The Clare League are very disappointed that Newtown have informed us this morning that they have withdrawn all teams from our League. We have done everything possible to keep them in our League over the last number of months. The club have told us that they can no longer get people to help out with managing teams in their club and have no option but to fold. From what we have been told most of their players are staying in the Clare League and this should ensure that some of the existing teams in our League are stronger for next season. Shannon Olympic are entering a youths team next season which should also help keep the younger players playing in the Clare League. If any player that played with Newtown last season needs help finding a new club for next season then contact the League Secretary Oliver Fitzpatrick on 086-8455373 or oliver@claresoccer.net. :ball:
What do ye make of the cup draw lads.... Some tough games and possible A vs B team in the Bridge...
A lot of the premier teams seem to have drawn each other.
Avenue A VS Bunratty A seems to be the pick of the draw.Quote:

What is the story with Ballycasey if Newtown have folded, it would be an awful shame if iut was idle as they had a great set up there.....

With the School Boys playing on Saturdays and Junior Teams under 18s and up playing on Sundays its up to grounds man Willie to decide who plays on what pitch, but the weather also has a big say in it.
What is Park's own pitch like.....
Well they have 6 at the moment, if its the Main pitch you on about at Riverside then its Probably 1 of the best pitch's in Shannon apart from the Wolf Tones Camogie pitch (unreal). Thing is its kinda the same as Ballycaseys first pitch in that it doesn't take much rain for it to cut up.Quote:

i know it is of the thread but is the camogie pitch that good ... is it in between olympics pitch and biggest waste of money ever the all weather pitch... if so they must have done some job as this pitch was terrible and flooded very easily :ball:Quote:

Nice club house aswell.
Yeah, we used to enjoy our almost annual battle against nenagh in the mjc. some good games over the years, all very close despite some dodgy hometown refs in nenagh;)Quote:

Hi All,
Olympic had a shed burnt down last weekend and it contained some pitch equipment, which was destroyed.
Would anyone have a pitch liner that they do not use anymore?
I am looking for the old style bucket liner that uses Lime and water?
If you have any ideas where to get one can you p.m me please. cheers.
Oh and can someone donate some grass for our pitch also!
Sorry to hear that but are you allowed to use lime these days to line pitch?Quote:

Just saw the cup draw there....wow looks like there will be a potential chance that those "light-hearted" friendlies could become the real thing...so there will be finally as set in stone result of the question which is the better Bridge team... I see from the clare website that both team won their respective divisons so it really will be a interesting match. Although thats provided the Bridge B's beat NOF Celtic B's( are they any good?)Quote:

The only thing Lifford will be shakin is their arses out the window of the bus home :rolleyes:Quote:

Fair enough if it is a red card you get a fine, but for three yellows????? Come on especially if you don't get on with a ref you can get three yellow cards quite easily over a couple of games.
Have any other clubs got these fines lately?? I personally think that is out of line, any thoughts?
does anyone here know or would they be able to find out if tulla united u16s are playing corbally united in the sfai cup this weekend the 7th/8th of february?
any help would be very much appreciated.
i assume all clubs were advised of rule & fines before sason started :confused: if so not a lot you can do .. but 40 euro for 3 yellow cards seems very harsh.. at this rate you will either have the ritchest league in ireland or no players left as they cannot afford to pay fines ..:D getting very expensive now to play an amature game .. start of season 40 euro to register to league and heard a few clubs also charging memberships .. pay for training twice a week / match on sunday .. for a so called amature game it is getting very expensive ... would be very intresting to know what is being done with all this money league are making everyyear with registration fees / fines.. we have a so called county grounds out in doora which is used only every so often how many finals were not played on our pride n joy in doora last yearQuote:
