also been 'lightweight' is not a disadvantage as there is less belly to carry in the last 10 mins of games!! :rolleyes:
Its a probability that lifford A home games will be in Lee's rd for the rest of the season!! :ball:Quote:

Is it true Bunratty have no B team this year? What happens when a team folds before the league even starts, is the respective division just one smaller?
yes good point it is a good sign if u can still win without playing well ... but luck still plays a big part in everything it is the soft points dropped that usually cost teams the leagueQuote:

as everbody seems to be dropping points so far .. also some teams have a lot more belly to carry than others ,, i wont name anybody

Bridge Celtic o Newtown B 1
A goal by Newtown B's Willie O Donoghue ,headed home after an inchperfect Rory Price free kick ,early in the second half ,was enough to give the understrength visitors the points against a much improved Bridge Celtic B last night.Celtic,who had shipped 7 goals against the other Shield finalists contenders,Shannon Olympic,were a vastly improved side from their effort against the other half of the Shannon Old Firm, but still didnt unduly trouble Newtowns keeper Jason Phelan,who was execellently protected by a well organised replacement back four of Gearoid Magee,Trevor Donnellan,Robbie McCoy and scorer O'Donoghue.Despite extreme pressure for the remainder of the game the home sides best efforts were able dealt with and Newtown held on for the final whistle to put them through to the £rd Division Shield Final ,much to the delight of manager Bunny Monaghan
Congrats to Newtown B and best of luck in the final. If anyone else is going to win it I'd rather see a Shannon side do it. Hopefully both Newtown and Olympic will both be fighting for the title this year.Quote:

Be honest now... do ye really hope the other side of the old firm has won when ye get the scores every Sunday just so ye can both "top the league in harmony together" :D :D :D
I'd have my doubts
well to be fair there has always been intense rivalry but never any hassle so I dont have any problem wishing Olympic the best in going for promotion.I have to add that they were very sporting after we beat them last week and thats when you know who are real sportsmen or not!!Quote:

Rivalry existis on the field sure and noone gloats better than Newtown sure :D but I'd rather be battling against someone I know so I can partake in some good old fashioned slagging rather than some bunch from out west.Quote:

Very good to hear....Quote:

:mad:
i think it is only olympic b but what's even stranger is that apparently lifford just started a b team this year and they go put straight into division 2. anyone else know if that's true or what the reasoning is behind it?Quote:

Well they're playing in the 2nd division shield. But then I suppose we've seen that doesn't mean much. :DQuote:

You are right about one thing though, something needs to be done about all the teams pulling out. Where are all the players going?
Very surprised that bunratty b pulled out. All their hard work from getting out of the third division and into the first just thrown away. Surely the team that they had last year would have had a decent chance of getting back into the first division. Bunratty are one of the biggest clubs in clare but they can't get the players to form a b team. Even the a team have lost a lot of players. What's going on at bunratty that everybody wants to leave.
As for Olympic they should have stayed in the third division and battled it out to win the league or at least to win promotion on merit. Coming 3rd in the league and then losing a play off final only to have promotion given to them by default is no achievment. They''ll most likely struggle in the 2nd division anyway seeing as how they were'nt able to win a place in the division on the field.

i think lifford asked to play 2nd div shield and this suited clare league.
sounds a bit strange when 3rd division shield also had 2-4 teams pulling out of competionQuote:

Sorry, I was going on second hand information and really just wanted clarification so I could reconfirm my source is a muppet. Sounds like they are doing well in it too judging by the result against Cooraclare.Quote:
