Any good friendlies in town during the week?
Heard yesterday Paddy Purcell has signed for Newmarket, any1 confirm this? Massive addition if true!
OLD News melon i posted that about two weeks ago on old clare league thread ... Paddy has said he has not signed for anybody yet>> but training and played friendly last week for newmarket so looking good for them ?Quote:

The sum of these players doesn't equate to the powers of Paddy Purcell.
How many games do they miss a season though? If paddy is going there its to win things I'm sure he's not going just for the fun of it. I just don't understand how newmarket still do so well each season with all these players off playing hurling during the season, maybe the management aren't happy with "nearly winning" but clearly these players aren't too pushed about it??Quote:

I'd imagine he's going there to play for his mate Crusher. This is the earliest the premier has started in years so only time will tell how well Newmarket do with or without their hurlers.Quote:

I just seen the full fixture lists for the upcoming season. Credit must go to the new fixtures secretary Donal Kirby here. It is great to see, what will happen if a game is cancelled? will it then go to the bottom of the list or does that particular game have to be played before we move on
Where can you see the full fixture list for the upcoming season? Thought you could only see the first round of fixtures on the clare league websiteQuote:

If you go to the clare league website, go into fixtures. Then right down at the bottom of the page there is a link for prem, 1st, 2nd and 3rd divisions.
That would be an awful pity about lifford if true fatronaldo
Thanks!Quote:

What is the talk about lifford folding? Thought they had a new manager in place and getting a few older players back. Anyone got any info on this?
Prem: 1st Newmarket, 2nd Ennis Town, 3rd Avenue
1st div.:1st Ennistymon, 2nd Mountshannon, 3rd Moher
2nd div.:1st Rhine, 2nd Burren, 3rd St.Pats
3rd div.: 1st West Clare 2nd Coole 3rd Inch
Ya they have a new manager the hermitage manager of last year..heard that he had some tage players goin with him (john maher,joe lynch and niggs) but word now is only lynch is signing. .can anyone give any comment on this?
Agree with that. Could have and should have been done years ago. Why are olympic at home in their first two games though? Thought it would be home every second match?Quote:
