Burren's slim hopes of staying up went last night losing 3-0 in Newmarket, Horse Devitt signing off his league campaign with a 30 yard volley...

Lot of quality goals scored in McDonagh Park this year!!

Ha ha!! No, didn't play. Entertaining game, Bridge Celtic looked like a team that needed a result and were very good in the 1st half, granted we gifted them their 1st goal. Got back into it in the 2nd half and dominated, got the score back to 2-2 and it was anyones game at that stage. However, they got the 3rd and we pushed on a bit too much trying to get the equaliser and were punished with the last kick of the game. Myself and cousinsly over-saw things as Donal has been offered a job with Limerick FC. Season over for the club, time to enjoy a few months off!!!

Avenue 3-0 Bridge Utd B

Good crowd in Doora last night for the cup final. Avenue went 1-0 up inside the first few minutes. Free-kick crossed in from the wing and tapped in by Russell, the Bridge line were very deep - almost back on their own goal line - they were asking for trouble, why they were back that far I don't know. Avenue went 2-0, McDonagh had a shot and went through the keeper's legs. Bridge missed a great chance before half-time to get back into it. 3-0 then and the game was well and truely over. The Bridge did well to get to the final but in the end Avenue were always going to be too strong for them and they could've had a couple more goals as well. Good to see they decided to scrap playing that Rocky music before the game too

Good old Tom Botcher larging it up...

Well done to Avenue on the winning the double...and BUFCB on reaching the final.

Sunday 06/06/10
F.A.I Junior Cup Clare Area Final
County Grounds: Tulla United or Newmarket Celtic or Shannon Olympic V Rineanna Rovers.

This seems a strange way to decide the area winners... 4 teams remain, and they play a quarter final and semi final and 1 team gets a bye to the final. I know they went furthest in the competition but surely 2 semi's and a final is the way to go.

Avenue United

CDSL League and Cup champions 09/10, what a season. Fair play to everyone involved

there were 5 teams involved to begin with olmpic have already beaten lifford in their quarter final match

**mastermind1** · 24/05/2010, 7:27 PM

Lads do you think the clare league should change things up a bit in the league next year, ie. top four teams get seeded in munster and fai competitions the following season, this would surely make the games towards the end of the season a bit more interesting. Anybody agree with this?

**MikeBassett** · 24/05/2010, 9:24 PM

The Clare League have no power to seed teams for them competitions, don't think the FAI or MFA would introduce it anytime in the near future anyway

**The circuspony** · 25/05/2010, 3:11 PM

This has been one seriously long Season!!!
The Burren were unable to field a team on sunday against Rock Rovers.............rather bad form on Lifford to be honest, they'll have an interesting game against Mountshannon, with a lot at stake

**Ice-man** · 26/05/2010, 12:55 PM

Does everyone agree with having a play off in the league?

I think its ridiculous and should be scrapped, it just adds more games to an already long season. Mountshannon were in the same position last year & got well beat by the Rovers and I cant see them beating Lifford this year either imo.

PS: Burren are a disgrace and should be deducted 10pts for next year.
