agree davy wall was the difference. big noel didn't lose a header all game at the back also. oly keeper was in good form. newtown keeper that comes under fire saved newtown in et 2 good saves. i thought the ref was quiet good especially in et. for instance the penalty kick oly where looking for. he booked the oly player and gave a free out. right decision as well. he blew a couple of offsides which i thought were right (couldn't judge one that newtown where giving out about, but willing to give ref the nod as he didn't get much wrong in the game) newtown are away to nenagh celtic so could easily progress. it would be good for clare soccer if newtown and avenue could get to 1/4 and hopfully bridge cel can get there in fai as well.Originally Posted by OpenGoal
ps why wasn't the man joey starting??????????
The above is all opinion and based on personal experience. Unless stated otherwise it is not a dig at anybody, well probably none of you lot.
I agree , it was never going to be a classic..too much at stake. Both sides were cagey. Set pieces from both sides were the main threat. Some good battles around the pitch. Fairly even overall but Newtown had a bit more possession & a few more chances. It was tight but the result was just about right.
you are only a loser when you stop trying. Playing sport does not build character, it reveals it.
Joey was just back from a back injury, hadnt trained for 2-3 weeks so he started on the bench.
Had to be a penalty for olympic that time!!! (or at least an oscar :-) )
Yeah, Newtown just about desereved it. The more experienced lads showed great heart. Agree donellan very strong in the air all day. pity the game never got going from a footballing perspective but you get that in cup derbies!
This might be a stupid question but has there ever been a clare team in the munster senior league?
If so,who?
If not,why?
Sure it was a grand ole team to play for....Sure it was a grand ole team to know..
Hail Hail!!
no there never ever was a clare team in the munster senior. i know avenue were invited to join the connaught senior league years back and accepted but were turned down when they applied. where told to join munster senior but wasn't viable travel wise. most games were cork and further where as galway area would have been majority of other games.
while on the subject whats the thought of a clare u21 team. i think we could do like kerry, pull from all teams. play in digi. who knows it could be the start of a league of ireland team setting up in clare in ther future?????????????? also could be a shop window for promising under age to get spotted by bigger clubs?????

word has it davy wall is heading back to limerick pike
He only transferred to Newtown a few weeks back so what can have happened that's making him leave?????
I seriously doubt he is going anywhere....
Maybe he realised how bad Newtown are.I heard they were a joke against a poor Newmarket team that kicked them off the stubble field??The old boys are fat,on the **** and only good enough for the B team while the young guys
suffer from noheart disease????
your knowledge of local football & particularly Newtown astounds me. Ever think of writing articles and match reports for any papers??
you are only a loser when you stop trying. Playing sport does not build character, it reveals it.
So is it true,is he going and was what I heard about the Newmarket match RIGHT????
