Tulla Utd will be running a 5 a side competition on the Bank Holiday Monday 4th May. Once 20 teams have entered registration will be closed. The cost of entry is €100 per team.
Paddy Collins from Limerick has agreed to take the referee assessor job in Clare. Paddy will meet with managers of all clubs before the start of next season. He will also run a referee beginners course in Clare. Anyone interested in doing this course send me on your details and I will arrange a date with Paddy to run this course.
Having an assessor should improve the overall standard of the League and will also give Clare referees the opportunity to referee matches outside of the county.

To all Junior Soccer Clubs in Clare & Limerick from Peter Webb:
Peter Webb is organising a fundraising event for Milford Hospice and Cahercalla Community Hospital on Sunday 24th May. Most people have at some time been affected by the work that is carried out by both of these hospices and would be aware that they must raise the funding themselves. It is with this in mind that Peter is looking for soccer clubs in Clare & Limerick to unite in one major fundraiser to support both of these worthy causes. There are more than 130 clubs involved in both leagues with some clubs having two or maybe three teams at junior level, and Peter asks that each club nominate two participants to run in the Midwest 10K fun run to be held in Shannon on Sunday 24th May. All of the organisation will be carried out by Peter and the committee he has setup and all you would have to do is register on the website they have setup www.midwest10k.com with the name of your club and the names of the people participating in the run. When registered they will send you on one card for each runner and further details of the run and hope you will raise as much as possible, with no amount being too small.
Peter has spent most of his life involved in schoolboy and junior soccer in both the Clare and Limerick leagues and having lost a sister and very recently a brother to cancer, both in Milford, he is attempting to return the incredible kindness and care they have shown by organising this fundraiser with the support of Junior soccer in both leagues. With a small amount of effort we can on a one off basis make a substantial contribution to this very worthy cause.
The CDSL would encourage clubs to support this fundraiser.
The Draw for the next round of the Prego Menswear Clare Cup will take place on Friday evening at 6.30PM live on Clare FM. Matches will be played on 5th & 12th April.
Some clubs are not sending in results of morning games until 6 or 7. We need these results sent in after matches so that we can update the website and send on the results to Clare FM and the papers.
We will be running a fashion show later this year and details will be available after we finalise them with Martina Costello.
We had over 40 transfer in the last transfer window.
The €40 fine for 3 yellow cards was an administrative error. If you have already paid it you have been credited with the amount. You only get a €20 (4 x €5) fine with your 1 game suspension when you have reached 4 yellow cards.
Anyone interested in doing a CPR course should contact Michael Leahy.
