There should be a minimum of 72 hours between games.

If a club enters a 2nd team and that team does not complete their fixtures, the clubs 1st team should get an automatic 10 point deduction from the current campaign.

There should be a team of the month award for all divisions. Clubs that have played a minimum of 3 games to be eligible for award.

Clubs should be allowed to use 5 subs for matches under jurisdiction of the Clare league.

Our club had to travel to 2 clubs this season that pulled out before the season finished. Moher B ended up getting 12 points off these clubs without having to play them. For one of these games we had to make a 50 mile round trip. I would prefer to see titles decided on the pitch at the end of the season and not with walkovers. This might be an incentive for clubs not to withdraw their B team with 4 or 5 games left.

Fact is to do something about it you need to send your nomination/proposal form to the lg before the AGM and it will be discussed at the AGM.

I imagine what Madden meant about "nothing major to discuss" is that very little or no clubs have sent in proposals (bar Bridge Utd).

Very good point CousinSyl, Just out of curiosity how many people writing on the thread have actually ever sat in on a Clare League AGM, you could count them on one hand I imagine. Not to mention understanding the Rules and Regulations regarding same.
The Committee of the Clare League is elected at the AGM by the Clubs, any rule changes or structures i.e. League and Cup Competions happen at the AGM.
Everyone and his Granny can talk sh##e all day on this site about changes and their own personal grieviances, unless proposals are submitted to the League prior to the AGM, there will be no changes and the wheel will just keep turning, in whatever direction the Committee decides.

yes .. and as far as i know they got promoted from 3rd division last year runner up to moher b .. :ball::ball:

I would suggest the 10 point deduction go to the team for the next season and if that team pulls out it goes to whichever team that club has in the league......plus a 200 euro fine for each instance.:eek:

makes more sense to me!!!!!

Any news on last nights proceedings?

Two clubs missing Cooraclare and Mountshannon. These clubs finished 1st & 2nd in fair play league but as they did not attend AGM award & cheque for €100 went to Connolly.

- Premier league games to be played@11am on Sundays where possible.
- All clubs attend meeting with referees before season starts.
- Delegate meetings to be held in Ennis.
- 3rd place playoffs to remain in place.
- 5 sub rule oulawed by uefa.
- No premier, 1st, 2nd or 3rd games on Saturday.
- All clubs to pay €100 towards developing U17 & U18 players.
- Already in rule book that home team must supply 2 fifa approved balls for
match or forefit game.
- Only Inch delegate spoke on the fixtures. No other club seconded motion.
Looks like everyone is happy for Moher to play on Monday's & Friday's.
- Rules & Regulations book no way!
- Punishment for clubs that withdraw to be discussed at committee level.
- No mention of summer soccer.
- Disciplinary fines to be paid on time. No payment no game.
- New secretary and vice chairman.

When is the league due to start?

Word on the street is he got asked to take 2 positions inside limerick,never mind about newmarket,he would be more keen in going into limerick to one of the bigger clubs,not counting clare league hoping to involve him in the finance end of things ! seems a waste if he doesn,t be involved somewhere,with all his experience.
