Kildysart have surely set a new record for been relegated with minus points?
Bit of a joke really.
they should be thrown out of league and banned from re-entering next year :ball: a disgrace that the 2 walkovers they gave could result in one team winning league title & the other being saved from relegation dogfight its a long hard season for all teams involved and for other teams to suffer for kildysart giving walkovers it makes a mockery of the league :mad:
What happens if Newtown do not enter the league next year?
Does another team get promoted or do they drop the number of teams to be relegated?
If that happened then Burren & Rineanna would get extra points (& newtown obviously) That would really change things at the bottom and drag a lot more teams down towards the relegation places.
There is also a rumour going round that Bridge Celtic could get points from Lifford game because of an illegal player issue. (is there any truth in this?? i heard it from several sources last wk)
If all of the above happened it would make the league a complete farce. It would mean Promotion/relegation could be decided by committee meetings rather than on the pitch.
If the story about bridge celtic being awarded the points from Lifford game is correct :ball:that also means Newmarket could be crowned champions tomorrow night if they beat Bunratty and Avenue fail to beat Rineanna.
breaking news
avenue in their quest to get their own home ground has brought them close to gort off the bypass. in prem talks with gort to ground share and enter galway leagues to compete against mervue and salthill devon.
ps lifford wont have any points taken off them as theres one rule for some teams and a different for the elite. wink wink nudge nudge. did the ruling on other teamwho did the same take as long????????
3 big games tomorrow night. Newtown versus the Burren with both teams desperate for the win. If newtown win it will put them level with Rineanna if they don't get anything off Avenue.
Avenue cant afford to drop any points in their last two games. Newmarket and Bunratty should be a close game. Newmarket going for the league but their neighbours are in a rich vein of form.
I can't see Bridge been awarded the points as Clifford said it's been a while since the alleged incident and nothing has come of it. 2 weeks left and 2 relegation places to be finalised, a lot of teams are 1win from safety.
the illegal player got one extra game ban FOR playing while suspended, so if thats the case and lifford dont get dropped points what tha point in playing if lifford get preferential treatment off the clare league all beacuse they are tied in with em with the leagur of ireland 21's its bullsh*t to be honest, they wont deduct points likethey should because they cant upset them for the above reason and want them to win the league
the 2 sent off vs avenue got 5 games between them
P W D L PTS
Newmarket Cel 15 11 3 1 36
Avenue Utd ....16 10 4 2 34
Lifford ... .......15 10 2 3 32
but,, if they drew the derby an lost to avenue then lifford could win the leauge
lots of ifs and buts,, possible
would newmarket object then if the table stood like this at the end.. ie avnue beat newmarket last game of season and hand lifford the title
Lifford ... .......18 13 2 3 41
Avenue Utd ....18 12 4 2 40
Newmarket Cel 18 12 4 40
How do ye see the league shaping up lads.Do ye see newmarket slipping up or lifford and avenue dropping points? very exciting times at the top of the league.on the other side it is also difficult to predict.Burren to go straight down with newtown in the playoff position.any other in agreement?
lads anyone know who won the team of the month for march and april :confused: Rhine rovers again??
I hear Bunratty are playing there B team tomorrow with the semi final this Sunday and already been safe from relegation ?
It should be a handy one for Newmarket.

division 1B of the galway league so for avenue
Newmarket, only 1 loss says it all.
Bunratty, beating Avenue (Cup & League), Lifford (Cup), and getting out of relegation by winning 6 in a row, they are in great form.
Bridge United, top of the 1st Div.
Rhine rovers should not win it, mickey mouse league from what I've seen. You just need to be sober to win that League!
What do you win if you win it?
handy for newmarket?? dont make us laugh. theirs alot of kevin keegan talk down in bunratty "id love if we beat them" and all that. as for resting players i think u are mixing bunratty up with other clubs as they like urselves dont hand titles to anybody. so stop stirrring as this game doesnt need it one bit. should b a cracker:ball::ball:
plastic pitch, wheres my proof of what?
at the clare league meeting last nite the player got an extra game suspension precisely for being illegal after being sent off
how do u want more proof then that? it was at the meeeting, not some word of mouth chinese whisper.
as for team of the month, it must show how highly ye respect avenue if ye gave it to bunratty for beating them in league and cup..
i doubt highly that bunratty will put out a b team against nwmrkt,, pride has a lot to do with playing against close neighbours, unlike some clubs who, with nothing to play for just fold....
Bunratty need a point to secure their place in the Premier next season so any talk of resting players is rubbish.
Should be a good game tonight. This is Bunratty's 3rd visit to McDonagh Park this season and they have had 1 win (4-1 in the FAI) and 1 defeat (2-1 in the lg). May the best team win tonight!!!!!
hacker how are ye fixed for tonight. do you think there will be any chance of a favour;)
Lads, as regards the illegal player - it definetely looks like one rule for some clubs and a different batch of rules for others. We've already had this illegal
player rule imposed on us - it was an honest mistake and we took the punishment by being thrown out of the cup, as unjust as we may have seen it.... so if there is justice, Lifford should suffer punishment for a mistake whether or not they ment it.. If it takes weeks to sort this out then fair enough but it just shows why some clubs are leaving the Clare league, with this blatent disregard for clubs in Clare who work extremely hard to build a club with several teams/amenities etc only to be knocked down with politics...
For newtown and perhaps other clubs that may be leaving the clare league, best of luck and we hope to meet ye again in a munster Junior or FAi cup, its been a pleasure doing battle with ye - we hope to carry on in the prem but if its in the first div so be it.
not sour grapes. this is a common occurence especially in schoolboys and ye constantly get away with it while other clubs dont.. yes i am avenue but we come under the same rulings as all clare teams (supposed to). clare league take one step forward and five back. the rules are there for all clubs in black and white. there shouldn't have been a discussion points automatically should have been taken and move on. it just makes a mockery and discredits the league and there rules.
Is that cockiness I detect from Newmarket out red? Bunratty not a bad side on their day and when they are up for it they can beat anyone like they proved in the cup. Could be a mistake to wind them up.
Any truth in the rumour that some Newmarket players have already booked days off work next week after the bank holiday in planning for a week long session????
Any predictions for the first division games tomorrow night. Big pressure games for Hermitage, Kilmaley, Olympic and Rock. Any predictions on who goes down??
see plastic tits his hit the nail right on the head. for clare league to maintain respect an independant stance has to be taken. same rulings right across the board. not just for the select. the only time i'd like to see rules bent is if its to help a clare team against another county. (if this is possible) i wonder would the cl be as accomendating.
myleftfoot u will never make a dectective thats for sure, and your source that players have put in for holidays is incorrect. rats dont need winding up for tonight they will do that all on der own. we have the utmost respect for bunratty and know exactly how good they are, but we have to win its as simple as that.
Newmarket 2-1 Bunratty
Newtown 0-1 Burren
Avenue 1-1 Rineanna
Excellent game in Newmarket, all talk of Bunratty rolling over, never materialised, Rats took the lead totally against the run of play, Newmarket stormed forward and 2 great goals saw them through, All roads lead to Mcdonagh park Sunday, 1 more win secures the league
congrats to newmarket
deserving of the title of the course of the season...
well done
