Clare League Season 2008/09

**out red** · 04/09/2008, 11:40 AM

lads just wondering have lifford not entered the fai again this year? personally think they would have a great chance of going a long way. i really think one of the clare teams is going to have a good run in this, some tough draws for desmond and kerry sides against each other. as for us looking forward to playing in tulla.

also i'm certain that there was handshakes from all players after the game.... win lose r draw the lifford lads would be 1st to offer the hand!

Plastic,TBH Newmarket had to win that game you are talking about because they were fighting Relegation. Most players shake the hand of the apponent so they can really be applauded for that, and would the horn be blowing if they drew or lost the game, don't think so.

fair point... but maybe it was some over enthusiastic parents or supporters and not the players that were doing the horn blowing.... but as i wasn't there i am speculating!!

im fairly sure my memory is serving me correctly here and that i heard at some stage that lifford boycott all fai cups for sum reason dont know why. they havent entered the fai u17, youths or junior in last few years but have entered munster youths and junior

No interest in the lower divisions (2nd, 3rd) here I suppose ?

**lankyboy26** · 07/09/2008, 12:47 AM

i doubt the clare teams will do much in the fai this year. for example, bunratty lost to a limerick 2A side, athlunkard villa, in bunratty, in pre-season 4-2. could've been more. i here lifford are handy though

**Greaves** · 07/09/2008, 1:10 PM

Exactly, a pre-season game of no importance. I would predict a different score if it was a competitive game.

**lankyboy26** · 07/09/2008, 1:43 PM

typical clare response! always makin excuses when ye lose, can ye ever accept defeat???!!!

bad start to the season for last years champions, two defeats out of 3 now for newmarket after yesterdays game, is it too early to write them off holding onto their trophy?

Yes, way too early. a few new additions i hear, so write them off at your peril, at your peril i say.

Anyone know if tonights games have been called off yet? No update on claresoccer.com but I can't see too many going ahead with the weather we're having today.

Corofin vs Burren off and I assume all games will be called off.

And More Rain For Tomorrow

**Prem Rep!** · 09/09/2008, 2:52 PM

Prem: Bridge Celtic v Bridge United off
Youths: Olympic V Bridge United off

Can't understand why games could not have been called off after last nights rain. Limerick games called off first thing this morning.
