Best of luck to all for the weekend trip to Donegal. From what i hear I think Brendan Rochford sustained a bad injury lately and wont be fit to play. I think its a good squad with a good mix of youth and experience though. Good luck;

As far as I know Jim Madden picked the squad as no manager was in place early in the season. The managment have since added a few players.

Best of luck to them. Long trip to Donegal in fairness. Anyone know if its an overnight stay or up and down on Saturday.

bugger of a journey up & down in 1 day plus match :ball:.. hope they have a few refreshments on bus for players for journey home :D

Q - how can the "management team" leave out the likes of Pa Fahy / Eoin Hayes / Seamus Lawlor / Stephen Kelly / Ger O Connell / Roberto { lifford } Garoid O Connell - along with the others - what happened to the trials , fair chance to everyone - some clubs seem to get the extra players depending on who the manager is - i.e Bunratty 6 players ??

In saying the above I'm sure that the squad of players will give a good account of themselves - Best of luck lads

We just have to remember that they cant have everyone on the panel. We all have our opinions on who should and should not be on it. A lot of the lads you have mentioned have not played much soccer cos of hurling ect so far this season.

Nice to see a few new faces involved this year and a few of the younger players coming through as well. For years it was the same 15-16 lads no matter who was performing well.

In relation to Greg (31) and Maxi (29), they are still performing very well for us and I am sure they would hold there own at county level but I'm guessing if they haven't been called up before they are not going to get the call this year. Greg especially who has probably been one of the most consistent performers for Bridge and Newtown over the last 10-12 years but was never called up to OT.

Good luck to the lads on Saturday, strong squad who I'm sure will get us a result.
Are Brendan Rochford and David Russell not injured??

Ya best of luck, Donegal League will be no push overs. They will have alot of players from Redcastle on their squad and from experience Redcastle are a good footballing side with some very good players, they are very fit and will compete for every ball. Is a long haul (6 -7) hours so that will deff go against Clare. Pitch (if played in Redcastles place is great) so good for passing game.

Surely the OT team isn't picked over the course of 2 months football - I'm sure the managment team who would be involved in their own teams don't get the full picture of what is available to them - there are players on the OT that can't even make their own club teams - is is a case of "just full-filling the fixture" or have they any inhabitions of seriously competing for a place outside the group stages ? -

booked as requsted by clare league officals

Attachment 1228

Donegal 1-1 Clare

Went 1-0 down on 60 minutes. Should have been a free out. Jimmy Houlihan equalised on 80 minutes with a great finish. Played really well and deserved to get a result.

Great result for Clare.What was the team yesterday?
