Lads where have you been!!!!!.Last year the league specifically started first and early on the basis that the league was not there to help GAA heads keep fit.In the past various efforts were made not to clash with the GAA but this was not recipricated by them so the view was taken to ignore them and start on time with the league on the basis that otherwise it was not fair on clubs who purposely did not sign GAA heads.

Ah Shels,
I knew that you'd be the first to reply to that.
my post was only being sarcastic.

Carew won 3-2. Good second half by all accounts but I was not there so can't give an accurate account. We were missing 5-6 first teamers but I'm sure Carew were in the same boat.

Bunratty play Newmarket A at 7.30 this Thursday in Rineanna.

I expect that Rineanna play Newmarket B in the other semi. Final usually played then on Saturday.

I hope to have the fixtures each Monday for the following weekend which I will post on here... (next Tues for the opening weekend though)

I doubt we will get the schedule of fixtures you mentioned as FAI and Munster winners/losers determines fixtures week to week.

I suppose there will be a few weeks of evening matches at the start, or have you heard?

Interesting, will that affect the original final date (sat) or not? We are playing the village Bs this evening in other semi.

avenue beaten by corbally last night 5-3 went 2-0 up, fitness came into play and we tired towards the end! tom carmody played very well before pickin up a knock! overall bar fitness levels we looked fairly good with number of decent performances! so lookin much more positive for start of season!

Bar Newtown making more signings than Mourinho have any of the other clubs made any definite signings? Should be more clear now that the season is only 2 weeks away

Thats rich comming from you, Newtown have a new management team in place who have gone out and signed players who want to play football,they are training hard and doing everything right,they have won the wesley webb already,please do not put Newtown in the same bracket as chelsea as we don't pay anyone and if i am not mistaken you are from Lifford who have tried to rob any decent player who is under 21 on the pretence they are doing it for Clare soccer.mark my words it will destroy Clare soccer.

**Pretender** · 17/08/2006, 7:47 AM

Take it easy... was just having a laugh... nobody could buy junior league, just saying ye are the only team who seem to have made any signings. Sorry if you took it the wrong way. Lifford haven't robbed anybody. The 21s team members who are actually under 21 are all from Clare and most have been with Liffiord for years or in the past. There were players (actually U-21 year olds) signed from one town team (who I don't think are being represented in youths... the lads age groups) and a few players came back to Clare ftbal form Galway teams and UL/AA. Why will it ruin Clare soccer?

**Planners** · 17/08/2006, 8:43 AM

Newtown's new signings are too young - there going to have serious problems getting them out of the bed on a Sunday morning in the muck and the rain - good day players .
I also think Newmarket Celtic will struggle in this years league - serious problems in the camp according to rumours .
Rineanna will be the one to watch although you have the Bridge and Ave to consider .
Lifford don't have the bottle to see it through as seen last season on the final day - no killer instinct
