OneNightOnly what club are you involved with?
A vote is allocated for each team a clubs enters in the CDSLOriginally Posted by First
For example
Ennis Town entered an A team, a B team, an U17a and an u17b team.
This entitles them to 4 votes.
Lifford and Manus were denied a vote due to outstanding registration monies owes to the league.
Burren Utd Ennis Town and Rhine Rovers all voted against the league starting early.
Not sure on Hermitage Tulla or Connolly

I'm not involved in a club in Clare but am a Clare man living in Ennis, I'd have a strong interest in all levels of football especially my own county
All clubs get to vote on all motions whether there directly effected or not
A bit unfair in my opinion
Not all clubs spoke on the matter
Some clubs are more vocal than others as you can imagine
Nonsense. If you had you wouldn't be touting less clubs and favouring certain clubs wanting to exclude players.
I'll update this next year.
Never mentioned excluding players in any of my posts.
I do think there are too many clubs in Clare . I'd have quality over quantity any day
Are you happy with how football in Clare is run??
Less clubs by definition means less players, you want less clubs, so you want less players or in your Utopia are you looking for these players to move to other clubs maintaining the number of teams just less clubs?
As for happy about how things are going, yes and no.
I'll update this next year.
I think we should regionalise the clubs and pool the resources, coaches, money and facilities. It would take time to bear fruit but we can't expect to develop young players in the current environment that's in place at the moment.
I think it's vital to the progression of Clare football that Lough Derg, Shannon hibs and Shannon town join the Clare league.
Lifford are in trouble with money
Bridge have poor facilities
Corofin and Mountshannon have atrocious pitches
Ennis town have no facilities whatsoever
burren. rhine rovers and ennis town rock have more gaa players than newmarket so why single out 2 clubs when in fact 5 had gaa players
The league cup needs to be scrapped at the start of the year and thats a simple fact lads. Play it on thurs nights in Doora from now on like Limerick system. If teams go far in national competitions they get punished later on in the year with the amount of league games they have left to played. Soccer is a squad game and players will be missing for different reasons. Most Limerick teams had ten league games played and Clare teams had none by the time OT Lim v Clare was played. There are plenty of GAA players playing soccer in Limerick, Pike have a few and still top of the league. To not start a league based on the fact GAA players wont be available is a joke. Thats like telling fixtures sec I cant play this week cause I am missing my three best players.
Astro Lees Road: Avenue United A V Corofin Harps A
R.Hennessey 10.45
Lees Road: Ennis Town A P-P Connolly Celtic A
M.O`Brien
What is the story here? I thought the Astro was to be used by clubs playing out of Lee's Road if the grass pitches are not playable.
I'll update this next year.
Avenue need to catch up on games so they were due to play. Makes no odds anyway. Avenue got a walkover.
A bloody walkover in febuary.. what the hell is wrong with lads
Wonder what sort of a tall tale will corofin come up with for this one ?
The last thing we wanted was a walkover. Its games we want to play. To answer your question first last year a rule was brought in that no team in the premier would be more than 3 games behind, a rule that has not been followed, now you only have to look at the league table to see why that game was given preferrence.
Well done newmarket on reaching last 8 of munster with a 1-0 win today. Hard luck ennistymon, always gonna be tough against a very good geraldines side.
Mastermind ... what reason did corofin give for walkover ... crazy situation Avenue find themselves now having to play catch-up in league so much for rules then ?
great to see a clare team progressing in munster and hard luck to ennistymon against a strong geraldines
" football is a simple game "
I ve no idea what excuse they gave as they didnt have the decency to ring anyone and tell us they werent showing up. Very unfair on everyone that showed up to lees road expecting the game today and especially the ref who had to travel from limerick for it.
Newmarket played well today and should have won by 5 or 6 goals if they had taken their chances. A very comfortable win even if the scoreline was only 1-0.
I don't think this is as staright forward as Corofin just giving a walkover. My understanding of the directive was that clubs playing out of Lee's Road and the Fairgreen were to play their games on the astro if the grass pitches were unplayable. Now as far as I am aware neither Avenue or Corofin play out of Lee's Road so how does their game fall under this directive.
I would assume that Corofin would have to have agreed to play on the Astro, which I am led to beleive they didn't.
Clearly stated on this week's and every other week's fixtures:
Note: If Council grass pitches are unplayable Lees Road/Fairgreen games automatically transfer to Astro pitch lees road.

Thats fair enough first but surely if avenue said they had an alternative pitch to play on and enough notice was given then match should have went ahead.
