Corrib rangers do not have all L.O.I. players with them......they nearly got relegated last year and brendan has turned them around in his first season as a player/manager and all he has brought in including himself is 4 players
They will be a good bet to beat Westport this sunday
I think Brendan will be a future Galway Utd manager and hes still only 27 and still good enough to play L.O.I. going by the way he is playing this season
Strong at the back, strong in midfield but not particularly mobile, nippy wide men & like to play a big man up front. They're a decent side & doing well in the clare league. Difficult to break down & some nice players going forward.Quote:

well they got relegated from the Premier while Avenue won it! So they are a big step up from Moher.
How about Killarney Celtic, we are playing them on Sunday?

(bit like ray wilkins utd v brighton fa cup 2-2 game, more direct). avenue huffed and puffed but that goal knocked the wind out of us. with 15 mins left and avenue chasing the game tralee knocked in a 3rd. in fairness it was like a training game for tralee in the last 15. knocking the ball around left back keeper right back and they could have had 1 r 2 more goals. they have a great set up pitch wise (never knew brendans park are so close to them, like cusack park to aldi away floodlights the whole works) the ref was the best ref i have encountered for a long while. **** even the pub we went back to was quality (the huddle) with an away fixture in last 32 v rathkeale i would fancy tralee to progress and who knows.........watch this space.
so from a well ****ed off avenue diehard i'm off to ask santa for a bit of backbone and maybe even rudolph, a leader.

to answer some questions. The players didnt all play first team, they were reserves and under age players as well, which wouldnt make them ex-LOI players.
Waterford Crystal, lucky,lucky boys. Phew!!!! And they have a tough one coming up.
a tough one? I wouldn't say that.

who won the coachford v carrigaline match?
Right lads any Newtown boys there want to give us (Porto) a run-down of what to expect this weekend when we leave the Pale to travel down to lovely Kerry? We heard you were a strong side with a number of the Clare Oscar Traynor Squad in your team, and thought ye might have came through. No closing ranks against the Dubs now, spill!
Anyone got any info on Ballybofey United? Not looking forward to the journey. :eek:
well Dr Mad, we thought we were a strong side too but were very poor on the day & Killarney deserved the win. They have a nice enough set up but the pitch was very poor due to the conditions. Scrappy game 0-0 at half time. Killarney got a scrappy first goal & caught us on the break each time after that while we were chasing the game. They are a decent side that try to pass it. Keeper is good, defence is ok but a bit slow if you can turn them. Full backs push on. Lots of runners in midfield but dont like it when they are tackled, very decent player in the centre runs all day. Strikers are ok, hard working but nothing special. The danger comes from the overlapping wide men. I have to say their finishing was clinical. Decent side overall. Final note dont hold your breath for any major hospitality in the pub after.Quote:

It was an excellent result for Crystal albeit a bit fortunate
Tommy, Killarney were an average team up to last year but have improved this year and I reckon 3-4 nil to Portmarnock away from home is too kind of a prediction!Quote:
