If there is anything to report from that i will post it here.

I do know that Jim Madden has outlined some kind of development plan for the clubs to try & progress with facilities etc. It includes going on football administration courses etc. As far as I know this will be one of the main topics up for discussion. The other topics will probably have something to do with the number of clubs dropping out of the league & summer soccer.

I also know that the league is distraught that so many of Clare's best players are going into the LDMC to play their footie nowdays. But sur in all honesty who can blame them.

As far as I can see doing so well in the Oscar traynor over the last few years has only attracted the Limerick clubs to Clare's best players & has had a detrimental effect on the quality of the league.

Agreed!!!!!

Olympic A Beat Tulla A 1-0 in Shannon last night in a game that Olympic should have had more than one goal but a win is a win, not a bad result with a few of the first 11 missing, they had to sit it out through injury or flu lads that took their place played very well and Colly cap a good game with the winning goal, Tulla battled hard and at 1-0 always had a chance of a draw but in the end Olympic held out for the 3 points,

Good win well done, sets up Sunday just nicely, you could relegate Bunratty if you beat them and they do not beat Bridge Celtic, could be a fiery encounter certainly worth a visit after our game.

Yip good win, i dont think Sundays game will be anything other than a good game of football because even with the crap on the site at the end of the day we all know each other and see the funny side of it,as for what would happen if we win or bunnraty win well i think you would have to look at the whole season not just one game if they go down its not because of us and if we get 3 points they thats all it is,but we wont take it for granted and will fight as hard as we did last night to get the 3 points...but i will say people like D Jones dont deserve to go down when you see the work he puts in at the club

AGREED! You could not meet a nicer fella, heart as big as a bucket and totally committed to Bunratty, they should give him the A team Job, these are the fellows that Clubs should be looking after!

j&j were well marshalled by the avenue defence. they were impressed with the no10. they were getting a bit frustrated because sometimes midfield took the wrong option. ie in the second half 3 good runs down the left saw the ball whipped over to the avenue left back. i also think if olympic had been playing any other of the six teams (except maybe corofin ???) in the cup they would have won. that was a cracking display by avenue midfield so its says a lot for olympic, but do they play or can they play like that in league games????

ahhh come on clifford... you can't mean that..... have to say that ye were warned about ave b been a strong cup side..... must say that the cup is bridge und's to lose now.... they ARE the best team left bar none..... anybody disagrees the premier table proves the point

It does not matter they are out and Avenue B are in! It is like saying that if Chelsea had beaten Newcastle they would win the Cup!

would have been shouting for avenue b, been from ennis and all. have seen most sides in all the divisions play in the last two years and olympic are good footballing side. i'd say moher will have something to say about that and if not avenue b will rattle them. yes league dosen't lie but cup is different its a one off on the day.

**plasticpitch** · 13/04/2005, 1:16 PM

clifford...if moher beat bridge i would definetly fancy moher to beat ave b! moher are a good strong side and in fairness i think there are worse teams than them in the premier

**plasticpitch** · 13/04/2005, 1:42 PM

suppose the ave match v bunratty will be called off again.... sur its raining!!

true fav's have to be team from bridge/moher game. before 1/4's fav's would have been avenue a newmarket and bridge. two of those gone now. the majority on this site thought olympic would beat avenue b. i would rate olympic just as good if not better than moher and corofin. they would also rattle bridge. in one off games who knows. does anyone know when the semi's are going to be played?????? draw is on monday night.

**plasticpitch** · 13/04/2005, 3:06 PM

very true handyman... but unlike a lot of teams moher were missing some of their more influental players for most of the season due to other sports..... thats the reason why i said that there are worse teams but i accept that they probably will be relegated.....

Havent Newtown beaten them 3 times this season...??twice in the shield and once in the league?Does that not make them a better team no?

**plasticpitch** · 13/04/2005, 3:40 PM

agreed ....newtown beat them 3 times fair enough but... in fairness their pitch is shocking...its twice as wide as most pitches which doesnt really help their cause..... and just an example jonnie daly has missed most of their season ...he would be a loss to any side and i'd say that newtown and every other team were delighted not to see him tog out with moher
