Why is it the leagues fault? Wouldn't say many players are going to say no to pike, especially with the amount of petrol money they give there players for the long journey :pQuote:

And keeps the rest for himself.. also there is plenty of very good pitches in clare so that's a stupid argument .. and hibs haven't gone to clare league so maybe you should get them facts right too..Quote:

Well i can see Jim's thinking , Newmarket and especially Avenue will not be as strong as last season , but i still think Newmarket are slight favourites but should be pushed all the way by Bridge Utd. and probably Ennis Town. Should be the most competitive prem in a while.
Newmarket wont be as strong, Avenue won't be as strong, Bridge look very good and Tulla were 4th last year and much stronger this year. If your basing your opinion on the friendly played last week, granted you might gather that opinion, I wouldn't read into that game too much won't reflect at all on the season, Tulla beat Kilkishen 11 nil Tuesday night too in a 60 minute game.Quote:

Not really rider cups. Kilkishen had 9 players and tulla gave them 2 lads which included a lad for goals who wasn't and never has been a goalie. They also had 2 lads playing that hadn't played a game of footie in years. If I was to go comparing results against prem teams kilkishen played tulla in cup last season lost on pens after losing a player with a broken leg. And if my memory serves me right kilkishen beat tulla a in a friendly last pre season but as we all know friendlies don't really matter or give a true reflection on a teams ability
All i'm saying Funky is be careful what you wish for , Kilkishen have a good solid 1st div team , but you need a lot more than that to even begin to compete in the premier. No offence intended.
None taken rider, sure who's to say that b teams will finish at the top again this season. Especially after today's results, good start for ST, fairly hammered Newmarket and avenue b were soundly beat by lifford. I wonder have they lost a few of their better players from last season to their A team
Anyone know how the 1st division league cup is being run? There are 3 groups of 4, is it the winners of the 3 groups and the best 2nd placed teams into the semi finals?
The team that wins it's group with the the best record out of the 3 groups goes straight into the final. The winners of the other two groups play each other in a semi final
I saw a bit of avenue v lifford and they look a lot weaker than last season , but apparently they were missing quite a few, may have lost 1 or 2 to A team at most . I think a few have moved away and some more now playing in Galway.
Saw the lifford ave game..lifford dominated from start to finish won all tackles and headers look like a very good 1st division team
Shannon Olympic 3-0 corofin
Ennistymon 0-5 bridge utd
Shannon Olympic B 2-3 Shannon town B
Any other results?
Maybe take a wild guess and go on claresoccer.netQuote:

Newmarket 4-0 up and pegged back to 4-4 and needed a last minute winner to get the win. Not like a team of Newmarket's quality to throw away a 4-0 lead? Have they lost anyone from last seasons squad?
Also Shannon Town beat bridge celtic 3-1 and look to be flying it?
It is like Newmarket to be 4 up, Its not like Newmarket to throw away 4 goals to make it 4.4, It is like Newmarket to get a late winner. Take what you want from that. Missing lots of players at the moment for different reasons from what Ive been told. 3 pts and job done regardless of how it went. Also a poor result from ourselves last night against Newmarkets under strength B team.Quote:

Some result for lifford away to burren yesterday 9-1..that is some beating
I imagine Burren were missing a few due to gaa matches , but even so that was some win , looks like 1st div might be between lifford and shannon town this season.
NOF as usual have the GAA problem and playing the "Super Cup" this weekend is as usual a waste of time , as we have seen in the past -
Its a pity , and i dont like to repeat myself , that more of the players are nt from the village - maybe something to consider and develop their underage :confused:- NOF are going through a transition period and they will be challenged this year as JM has predicted , with the likes of Avenue in decline and Tulla and and the Bridge ascending maybe they better do it this year as it may be their last for a while .
Olympic will probably go down and might be even lucky to sustain a team this season - struggling by all accounts
Corofin are a young team and might have a good league run but thats about it
the remainder of the teams arent worth talking about -:)
Ya looks like Olympic are struggling so far alright, go back into the hole you obviously just crawled out of
Premier Division
Maloney Garden Machinery Premier Division

take it handy nutz.3 games played
Just stating it doesnt look like they are struggling going by first 3 games think they will finish mid table
I think the Bridge will win it this year and the 3 teams that came up will go back down
Olympic's season will run a bit like Liverpool / ArsenalQuote:

Ridiculous statement considering Olympic are top of the league after winning again tonight, albeit after only 4 games but to say they'll go down is a bit crazy really especially with the standard of some of the other teams in the premier this year! The 3 teams that came up to go straight back down without a doubt. League is there for the taking for the first time in a few years with everyone taking points off everyone so far this year but I think the bridge will just edge it

Yeah you're right actually old git, maybe I could be saying that they'll definitely go down a bit too soon, I suppose time will tell! Haha definitely. Poor result again the other night but missing 5-6?? Did you enjoy your jog there last night, going 90!!! ;-) hahaQuote:

Shannon town won 6-0
Any other results from today?
Looks like Shannon town are making the clare league decision to put them into the 1st division a good one. The have won all their games so far easily. Imagine what they would be doing in the 2nd division. Look big favourites for league already.
if nothing else its a good indicator of how good/tough the limerick league is. Shannon town were an average 1a side in limerick and finding this year very easy. can even afford to have the evergreen Gerry Kelly in goals.....Quote:
