Lads - NOF have been unbeaten in the league this season - they have the chance to secure a 2nd league title and have an complete season of being unbeaten { unlike the doomed RATS a who as we all know managed to not win a single game in one season }
Is this possible ?

Why do you ask ?
because you have rineanna cup winners 2008/09 down.and also nof league winners 2010/11
you Just putting random winners of cup and leagues down.? Or are you considering yourself part of the hybrid nof/rineann success of last years league n presumably this year
As with Planners i consider the REDs a consortium of both clubs and are in a favourable position as a result
Exactly, the League Cup, while valuable in getting teams to pick up some form before the League starts, is superfluous in the grand scheme of things. August would be a perfect month to get two or three games out of the way for each club that are likely to be cancelled in the Winter. Then there are two or three other competitions like the Munster and F.A.I Junior Cups to keep us occupied! A pile-up of fixtures always happens towards the end which led to the two games within 48 hours for Tulla. However, I don't in any way want to undermine the job the Clare Board have done, they're a good group of men, but common sense should prevail..
Lads was anyone here at the shannon Olympic v avenue game last night.. If so can you tell me what was David Russell at..to me it looked like he wanted to be dismissed..he seemed to be intent on hurting one of our players as he elbowed him in the face twice also threw him to the ground early in the game.. Then threw him to the ground again when waiting to take a penalty..I wonder did he realize he would miss the Newmarket game.. His clubs biggest game this year.. Maybe he doesn't want to play against them.. Stupidity..
After the roasting he got last year from young Hayes maybe he didnt want to go through the same thing again this year :cool:Quote:

It'll be a great spectacle.
Dead right avenue c it was a tough game and if shannon Olympic could have played more like that in other games then we might have survived... You'll be a big loss to avenue on Sunday.. Best of luck with it.. I hope ye win and set it up for a final day of drama.. Tulla away wouldn't be easy for Newmarket
Take the bitch fest somewhere else,the next off topic post in here will be met with a suspension.
Whose the Clare manager coming to limerick,is it Albert Finnin and who is he taking over??
Colm Ryan, last years Oscar Traynor team manager. Taking over at Shannon Town.Quote:

Needless to say Mikey ignored the instructions.

That Same man said the same thing to the same player against Olympic last week about pa Fahy and 5 mins later Fahy had to be carried off.. That man is a disgrace to Clare football..Quote:

If those instructions were given by that particular person then I'm not too surprised but hope that the powers that be in Avenue remove him from management.
Well done to Newmarket. Its a great achievement to have gone unbeaten this far and I hope ye finish it off in style against Tulla. By the way that was some goal from Stephen Kelly yesterday.
Avenue United A 1 Newmarket Celtic A 5
Newmarket were crowned Premier League champions for the second year in succession when they defeated Avenue United at Lees Road on Sunday.
Attention now turns to their challenge to complete the league and cup double and all eyes will be on their cup semi-final against Bridge United A on Sunday week.
In the meantime, they will complete their league programme this week when they play Tulla United A after which the league trophy will be presented to captain Mark Donlon.
The title holders took the lead through Ronan McCormack midway through the first half and this goal separated the teams at half time.
Moments after the resumption of play Avenue were back on terms when Alan Roche found the target.
The title holders were back in front ten minutes later when a Darren Cullinan cross was deflected to his own net by Colin Smith. A superb volley from outside the box from Stephen Kelly saw them double their lead and they went on to add goals from Eoin Hayes and Eoin O’Brien to seal a merited victory.
Avenue United A: John Healy; Mattie Nugent, Alex Zmusko David Herlihy, Simon Cuddy; Alan Roche, Colin Smith, David Smith, Dave McCarthy, Con Collins, Mikey Mahoney.Subs: Barry Nugent for Mahoney; Pa Sherlock for Herlihy.
Nerwmarket Celtic A: Jason Casey; David O’Grady, Enda Kelly, Mark Donlon, Darren Cullinan; Mike Devitt, Stephen Kelly, Eoin Hayes, Eoin O’Brien; Ronan McCormack, Daithi O’Connell.
Subs: Seamus Lawlor for O’Connell; Paudi Hayes for McCormack; Alan Kelly for Devitt.

Sure they are a gaa paper. like most local papers.
Wounder why Lazylegs posted that report ?
I don't know why anyone is surprised with the Clare Champions report. We are a minority sport in their eyes.
First off big congrats to Newmarket going the league unbeaten is a remarkable feat ... Secondly shame on avenue for not trying to finish season strong I heard they had a massively weakened team out today
First of all, congrats to Newmarket, always good to retain any cup, especially the league and they did it in style, going unbeaten for the whole season! Very good achievement and I hope no one in Clare begrudges them, they deserved to do it!
Secondly, fair play to Tulla, third place is a fantastic position for them and you can see the progress they've made and has, like Newmarket, put it up to the townie teams and who knows, could go better next year, if they've everyone back, few emigrated from what I hear.
Lastly, well done Mountshannon, they had to win to have any chance and win they did, albeit against a weakened Avenue side but you can
only beat what's in front of you! Here's to a good 2011/2012 and hopefully an even better 2012/2013!
very disrepectful to to league and other team involved in relegation battle but thats avenue for you think they are a big club but this shows they simply have no class :ball:Quote:

We also hit the bar twice and had 2 cleared off the line. Just wasn't to be, good luck to mountshannon in playoff. Hard luck Olympic, if ye tried as hard against other teams like ye did against avenue recently ye wouldn't have been relegated.
again another classy reply from avenue bad enough olympic get relegated but you have to have a little dig at them are teams not allowed to try and win games against avenue .,, ye were beaten today 3-1 by a team that had only won one game all season ye are a club so in love with yourselves but at the end of the day no pride / heart and most important CLASS .Quote:

Your knocking mountshannon for only having won one game before todayeary, yet Olympic have only won 2 games and lost 3 more than them. Good luck next
