Any bookmakers around town doing odds on the leagues?
Has their been any other transfer movements?
Going to watch Granville V Lifford tonight, have watched Lifford last week good side be a good test for Granville.

I think we(Lifford) are at home...

"We" you must of settled in nice and quickly out there, how come you left Shannon Town?
heard they signed a keeper that wont be at all the games due to work commitments... How was pre season? will Lifford be challenging come the end of the season?
Granville are supposed to have a nice side with a few new signings, should be a good test for both sides.

That keeper is probably me...I work days and evenings but can normally get a swap for matches so i don't think is should miss many...if any at all

Pre Season is good. Really enjoying it. As for how we will do...I have no idea..I have never played Clare league so have idea of the standard. But here's hoping!!

I thought Granville were alot better than last year especially first half. Will do well this season in 1A if they continue to play like that.

What was the score in Lifford lads .. Big surprise dines b beating A team

Lifford 1-0 Granville
No question about it we are a stronger team than we were 3 months ago. We are by no means the finished article, plenty of hard work to be done yet before we start the season Thursday night.
In terms of the game, it was hot and Lifford were a decent side. We made 9 changes at half time which was always going to make it more of a training session than a real match situation. But everyone got 45mins more football under their belt, and we could have had a few goals but for fine keeping(Lev), and the Russian linesman not giving a clear goal!

Even if I'm slighty biased..
Nice set up, and good bunch of lads Lifford. One lad in particular looked very skillful, young boy no.11. Not sure of his name, but a bag of tricks.

Friendlies Wanted
Granville Rangers A team, are after friendlies this Saturday and Monday evening, home or away. Anyone intrested let me know via P.M. before Friday evening. Cheers.

dirtfree why dont you ask why are shannon town losing alot of last years squad 3-4 players ?

**dirtfree** · 10/08/2012, 10:26 PM

Well I didn't feel the need to ask as I watched them play hibs last week in Wesley Webb .. IMO they have too young a team to challenge.. Looked like they have lost more than 3-4 from last year..

its kinda strange that none of the shannon teams can hold onto last years team and then add to it, in fairness in match above alot of young lads were given there chance to impress and the still have to add a few of last years team to the squad and another 1-2 possible ex players returning

I left and Darren Griffin went to Canada and Mark Mckee went to Olympic. I think thats all that is is gone from last years team from Shannon Town...
