
1 Newcastlewest v Bunratty F.C.
2 Kileaney v Broadford Utd.
3 Castleisland v Rock Rovers
4 Killarney Athletic or Listowel Clt. v Avenue Utd. or Rathkeale F.C.
well done to rock ystrdy,, excellent result.. s. hickey is on fire, hopefully carries that on next sunday!!
Saw the 2nd half of the Rock game and Hickey was unreal. His 2nd goal was superb. Hopefully we see more of the same Sunday.
Super result for Rock and good to see Clare temas progress. Hopefully Avenue will follow Rock through to the next round! Hickey will get the plaudits and deservedly so because he was a step above everyone else but a great dogged team performance and 3 superb goals.
How strong will Limerick be this weekend? Will the players from Pike/Fairview be playing as I heard they are not in favour of playing the Oscar Traynor?

noteable absentees - Stephen Kelly , Johnny Okoru , Daryl Eade , Pa Fahy , Seamus Lawlor , Mike O Malley , Davy Wall , Shane O Connor , Daithi O Connell , Davy Hogan , Mike Devitt , Colm Mullen ,Brian kelly , Derek Byrne
Have the above been notified - were they given a chance ? - - given the above talent compared to some of the lads who have made the panel , are there mistakes been made , is favouritism a factor ?
Just giving our opinion BTW
Any other opinions ?
A few on the list retired, another heading abroad shortly, a few were asked and didn't bother
Iv 'heard' that Mike O'Malley has called it a day, as regards the county team. Davy Wall has more than likely had enough of the Oscar Traynor in the past. Daryl Eade and Seamus Lawlor were'nt asked.
Whats the story with Liam Murphy (crusher).....? He was one of clares better players last year.
Best of luck to all involved anyhow......lets hope there's a good turn out on the day
Bridge United 2010 Poker Classic
...will take place on Friday November 26th in The Olde House. Tickets €20 are available from all committee members (086)3412104. Thanks in advance for your support.
Fair enough i suppose - when lads are at it for the last few years any weekend off is welcome
Best of luck to the lads Sat - as Donie mentioned in the paper hopefully well go 1 step further and win it
havent seen kyle mccarthy,david cahil,alan horan play so havent included them but from above squad i would go with a 3-5-2

Agree some lads not in squad who would make massive additions to it, Stephen kelly, Daithi O Connell (Devil fish was he approached), Colm Treacy, young centre back from rock think he is russell, and nobody from hermitage?? Mannion and Dullagahan are as good if not better than any player in the squad. Not having a go just given an opionion. Best of luck to all involved should not fear limerick as we are every bit as good as them at this level.
think its bit of insult the league didnt ask the Tage for even 1 player.
No, only BFC lads approached were Derek Byrne (gone to Aussie) and Ryan Kelly.
my opinion
best of luck lads
4-4-1-1

5.collins
6.o rouke
7. maxwell
8.mcCarthy
9.hickey
10.G.collins
11. Gylnn
That would be my starting 11 with clare to edge it 2-1.
Don't think Hickey is as good as people make out on this site watched him good bit with Limerick last year, mile of the pace. If Limerick have full team on Sunday ie pike and the view players he wont get a sniff, 3-1 to Limerick.
Hi lads, has anyone any info on Avenue for me please meeting them Sunday week in the FAI.
Ya ye hammered us 5-0 in pre-season. Nice.
Tulla 3 - 1 Tage
Anyone any thoughts on who might get religated from the prem?
Hard to say this early maybe tage, bunratty or bridge utd. Rock look good for league. What you think ?
Good passing side and really punish teams when on a good day. Two lively wingers, the lad up front [McDonagh], fast good finisher too but can go missing in games. CB Russell strong in the air but slow and gives too many frees away try drag him out the field. They normally play 3-5-2. Get in their faces and they WILL lose their composure and more often than not discipline goes out the window too.
€10 into Digifone for the Oscar Traynor match today, absolute disgrace. It was €10 into the Aviva for the FAI Cup Final ffs. Joke.
It was only €5 into the Aviva.
Limerick were a classy team..........they were well used to playing at that high tempo! I dont think any other 11 from clare would have done any better.
Premier League wide open at the moment. Few big teams near the bottom and a few small teams near the top makes for an entertaining few months.
Hey 'Onetrickpony'......surely we should be supporting all the local teams in the FAI, i'm not a great fan of that last trick of yours!!!
That wasn't very nice one trick,but at least we don't have to rely on one player to win games for us. If your star man got injured I think ye would free fall.but that's just my opinion.and Russ is a smart footballer to know not to get dragged round the pitch.
Easy now Wolverine...........don't be mixing up the 'onetrickpony' and 'the circuspony'!!! The later been the Rock player and the tricker pretending to be.
Maybe bunratty and bridge utd, 3rd last team will prob survive the playoff. Ya i do think Rock are a strong team and could win it, think Tulla might surprise a few. Not saying they will win it but heard thay had 19 players at there last game so could finish in good position. They 4 lads on the clare youths aswell.
€5 for kids, €10 for adults into Aviva
Limerick could've been 2 up before they got the 1st. Hickey equalised, took the goal very well but it was totally against the run of play. Limerick created a good few chances in the 2nd half. Their 3rd goal was the pick of the goals imo, great cross and nice volley from Barry. Only for Healy in nets it could've been 6 easily. Clare created no real chances at all in the game, the 3-2 scoreline doesn't paint a true reflection of the game imo
Hard luck to clare. Limerick were better organized and their quality on set pieces gave them the edge on the day. €10 entrance was a bit steep alright as well.
Looking at Sundays fixtures. 4 draws in the premier
Is quite the possibility. You'd get a nice price on that.
Good to see one trick pony back under a different name after being suspended. Welcome back.you should let the rathkeale guy know that avenue play 4-4-2
Well spotted avenueC........we didn't need Jessica Fletcher to figure out who the onetrickpony was!!!
Best of luck on Sunday
