Sssshhh. Don't wake Papa until Sunday morning
Any results from the first round of games?
Lifford-Newmarket postponed Friday night due to Lifford having an Under 21 game today. Fixed now for tomorrow night causing a complete reshuffle of the mid-week fixtures as well as compromising lads working shifts/going on holidays. Bit of a joke that the Ennis men didn't realise their game was Sunday, looks like Clare League accomodating them at the expense of other teams. What are the thoughts on this?
www.claresoccer.net updated with fixtures & results
Bridge Celtic led 0-3 after 25 mins. Scales scored a penalty before half time to make it 1-3. Richie Lillis got it to 2-3 and Brian Keane got the equalizer with just over 10 mins to go.
avenue put 5 past newtown?? must be their ageing defence that was their downfall very bad start for the favourites
Did someone remember to wake Jay.:p
MATCH IS ON THIS EVENING AT 1830 IN NEWMARKET..
AS FOR LIFFORD..AFTER ADVISING THE CLARE LEAGUE THAT THEY ONLY FOUND OUT ON FRI THAT THEY HAD AN U21 GAME ON SUNDAY (WHICH IS AMAZING THAT THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION ONLY NOTIFY CLUBS 2 DAYS BEFORE THAT THEY HAVE A MATCH IN A NATIONAL COMPETITION!!) THEY THEN FAILED TO TURN UP FOR THIS EIRCOM LEAGUE MATCH AS THEY COULDNT FIELD A TEAM.....
THIS LEADS ME TO ASK A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS..1> ARE THE CLARE LEAGUE GOING TO BOW TO PRESSURE EVERY WEEK THAT A LIFFORD LEAGUE MATCH CLASHES WITH AN EIRCOM U21 MATCH AND EVERY OTHER TEAM IN THE CLARE LEAGUE SUFFERS BECAUSE OF IT?
2> WHY DIDNT THE CLARE LEAGUE JUST TELL LIFFORD LIKE THEY WOULD ANY OTHER CLUB TO CALL UP THEIR B TEAM PLAYERS OR YOUTHS?
LIFFORD SHOULD BE SERIOUSLY SANCTIONED FOR THEIR INABILITY TO FIELD TEAMS IN A NATIONAL COMPETITION NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT THE TELL THE CLARE LEAGUE THAT THEY ONLY FIND OUT 2 DAYS BEFORE THAT THEY HAVE A MATCH. TOTAL BULLS**T FROM THEM.
Saw the first hour of this game and then had to leave but was shocked when heard the final result. When I left it was 2 each with Newtown looking the more likely to win it. Didn't look like any of the old heads were there a very young team. No leaders at the back for newtown looked very suspect from set plays. Avenue didn't impress me too much either. I know it's only 1st game of the season but none of the teams on show yesterday looked like pushing for a league. Who made Newtown favourites other than yourself by the way:confused: Surely Bridge Celtic are fav with Moher and Avenue close by after last season.

Newtown had about 10 players missing yesterday due to holidays and weekends away that were arranged well in advance of the fixtures being published. Players missing included Noel Donnellan, Jason Stretton, Glen Coyle,Ryan Kelly, Kieran Kissane, Jamie Cullen, Greg Deegan, Eamon o Neil.
The league absolutely refused to call off the match and yet only two games went ahead yesterday.
Its not amazing, its corrupt.Lifford didn't even show up for the LOI 21'S game.[/QUOTE]
if the league used a bit of sense newmarket cud hav played avenue, newtown cud hav had their free weekend and lifford cud have played their phantom u21 match...everyones a winner!!!
does m lydon have a connection to lifford?
Why did Lifford not request a free if they had a clashing u21 match.THey cant have not known about it??Im all for supporting their U21 venture but not if they cant organise themselves to avoid fixture clashes.The fact that they didnt field in the u21 is a different matter altogether.
If clubs are not happy with this they should get their delegates to raise the matter at the next meeting and demand a vote.If it is carried then the committee have to enforce it.

Are you joiking?What you outline there is far too logical,practical and fair.
The league is far too busy suiting the GAA based clubs and shows absolutely no support for genuine football clubs whose priority is football first and not helping these lame ducks to bring down the overall standard in the county.
