I do however agree with you about last years game in the bridge when you dominated and we stole the points.

sorry prem rep, i was actually at the b game against burren on the other pitch. i was only going by what one of the avenue players playing actually said. he lead me to belive it should have be 2 r 3 to avenue before ht and ye only had 3 good efforts and scored 2.
i only pointed out to him other games (that i was at) and the muppet agreed with me.

No prob Clifford, They should have been one up in the first 20 after their centre forward missed a straight forward header. They played 3 up front and which is unusual as they usually play 2 We had 4 at the back and we usually play 3 so it took 20 mins for us to settle. There keeper made a great save just after around 30 mins. Honers was there best player as he was all last year. A few of their big players went missing in the second half and the bridge took over in midfield. Bridge played some good football in the second half and seemed to be the hungrier.

Hey clifford were avenue b missing many (GAA). I thought that avenue b would be one of the favourites for the first division this year. But i suppose lees road wont suit them. Fairplay to the burren who bounced back from their thrashing the previous week, but with two men sent off it probably was'nt a fair repersentation.

**loose cannon** · 20/09/2005, 8:53 AM

Ah hacker i wasnt having a go at ye, cant argue with an emphatic victory like that. But maybe the scoreline flattered ye, not questioning the outcome. And showed some bouncebackability.
Looks like the first divison will be its usual dogged affair

avenue b are struggling to get 11 every week. always 3 r 4 away every second week. the only gaa players to sign are martin daly, paul madden, robbie malone, paudie carmody, brian o 'donnell. they will not be back till football/hurling is over and even then they want to be side players. it looks like cossie and peader macmahon will not be playing this year also. the b team are very much depended on jp mannix brendan o daly, fonz, micky byrnes, dermot daly and sca. they only had 11 players at kick off and 3 of those were drunk. the average age of the above is around 37 and they dont train. it was formed as a social aspect at first and because they are so competitive promoted up to first. week before season started we didn't know if we had team manager etc, but decided to try and stay in 1st till youths come through. so the aim of b team is to stay in first. (not that they wouldn't like to win it but realistically wont tip ollie)
b team r playing on fair della alpi. lees was a one off. (we played on small pitch) in fact clare league wont allow us believe it or not.
avenue should have got a draw at least in this game. watch out for burren (who are trying to get lees rd as there home venue)free kick specialist. you've been warned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

in fairness to jom he admited on ye're second half performance ye deserved to win. ye had more bite and wanted it more. (avenue back to there usual **** again then)

burren lads admitted they were not just beaten but out classed. (quoted)
i thought ollie were good enough to go up last year and i reckon they will win the division out this year.

not rumor at all. there is a severe shortage of refs, now underage games have started as well. they are looking at each club puting someone forward for the referees course (this weekend)
i dont think it will work at all. even underage. imagine no ref for avenue v newmarket, bridge and one from a side steps in. no matter how fair he does it there will always be some aspect picked up on and its a recipe for disaster. (ref'd a friendly comp u10's in newtowns ground and got abused {not by newtown before ye lynch me as wll} and i would consider myself very honest when it comes to this especially kids)

so is the premier officially suspended then? If so its a disaster for teams in national/provincial comps. From your post are you less honest with adults?? Dont give clifford a whistle for junior games!!!!!

hahah i'd be worth 3 pens a game lads. brown envolopes.
maybe the clare league should start looking at having just 3 divisions. any team that pulls out, suspend them or put them on a waiting list to get back in.
(how many teams are in 3rd division?)

**loose cannon** · 26/09/2005, 4:16 PM

Big game next sunday, the bunratty olympic derby. A lot of hype surrounds this tie, with both teams having robbed/swapped players over the years. Olympic have been improving every year but always come up short, and Bunratty tipped to go down by many now are in contention for the premier. I think i would have to go with Bunratty, but should be a fierce contest. Definetley one for the neutrals

**OpenGoal** · 03/10/2005, 6:24 AM

Olympic 3 - 0 Bunratty

Does not really matter what my opinion is really... It wont change the fact the better team on the day went through...

I'm not sure there was 3 goals between the teams but the better side went through.

**Prem Rep!** · 03/10/2005, 12:54 PM

There are a few missing results on the a2z website.
Can ye have a look and fill the gaps. Exclude the 3rd division as we are having trouble with the formatting at the moment.
Thanks
