Website is wrong!!!!!!!!
Ok, calm down, I suspected as much. It is strange that the home side would give a walkover. Anyone know why?
Calling on Tulla B. If he logs on again he should know !!!
Makes alot more sense that way around. I was wondering cause Kilkee have a good shot at winning Div 3 so giving teams walkovers wouldn't be the best way to go about it.
Saying that Avenue B gave Tulla B a walkover last year & still p1ssed Div 3.
Who do you think will win the cup this year...any dark horse in your opinion
I think the winner will come from Newmarket A, Avenue A or Bridge Utd A...
Dark horses could be Avenue B, Specials A or Bridge Celtic.
(It all seems a bit predictable really)
Whats the story with Avenue B are they made up of a good bunch of young fellas not ready for the A team yet or is it the other way round alot of older players who can play ball but cant give the time an A team player has to...
When we played them last year it was made up of their old A team. Older guys who used to play with the A team and allegedly had a falling out.
Not too sure of the rule on walkovers but maybe the team who gives the walkover should be docked 3 points ..they may already be,does anybody know what happens in such cases
Avenue B will be a good side. How about Bridge B? Anyone know anything about them.............lets hope Olympic can get over their injury crisis quickly
A team that gives a walkover like that is docked 3 points. This is to discourage teams from doing so and in the Clare Youths league, Turnpike giving a walkover to Bunratty has knocked them out of contention (they lost a possible 6 points ... 3 if they had won the game and 3 docked).
we asked the clare league over a month ago for a free weekend, it was our first time since we formed that we looked for a free weekend and it wasn,t given to us. it seems like the bigger clubs can do whatever they like, but the samller clubs can,t. for instance newmarket celtic were giving a free week last week becuase one of the players sister had her 21st!!!. any other club notice this inequality.
p.s. syl you did,nt answer my question?
To be honest, no I haven't noticed this. Several times in the past we've asked for weekends off and provided we gave enough notice we were successful in doing so. And I wouldn't classify us as one of the bigger clubs.
No I've never had this problem either & we are a very small club. As long as you send Mike Lydon a letter requesting a free weekend at least 2 weeks in advance of the game then there is not a problem. Did your secretary actually do that or did ye just ring him cause if you only rang you haven't got a leg to stand on. In fairness to Lydon whatever about the restof them he's a sound man & will always help out in any way he can.
I couldn't agree more about Mike Lydon. If you're any way reasonable with him he'll help in any way you can. He probably has the toughest job in the Clare league and juggling all those fixtures can't be an easy task. However, as is stated in the Champion every week, you need to give two weeks written notice if you want a free weekend. If your club has done this, then you have a good case for appealing the walkover. Check with your club secretary to see if the notice was given.
Have to agree too, he has always been fair to us when requesting weeks off.
Massive week of fooball in the 1st division. Olympic playing the two teams above them in the league, Rock and Mountshannon. Havent played mountshannon yet, but expecting them to be strong. We should be back to near full strength for this match so may be three points there for us. Having drawn with Rock away earlier in the season we will also hope to take the points there. 3 massive games for Bridge Celtic. Rock, Mountshannon & Tulla. This really is the biggest week of the season so far. By next sunday, the league table could look a whole lot different........
Yip its a big week in Div 1 some one has to fall by the wayside i think Rock and Mountshannon need good results to keep the distance between them and the teams with games in hand over them .
Any results from yesterday? Very quiet this morning!!
Ya we slipped up lost 2-1 at home to Mountshannon but that game is gone now 3 points lost just have get over it and move on to the next game
I won't say I said so but it looks like you are in trouble!
