Hibs may well lose 3 points but it has not happened yet. Sad to see the objection from Olympic b after they getting battered by hibs. Still 3 points will be very hard to come by for them this season so they might as well go for it

Agree Hibs probally better team on the day and the odd jack Charlton style by Hibs up to leahy is an option not used enough at times.
Who were the 4 first team players Hibs were missing ..?? clutching at straws now trying to class Rineanna as a very strong 2nd Division team

the 3 points are gone unfortunately Hibs made a mistake playing suspended player and rules are in place by league.

OT game abandoned in 2nd half. Broken leg for Enda Craddock from Coole FC. 2 1 Clare were up against Shannon Town.

Watched 3rd division shield final Saturday and found it a very entertaining game..shannon hibs losing 5-1to a b team is shocking really considering that's their strongest team in the club..

Your point is irrelevant. Ennis has a population of about 27 or 28 thousand people and about 10 or 11 teams playing front ennis. Shannon has a population of about 10 or 11 thousand people and 7 or 8 teams locally.

Hi lads, Clare came out to play Desmond yesterday in a challenge match for the Oscar Traynor, would any of ye know the result?

**footballfriend** · 20/10/2016, 6:41 PM

It was 2 nil to Clare.

**fatronaldo** · 21/10/2016, 10:33 PM

That is a poor excuse second..still think a club like hibs should not have lost to a B team by that margin..It's embarrassing imo

Your entitled to your opinion. But what do you mean " a club like hibs " . ..
Unfairness if Gary leahy was there I can guarantee you it would have been a different game. He is way too good for that division.

**fatronaldo** · 22/10/2016, 7:56 AM

A club coming into the clare league to make a impact why else would they be in it??..yes gary is a good player but if you are relying on one player something is wrong..imo the result would have been the same maybe not the score line..

I think Hibs winning the shield would have been a bonus for them but they might be more concerned with making your impact with winning league or just getting Promoted couple of teams still in the 3rd division Who are previous shield winners ?
gary on his day is to good for the 3rd Division and a serious addation to Hibs when he is Available

I agree that lifford probally would have won final on 2nd half performance only and helped big time by Hibs collapse.

On a more serious note just spotted a fixture on league website for next Wed night in county grounds Olympic A V Newmarket A who have already met in the league ?? we are all waiting for the Big one Town A V Newmarket

**mouldedstuds** · 26/10/2016, 10:35 AM

Newmarket needed a game because they have a free weekend that weekend for S Kellys wedding.
Olympic obviously agreed to it. Shannon town v Newmarket
games will be towards end of season I suppose a cliff hangar for the league

Newmarket Needed a game ?? they only played Fai at weekend and only one league game less played than most teams in the premier league

Clare league fairly hammered hibs for illegal player v olympic b. six points deduction and 100 euro fine anybody else think it extremly harsh? I cant think of any other teams receiving them same punishment from league for playing illegal player.

**Cruyff** · 03/11/2016, 8:44 AM

I heard they appealed it to Munster football association and list again so now it's �300 I'm told

It's in the rule book so it probably is right. However the player that was suspended served his 1 match automatic suspension. Hibs heard nothing from the league about a further 2 games so he came on as a sub at half time against Olympic b. Game finished 6-2 to hibs. The league claim they sent an email to the club informing of the further 2 game suspension, an email that hibs never received. Hibs were hardly trying to cheat putting the player's name on the match card in a local derby. I think common sense would be to give the 3 points to Olympic and leave it at that.

Cruff, 250 to appeal to munster so 350 euro It has cost the club

**old git** · 03/11/2016, 11:53 AM

Sidecutter, common sense i think everybody would agree 3 point deduction and fine would be enough would be very intrested to know how many other clubs were deducted 6 points for same offence by league? As for league rules three rules currently being broken and ignored by clare league.
