The rag got it right. Great game today.
Well done to Newmarket - could they catch AVE in the league ?
On a light note some goal scored by the Conolly keeper v Rineanna yesterday to draw the match - video is on facetube
how did rhine/ave game finish last night? how it was played is beyond me, the rain n wind forthe first half i thought it would be called off,closing in forthe league now,well deserved at this stage, grreat scramble for the relegation play off place..
Congratulations to Bridge Utd and Corofin on getting promoted. Good to see the Bridge back where they belong.
I hear corofin pulled a bit of a stunt last night with there Newmarket b fixture, anyone care to shed some light on it??

any predictions for the cup semi finals tomorrow?
Celebrating at half time is never a good idea.
@first Lifford???
Can anyone explain the fixture listings for the end of season game with Newmarket on the 31st and their cup final game on the 1st.???
that Is a question for the fixture secretary to answer :confused:Quote:

Nothing to play for?! Sure if they didn't win they could have been dragged into 3rd place playoff.
Two big games this week for bridge and corofin for league title, and predictions??
Not seeing things. On Clare leagues face book page cup final was fixed for the 1st and on their web site we were down to play them on the 31st.they changed it today.Hmm something's a miss. When has a cup final finished before the league.But what do you expect from the Clare league
Ya 2 big games alright, bridge v Olympic tomorrow could be a cracker, if bridge win they have one hand on the trophy but a win for Olympic would at least ensure a playoff for 3rd, Newmarket b at home to corofin could go either way, if Newmarket have a reasonable squad available to them I could see a potential upset here.. Corofin are a big physical team who seem to bully teams rather than out play them.
Fair play to lifford for beatin avenue Sunday, there safe now and it keeps things interesting for another week at least.
Also credit to kilkishen on back to back promotions, great achievement..
A club going in the right direction.
Who are peoples favorite to get the playoff for premier/first division?? Rock/Connolly/Tulla/Tage???
you are correct match was fixed for 31st and fixture on website .. changed now tough schedule ahead for Newmarket match thur 23rd / sunday 26th cup final sat 1st june and possible league clinching gamev avenue on Tuesday 4th june league could have pushed last game out untll Thursday to give them a few days to recover :ball:Quote:

Corofin will not contribute to the premier next season..
And before people come on here saying I've an anti corofin agenda, I don't, I just think that Clare league has come along way since the medieval style tactics that teams such as corofin employ..
Their not the sole offenders here....
What a stupid post corofin are promoted for the simple reason that they were the 2nd best team in the division this year.you say they were found out by a decent side on a decent pitch corofin have won plenty of matches this year on decent pitches so your comment is pointless . Yes Newmarket b are a good team but not in the top 3 of the division. The table doesn't lie. And corofin are also in cup final in doora where they played there semi final too.im sure they wanted to win last night but were also keeping 1 eye on cup finalQuote:

Don't think they will even get a point in the premier but unfortunately they deserve to be there. A big gap between premier and first at the moment. Bridge united will struggle too as very young but I'd expect them to stay up next year and build on that .
There seems to be a lot of ill feeling towards Corofin. They are promoted, deserve their place in the Premier and it's up to them how they approach it. The gap between the first and the premier is fairly big if you measure it against Newmarket and Avenue but if you look at it from the point of the rest you can set yourself a target to survive and build from there. Both Corofin and Bridge imo will survive as more established clubs seem to be slipping. The Bridge especially if they add a few to their squad they seem a bit light in a few areas. Mountshannon have showed it can be done, having just avoided relegation last season they could realistically finish second this season. They deserve a lot of credit for that.
I also expect Corofin to give Newmarket a tough game in the Cup final and if they win it they deserve credit, I don't understand the ill feeling towards them.
Probably because they are in trouble nearly every year. Between threatening refs and opposition they are a disgrace. One of there supporters hit a bunratty player this year and they keep getting away with it
Congratulations to Avenue.
So looks like Rock in 3rd place playoff. Some comedown for them considering the squad assembled at start of the year.

The Ennis town squad taken from the Clare league website, some of the best talent we have in the county, really should be challenging for leagues not relegation.
They'll still be too strong for Olympic or Bridge Celtic.
I agree first but anything can happen in a playoff .. Are all them players above still player or are some gone back playing gaaQuote:
