Clare League 2011/12

[Second]

Ha ha you must be related so.. Ya should be the closest season yet

[Planners]

Spoke to BD last week and he was keeping his hand close to chest - Lifford tend to start strong but for some reason fall away - alot of strong personalities in the club - hopefully BD can stick with it and they will be there abouts towards the business end -
Olympic have added a few but i cant see them making much of a difference - injuries and age will becaome a factor as the season goes on and hopefully thr squad is strong enough to deal with this
Our team should be very strong in the league and cups , but you never know , its early days and still player have to settle
the Rats / Hill could go on a run , hopefully the record they had lst year { the rats } wont be beaten

Avenue as usual will be up there -

Sincerely best of luck to all

Was at Newmarket and Mountshannon game. Newmarket looked to be down a good few starters but even so defended well against a strong breeeze and in the second half despite being without the likes of Eoin Hayes, Eoin O'Brien, Doca, Dathai, Stephan Kelly, Colin Ryan and a couple more. played some very good stuff in the second half. just a lapse in concentration cost them a clean sheet. Management hasnt been afraid to give new lads a go and try different things. Mountshannon may struggle but they only had 1 sub by the looks of it that is hardly their full team.

Have to say that I was impressed by Liffords spirit in this game having come down from been behind twice in the game to win the game while not been at there best too, it is a great character to have and will stand them well for the coming season when going gets tough...Also impressed that they scored 4 goals without there main goal threat Scott Hennessy which shows they do have goals all over the pitch in the side

Well done on a great job Donal

good one.
question for you afaik if you are signed schoolboy,you cannot play with your junior team in limerick.
anything like that in clare?
it's also a club rule(fairview) that no schoolboy can play two grades above his age group.
rightly so too...seen to many promising players suffer from playing too many games,and losing interest

To be honest, I don't actually know, I think we can, I think that Avenue United had a 15 year old play last year so I am assuming the rule in Clare is different.
Need to check that, imo if your good enough your old enough but I do get your point that young fellas need to keep the number of games they play in check.

i also think kids can lose the plot a bit and think their above playing underage,if they play at a higher level.
does not happen often...but it does happen.

A couple of weeks sitting on the sidelines usually sorts out most players be they young or old.

There was a meeting last night about the Bridge vs Bunratty/Cratloe game anyone hear the verdict ?

Have the Bridge taken any action towards there manager? Was he on the line the other night vs Avenue?

[Second]

You would think his own club would suspend him pending the hearing
