No Derek Fahy for them tonight either due to hurling on Friday coming so him back on saturday will be a boost for them
I have no problem with the league playing the game in another venue but why not in Cassidy Park or McDonagh park which are really good venues and within a short distance for both teams, anyway its just an opinion and I m sure the pitch in kilmihil will be in good nick and st pats will benefit from it.
Lads any truth to the rumours around Shannon that Shannon Hibs are looking to join the Clare League????
Ha ha your a gas man absolutely no truth in it... Sure they told clare league where to go a few years backQuote:

he was talking about a rumour that a team from shannon might be joining the clare league that's not exactly a limerick thread, and who appointed you spokesperson for what people care about?
We've been through this about them coming back to the Clare League on here too many times before, it's not going to happen. They were too good for the 1st Division back in 2008 when Newtown got relegated so do you think they'd come back now and not have a chance of playing in the Premier for at least 3 seasons. NO
Well said kicks .. We can talk about whatever teams we want here especially if it's a team based in clare.. So if ya don't like it .. Don't read it and definately don't reply to it
its getting boring now its 3-4 years now since a certain club left clare league to join with another club in shannon to play in the limerick league and its amazing people still find time to believe rumours / hearsay. lots more important things happening in clare league cup final / relegation/promotion play-offs.Quote:

Rumours aside I think it would be great to have Shannon Town and Shannon Hibs in the Clare League. Newtown folding has left a big hole in Clare football imo, they were a good club with very good football people involved with them. There is a preception that the Limerick league is of a better standard but I don't believe this to be the case, Avenue and Rock have proved that the Premier teams in Clare can compete at the highest level in Junior football, testament to the fact that the standards in the Clare League are improving, this added to the facilities then the Clare League will in the long term only get better.
In my opinion Clare teams should compete in Clare and snap out of the notion that the Limerick League is some kind of holy grail, take a few of the big "money" clubs out of the scenario in Limerick and the Limerick League is no better than what Clare has to offer in terms of facilities and competition.
I for one would love to see the Shannon teams competing in Clare.
I agree first... I have seen a fair few games this year in both clare and limk.. And take out 2 or 3 teams at top of limk premier ( money clubs ) and clare teams are on a level wit the rest
first for clare league chairman!!!!!
have seen plenty of games in clare this year bunratty / newmarket / avenue / olympic A / Olympic B / bunratty B / Rinneanna / bridge utd so because people are not playing/involved with soccer in clare they cannot have anything to do with clare league dont be talking s***. I Like you can go to watch matches in clare / limerick if i want and can comment on them also. apologies for not having anything to do with clare league for over 15 years now.. i must reaply for a new passport..:DQuote:

As I said I was only asking the question to see if there was any truth in the rumour....
I know a motion had be presented to the Shannon Town board not to long ago regarding the possibility of the two clubs amalgamating but it was rejected by the board.
Maybe Hibs were still looking for a change but after the response here I'm guessing not :D Thanks for the replies :)
Bridge utd and bunratty relegated ... 2 recent winners of premier league o how the mighty have fallen.. Surely both will lose players now ...
Bit early but anyone have any transfer rumours or managerial changes
Bridge won't lose anyone as all the players are from the place. The outsiders jumped ship in January. We'll rebuild and will be back. By the way the mighty haven't fallen too far as 6 of the premier lg winning panel of 2006 will be playing 2nd successive cup final on Saturday.Quote:

I wasn't having a dig prem rep but in fairness them 6 will also be playing 2nd div next year.. But best of luck in cup final I for one would love to see ye do it..
The 6 will prob retire this Saturday i'd say :)
Who are the 6 Prem Rep?
Thought Bridge Utd were fairly poor on Saturday evening. I along most others were hoping Bridge Utd would stay up and Bridge Celtic would go down. Hopefully Mountshannon will beat them next week
Not sure if they will all retire but probably the two Downes brothers, Geoff Flynn, Alan McAuley, Podge Flannery, Albert Finnan. Trevor Kearney and Robert Conlon also have Prem league Medals.
Edit : answered
Mark Lonergan also won a medal in 2006.Quote:

No, Bridge Utd had better goal difference than Bridge Celtic but GD doesn't count in CDSL. Bridge Celtic beat them 3-1 Saturday evening in the playoff. Heard that game was originally scheduled for Sunday morning but Bridge Celtic as ked Bridge Utd to play it Saturday instead because apparently they would have been missing players on Sunday.Quote:

how ye fixed wolverine? one cup ready from the other night, will ye be filling the 2nd saturday
2-0 avenue id guess
Can't see any chance of an upset on Saturday. Avenue 4-0 I'd say
We have a full team for the cup final. Monday night was a good game for us to play before saturday, derby games are always tough. We are taking this game very serious, Bridge B getting to back to back finals shows they have great character in the team. Hopefully the weather is good, decent crowd and an entertaining game to finish the season. It feels like we ve been playing this season for about 2 years at this stage
Have to disagree. last year Bridge B were a better outfit and had character imo. This year theyve gotten the luck of the draw and poxed their way to the final its not because of character its because of pox they are in the final again. they beat a poor Bridge Celtic side in 2nd rnd, rovers b in Quarter final and Burren. Avenue will trounce them saturdayQuote:

€10 as usual
€10 is a bit pricey but then again there's not much oppurtunity for the league to charge into games
