There was unquestionably tough tackles from both sides but that was always expected in a town derby. However, some of what was said and done has no place in life never mind sport. If what happened after the final whistle had happened last night in town there would rightly have been an arrest. I wish I was surprised but I'm not
Seemed to be lots of verbals and pushing n pulling between players subs and managers of both sides
If it was 10 years ago I would have been playing. NI was standing behind the dug outs and the verbals from everyone , management supporters and players left a lot to be desired. Didn't go on the pitch after so you can ask the players or who ever went on it to see what happened. Have heard a few different stories. As have lots of people.
will i just repeat my previous post so
Went to my first Clare premier game tonight in Newmarket, great playing surface.
Newmarket played good football although Mountshannon were'nt up to premier level are all. Stephen Kelly scored from a set piece after 7 minutes. I have to say the 2 in midfield for Newmarket were excellent (Michael Crosby i think it was and Eoin Hayes).
Even as a limerick soccer man i think Hayes would would get on any junior team at the highest standard in my opinion, every bit as good as the lads playing for the big teams in town.
Though Newmarket should have won 10-0 it was only 1-0 when I left with 2 minutes to go.
Will go to a few more Clare games I think, standard was better than I expected.
Hayes is a fantastic player, clubs in limerick would do very well to get him. I m not sure if he would go in but I d love to see him give it a go
Eoin Hayes is the standout player in Clare right now. Between Hayes and Stephen Kelly Newmarket have two of the best players around. There is no doubt that they would make it in Limerick as would numerous other Clare players. Will Newmarket lose a few lads to hurling now? Dont know how the Senior Hurling is set up?
You cant compare Darren Murphy and Eoin Hayes. 2 completely different players
Hayes is quality
Kelly effective at what he does. Would be lost in the top teams in limerick
Murphy excellent young defender bit too quiet is all
Hayes is quality.
Kelly effective at what he does but wouldn't cut it at too teams in better leagues.
Murphy an excellent young defender. Bit quiet though
Hayes is the best by a mile eoin o brien is a close second
David reidy is some loss.. prob the best player on the OT last year.. defenders nightmare!!
Don't know about you lads but if i could pick just one player from the cdsl for my club , that guy would have to be David McCarthy, all the lads mentioned above are serious players as well mind you !
Good to read positive talk about the league..
