Maybe with your detail on facts and Joe's ( Clare People ) writing skills ye could do a column. It would be accurate and articulate but sadly well off the mark for predictions.

Packie Ryan (Newmarket Celtic) passed away today following a long battle with illness.

I will remember him playing with Newmarket with much fondness.
May He Rest In Peace

R.I.P Packie. A gentleman on and off the field. Condolences to his family friends and everyone involved with Newmarket F.c.

R.I.P. Packie. A fantastic character who put everyone else first. Condolences to his family, friends and everyone involved with Newmarket F.C. & Newmarket GAA.

Much sympathy to the family of a gentle and quiet supporter of soccer, especially Lifford AFC, Mr. Martin Heaney. He will be sadly missed after 30 years involvement and with huge input into Cassidy's Park, again quietly. We often leave things too late to say them. A real bad week in Soccer for us all.

From Clare District Soccer League Website

Paddy Collins will be running a referee beginner course in Ennis on Friday night 8th May and Saturday 9th May.

This is the official FAI course and the cost per person is �50. Anyone interested please contact Oliver Fitzpatrick asap on 086-8455373

Now is our chance lads I think the inital outlay of �50 is not bad considering.

Time to put your money where your mouth is and give it a go !!! (not)

GOOD LUCK to newmarket FC sunday ye should come through this test easy enough wit home advantage and playing a div 2 team should be no problem for the raining prem champions and cup fav

thats not a bad lifford B team they should be first division bar all the points that were taken off them last season. still expect a newmarket win. wonder if newmarket see them as playing a lifford A team then i would be worried bout the outcome its like 2 different clubs. A team think is there right to walk all in front of them (donty know why) while the B team who hate the A team are a dogged hearty team with some quality footballers. its like 2 different clubs. infact i would like to see the winners of this one get liffordA at some stage??????

What ya think

What ya think

HATE is a strong word after all they are the 1 club ,from wat
i know there is alot of mates playin on both teams and a and b team players drink togethar,i pesume u meant a healty rivalery like all a and b teams ,if lifford b some how pulled of a result here i doubt they mind who they got

**AWOL** · 07/04/2009, 7:50 PM

Super psychology there on the B team and their hate of the A team in Lifford. Not true however. And don't forget the supreme A team haters are still in with a shout. I am sure the mighty Tage

would love a shot at the Lifford A team. Unless the Nanas take care of them. We will have to wait until the weekend results and see who draws who?

**Arivat** · 07/04/2009, 8:32 PM

There sure is a a lot of mind games going on here, good to see. Might catch Newmarket A out after what they did to Lifford A a few weeks ago.
But seriously Lifford B are a seriously good team, if Newmarket are any bit off their game they will be in trouble. Best of luck to both teams.

off course lifford b are'nt a bad team,they wud b in the quarter finals if they were they beat a good mountshannon team and beat them well to get there! i dont think afew comments will catch newmarket out
they'll do there talking on the field, maybe if FIRST plays for newmarket
lifford might have a chance he seems easily wound up wit some of his comments left on this forum, roll on sunday no more said

**AWOL** · 07/04/2009, 9:34 PM

Better warn Lifford B, Newmarket play as much of the game off the pitch as on. Last time they played the A's they turned up very close to kick off time and turned up ready!!!

**AWOL** · 07/04/2009, 11:11 PM

Isn't that what I meant by "ready" Hacker!!! Even the ref switched off 10mins before ye appeared. Done and dusted.

Heard Avenue were on their own this evening in Lee's Road????

**Prem Rep!** · 08/04/2009, 8:28 AM

How was Lee's Road unplayable last night with all the dry weather lately? Even our pitch was playable and we were one of the teams forced to concede home advantage earlier in season.

**Planners** · 08/04/2009, 8:50 AM

A stroke by Ave lastnight - heard Eire Og were training lastnight - was this the reason ? - Rineanna had everyone availble
Any comments from Avenue - this could have been easily been changed to Rineanna's pitch - Are they waiting for Rineanna to play the rats and then see what they have to do themselves ?

No I don't play for Newmarket , haven't in a long time , and yes you are correct I am easily wound up when it takes at least 3 efforts to decipher any post that comes from you lot in Ennis. You would think that with Ennis being the Broadband Town for the 21st century or some such title , that at least a few of ye would be able to master a keyboard.

As for the game on Sunday , yes like in any game where 2 teams are in direct opposition both teams have a chance . Though Lifford B's chances would hardly be on par with Newmarkets

. We'll see on Sunday , but I think I'll head off to the point to point , could be more interesting.

Have ye not played Avenue at home already? Why would ye play them at home again.

Its only our Premier Champions 07/08 that can play a team twice in the lg at home.
