Bridge are around 7/1.Bunratty started at 15s but are now 12/1 shot.Moher are 6/1.Mountshannon are around 18/1 and Avenue are 6/1Quote:

corofin won the cup last 2 years on merit beating premier teams along the way... but then why are they still in first division .. looks like maybee not good enough or consistant enough to get into preimer league ..:ball:Quote:

In my opinion there is not a huge difference between these divisions,everytime a prem team play a division 1 side they always find it difficult,the way your talking i think you thinking of limerick prem and 1a thats a big difference but not the clare league even doh its improving:rolleyes:Quote:

As for a hat trick of Cup wins, I cant see it happening this year, as surely either Moher, Newtown, Avenue or the Bridge must be fancied.
prem teams usualy get a fired up cup match against 1st division teams who want to prove they are as good as preimer teams on the day... but will add if a 1st division team is good enough / consistant enough they should be getting promoted and staying in preimer league ...Quote:

I agree we need to get into the premier to be considered a serious force. In the play off game last year we weren't up for it and were well beaten. It will be very difficult to win 3 in a row as we are no longer a surprise package. I would have thought we would be longer odds than 6/1.

nah i dont think so lads :) ye are the tottenham of the clare league! good players but always somethin missin! truth?
disagree with you there,seen newtown play a few times this season and totally different team and system,even there sub-bench has alot of quality,bit too early to be writing newtown off,they will win silverware this season if they have there full team.:ball:Quote:

you are right there,avenue havent been mentioned at all,totally agree with you there,there well up there 2Quote:

You think it has anything to do with there Under21 team..? Surely it wouldnt have that big of an effect on there junior team,right?
i think most of there junior team are there 21s team so it would have effected them alot playing for both teams:ball:Quote:

I know if i was playin junior and U21's i'd want to go out boozin at least one night over the weekend! maybe this has played a part in their downfall!? One thing is for certain, The Boss is keepin a low profile lately ain't he! :)
realistically the league this year is in the hands of bridge celtic, avenue and moher! newtown wont be gettin any silverware except maybe one of the mickey mouse cups that are made up at the end of each season!
dunno wat happened lifford to be honest i thought there new signings were gonna finally win them the league! looks like they came unstuck!
who's for relegation?
surely not lifford wat ye think?

Don't wanna say it but Shannon Oly and Mountshannon i'd say.... Newtown have a better chance than Avenue of winning anything major this year imo.
Have ya seen Newmarket play lately? Looks like they'll be playin all there games away as well.Quote:

I have no fear of them being relegated once they get a chance to play on a decent surface.
Over the years they got on well.that hill of a pitch is finally gone,sure newmarket are so use to playing on a hill thats no excuse,maybe there so use to the hill that a decent surface wont suit them,its a funny old game:ball: :ball:Quote:

ref was poor and gave nearly every 50/50 to olympic
fair play to bridge celtic b...i dont think anyone gave them much of a chance
Newtown 1-0 Bridge utd...heard that bridge wer missin a good few players for this match because of their stupid pub tournament on paddy's day??whats that about
Bunratty 1-2 Mountshannon
Newmarket - Corofin was postponed...probably be a neutral venue next week maybe.i hear corofins pitch is in a bad way at the moment
any fixtures for next weekend yet CousinSyl????
any fixtures cousinsyl??
Dont think they were missing many, just the usual guys that dont show most weeks,Barry Downs And Albert Finnan Were on the bench a surprise i think,young Tom White never even togged,Quote:
