just up on the website this evening that Burren United got it

Don't see how they should have got it at all, They won, lost and drew their last three league games which you could hardly call a great run-in and beat a poor Newtown team 1-0 in the Area Cup.

Ironic that only one of the four league champions won a team of the month award,
Rhine Rovers, correct me if i'm wrong but I know Bridge A or B did not win it!

Surely this is a joke? Rock maybe but the burren this is shocking. No disrespect to the burren. Newmarket will just have to win the FAI and Munster Junior next year and maybe just maybe they might be considered!

Well lads i was supposed to write this a few weeks ago but forgot and only thought of it to-day.it goes back to this years cup final and the presentation afterwards to the teams.Maybe it's just me but did anybody who was there notice how it was handled. I dont want to name names but the Clare league official who was calling out the names of the teams was dressed like he had just come from the mart!!! only thing missing was the stick..... While they were calling out the names he was asking the other fellow beside him " whats this name and whats that name" while the mike was on... My problem is that surely to god they should have to wear the official uniform of the Clare league and be prepared with the names of the teams it"s the only game of the season where they have to do this!!! Try and be as professional as they can for that one day... They want people to see that the Clare league is up there with the best, but surely on the biggest day of the year they could be prepared and do things right.It may just be a small thing but it really annoys me it has the attitude of sure lets just get things over and done with

this is standard practice in clare for any cup final

.. would make more sense to let the captains to call out players names.

i totally agree with you ... i have seen clare league officals in the past take the cup out of plastic bag just before it is presented to winning team..

personally i think they should have a roped of area set aside before match with cup & medals on show and were both teams then go to accept cup & medals and as you said at least the league should make some attempt to dress up for the occasion .
