Well done to Rock on winning the cup. Fully deserved victory.
anyone have a report from the 17s final this evenin?
On another note, i saw that the limerick boys have been giving their views on a team of the season so has anyone got any input? Should be a fairly interesting topic.
bang on with your cup final prediction there studsup. well done to rock rovers also, they desrved the win. Bunratty shot themselves in the foot before the game even started and during it as well.
Cratloe Celtic should be ashamed of themselves, to be 6 nil down after an hour of a crucial playoff and lose 6-2. They're down where they should be now anyway and good ridance to em. Showing up to a few games with just 7 or 8 players is pathetic
avenue won 1 nil to put an end to newtowns great run. yet again an example of how teams can get up for one off games. lively game thought they deserved their when, were solid at the back. was expecting a bit more from the newtown dream team after all the talk bout them.Quote:

In the last min Avenue keeper made a great double save to make sure this great Newtown team will have to settle for the league despite all their building upQuote:

Come on lads. ye must have opinions on the team of the season. or even players/young players of the season?
Well there must be 4 or 5 from newmarket team picked for it,maybe 1 or 2 from lifford and avenue also,rock rovers and bunratty might get few nominations also after there cup run.Quote:

Up to a few weeks ago i have watched Bunratty in most of their home games. Made a few calls and found out a few things. Davy Hogan is just back from injury, Monie same and is not fit at all, as for Ritchie, he would have started but for going AWOL over last 2 weeks missing games with no excuses! Was surprised to see Scales back, he was injured for a while and then decided he didn't want to play football, he came back 3 weeks ago. The system they played on Sat was the same system that beat Avenue and Lifford in other cup games. Agree that management should have changed the system but the players need to take responsibility, IMO they didn't show up on the night but when they upped the pace and passed the ball they nearly got what would have been an undeserved leveller to force extra time. While players and management will be very down for a while i think they under performed for the season and if they stick together and add 1 or 2 they could come back big time next season. They will be a very hurt group and if they channel that hurt in the right direction IMO they could be up with the top teams in the league next season. Hard luck to all the lads and well done for turning around a season that for long periods looked like they would be relegated. I look forward to being able to get back to watching them next season.Quote:

Anyone with nothing to do on Monday night might consider going toDoora to see this cup final.Strange time to be on almost like hiding it away??? 2 good football sides ,old adversaries ,Newtown going for the double ,won the 2 league matches 2-1 and 5-0,cocky as hell but Avenue spirit will never say die and very good team under Gary Seery.Should be a good one.
Any takers???

Cratloe were only in the Premier 2 seasons ago and they've had successive relegations. Since they went from the Premier some of their players have used it as a way 'to keep fit' for Cratloe's GAA teams. That Cratloe team have no heart and from what I can see only a few lads actually give a sh!t about the club. That's why they're down in the 3rd division now and they're there to stay. LazyLegs dont be tryin to stir .....Quote:

evan glynn would have to get on my first team along with terry duggan, also scott hennessy from lifford, and crusher from newmarket would be a better option than o reilly imo.Quote:

cant argue with most of your selections there lazylegs, perhaps you could fit in outreds picks in it too
no i have nothing against anyone from cratloe. where did i say that cratloe's resources are better than cooraclare? i said theirs are hardly better than cratloe. they're about the same id say, they both have 1 junior team and both have poor standard pitches. one of the players told me that was said so i take it it was then.and im not coming on here slagging them im only giving my view/opinion, its hardly out of order. so theres no need for you to try and be the nice guyQuote:

Tulla's facilities are the best I've seen in the country. Credit to them it was a pleasure to play there.:ball:
Fair play papa. Good to see that ye have something at the end of a poor season.Any idea what the story is for next season?
yes they wont be there next year
Well done to Newtown last night but in the words of the Hot House Flowers
"Dont go!!!!! Dont leave me now now now!!!!"
As for the facilities in Tulla. Was not there myself but one of our players described them as "League of Ireland standard" Well done to everyone in Tulla and I hope ye gain promotion Sunday.
Also well done to Olympic for an easy win away to Rock last night. We now have no messy playoff's in the 1st division anyway. All will be decided at the Rock vs Corofin game Sunday.
I imagine Rock are still well sozzled after the weekend. I know Bunratty are and they lost the final!!!!

No seriously, well done on winning last game ever for Newtown.
I haven't seen Tulla's place yet, Heard it the business tough. Thats one more Club in Clare with good facilities so hopefully more to follow, it can only be good for the league in general.
Don't think any amount of singing is going to change the situation, their gone.Quote:

so whats the story if corofin win are they up and is a draw good enough for olympic to go up :ball:
[quote=old git;948370]Great win for Olympic last night. Guaranteed them a play-off place at the very least. Corofin have to beat Rock to gain the second automatic promotion place. By all accounts Rocks heart wasn't in it and understandably so.:ball:Quote:

That would be individuals as Newtown will be out of business next year. Can't comment on the Clare League thing, maybe you can as you mention "we seeking legal action". Wouldn't have a clue what the team up on The Riverside will be next year, i wouldn't be surprised if they pull a few of Newtown players from last year. I can't be a part of something that doesn't exist.Quote:

Congrats to Tulla and Corofin on their promotions.
ST have some worries about relegation, some crucial games ahead for them some head to head on the relegation issue, just shows you the state of junior football in our town.Quote:

This is very true, Shannon has 7 Junior teams, A and B's included. None of which are playing in the Premier leagues "Clare or Limerick".Not so long ago Shannon had 3 teams from playing Premier. At the moment Junior football is at its all time low.Quote:

i'll go for olympic in extra time or on penalties
Well done to Gerry and the lads at Shannon Tn for getting 2 wins in a week to secure safety...although a Park-Town vs Shn Town derby next year would have been interestingQuote:
