Any forecasts on Avenue v Newtown???
well interested i suppose you could say that i was only counting premier and cup. also i dont think that corofin have won any major honours in GAA.u-15 c hurling championships dont count.Originally Posted by Interested
the point i was trying to make that it was such a big deal in the VILLAGE that they would fight to the bitter end to hold onto their title. if you have been offended by my compliment to the corofin team then maybe i should just slag them instead
newtown layed very well last weekend and if they can keep that form they will be tough to beat. they gave us a good game in the lees road at the start of the season and were unlucky to lose.
suppose avenue will be looking to bounce back from the defeat in cork. they have played a lot of games recently and maybe they could be getting a bit tired.
time to sit on the fence : DRAW
you're really playing it safe here!!!Newtown, I believe, have a full team back so I should say they will loose but I wont I will hex them and say 2-1 to Newtown!!!!!!newtown layed very well last weekend and if they can keep that form they will be tough to beat. they gave us a good game in the lees road at the start of the season and were unlucky to lose.

No offence taken with the compliment. I was just trying to point out that the Clare League is not just confined to the Premier League and the Clare Cup. There are other smaller prizes on offer to the lesser teams in the League and I have no doubt that any team winning the 3rd Division Shield would celebrate as good as if not better than one of the usual Title Winners. For the record I don't think the VILLAGE have won any honours at Rugby, Cricket or Tiddlywinks either.well interested i suppose you could say that i was only counting premier and cup. also i dont think that corofin have won any major honours in GAA.u-15 c hurling championships dont count.
manalishi ...
lifford have drawn & now lost their last couple of games
1 to newmarket who were bottom of league & the other to a understrength terrible team in crisis newton !! and finally dont't forget who bottled the league last year ... so newtown may not be the only team here with no balls !!!
Last Year Avenue were in a very similar position and impressively went on to win their last six games to claim the title. The question is can they do the same this year? I really think that the first goal in this game will be crucial as both sides are capable of dominating a game once the tails are up. However on the flip side Newtown especially have shown this year that when they win they win comfortably but when they lose they also concede quiet a few.
Newtown need to score first to win but I think Avenue will be well up for this and may be too strong. Avenue to win 1-0.
beig honest i dont know how Avenue have been playing recently but Newtown have been performing well in the league, highlighted by the excellent performance and result at home to Lifford last week. im going to say a Newtown win
yeah the waether has been terrible over the last few days but the lees road pitches hold up well????
Great assessment Prem Rep but hopefully the Shannon boys will score first and then Avenue get an attack of lifforditis!!!!Or could it be called lion(see liffords crest) flu in these days.
Thats certainly what we will be hoping for. Not looking good weatherwise at the moment. Lets hope the fixtures are given a chance to go ahead with referee's inspections on Sunday.
No word on games yet but I think they will go ahead....
It will prob be called off tough cos of the weather
cousin, have you heard anything??
I'm away till next Tues lads so I hope ye dont miss me too much.
Prem Rep is well informed on goings on so he might let ye know if anything changes re games...
He might post the results and fixtures Monday also if he gets a chance.
ps I think Avenue Newtown will be a score draw...
no worries interested!! i know what your saying!!! anyway welcome to the thread. do ya think corofin can keep up their recent good form this weekend??
really think that they could be promoted this year. olympic might do their usual and fade away towards the end of the year. i'm sure their slip up against rock last weekend has given teams a wake up call that the league is still there to be won
careful im going to sneeze
nice one shelbourne lol
I am not that well up to date with the current form of Corofin. They do however usually come good towards the end of a Season, which would seem to be the opposite to Shannon Olympic. I have watched Olympic a couple of times this year and still think in my opinion that they have one of the strongest midfields in Clare football. John Ryan has made a huge differance to them and I can't honestly see them fading out of it like they did last year. Last weekends result might only have been a blip.no worries interested!! i know what your saying!!! anyway welcome to the thread. do ya think corofin can keep up their recent good form this weekend??

As for your own Club. Any time I have seen you playing or should that say not playing, the opposition on both occasions Mountshannon (home) and Newmarket (away) both oposition teams seemed to want the points more, the battling qualities needed for such games was sadly lacking. But to be honest you are not sitting on top of the league for nothing so maybe I just picked the wrong games to go to. Yourselves and Avenue should be a cracker
Just to add to interested and plasticpitch discussion,think moher and olympic will go up,but will have to fight it out to see who wins the league,olympic tend to drop points towards end of season.have to see can they do it this season.As for 3rd spot there is a range of teams will go for it.Kilmaley,Connolly,Burren,Rock and Corofin will be battling for it.Corofin on a good run after xmas and taking points,lots of teams taking points off each other,

yeah we performed a lot better at the start of the season won 7 drew 1 lost 1. our form has dipped a lot and i dont know if we can get back to winning ways this sunday. But yes you are right m'snn and newmarket were definetly up for the those games you were at. going on that form i think bunratty and cratloe will be relegated this year. i know it might upset some people on this thread but as ye all know 'pitch is not always right
Look at the table - we are still on top and still in our own hands.
You seem to be doing a lot of talking about other teams yourself.
We will answer ye on the pitch.
