Best of luck to all for the weekend trip to Donegal. From what i hear I think Brendan Rochford sustained a bad injury lately and wont be fit to play. I think its a good squad with a good mix of youth and experience though. Good luck;
hopefully corofin will be available by sunday. we will inform ye saturday regardless. the pitch in ruan is where avenue used to play a few years back if you remember? go straight thru ruan coming from ennis side and its outside the village about 1mile on right hand side, its on a bend you cant miss it.
have to say i wouldn't have either of the 2 bridge lads now in fairness, some surprising ommissions alrightnot a bad squad and best of luck to them saturday..
but saying that out of interest who picks the squad..i'm asking because there is a few lads not in squad that should be..and1 or 2 in my opinion that shouldn't be in it..
just wondering do ye think there is anyone not in squad that should be..
here's a few i taught of..
mickey mahoney(avenue) mike hoey(moher)trevor maxwell(bridge utd)g deegan(bridge utd) g flynn(avenue)d aherne(bridge cel)d cullinan(newmarket)jocks(rineanna)m devitt(bunratty)
maybe these lads were asked but couldn't commit but surely should have been asked..
Thanks Club-Divided.What happened to the other pitch in Corofin??Hacker would you not be disappointed Jay Hannam didnt get a call to d Oscar Traynors.He's good enough for it.
As far as I know Jim Madden picked the squad as no manager was in place early in the season. The managment have since added a few players.
Best of luck to them. Long trip to Donegal in fairness. Anyone know if its an overnight stay or up and down on Saturday.
was talking to jim a couple of weeks back and plan was to go up early saturday play game and stay overnight cant confirm if this is still the plan

This was the original plan.Its has since been changed to a day trip.The management dont want to stay overnight.was talking to jim a couple of weeks back and plan was to go up early saturday play game and stay overnight cant confirm if this is still the plan

Q - how can the "management team" leave out the likes of Pa Fahy / Eoin Hayes / Seamus Lawlor / Stephen Kelly / Ger O Connell / Roberto { lifford } Garoid O Connell - along with the others - what happened to the trials , fair chance to everyone - some clubs seem to get the extra players depending on who the manager is - i.e Bunratty 6 players ??
In saying the above I'm sure that the squad of players will give a good account of themselves - Best of luck lads
We just have to remember that they cant have everyone on the panel. We all have our opinions on who should and should not be on it. A lot of the lads you have mentioned have not played much soccer cos of hurling ect so far this season.
Nice to see a few new faces involved this year and a few of the younger players coming through as well. For years it was the same 15-16 lads no matter who was performing well.
In relation to Greg (31) and Maxi (29), they are still performing very well for us and I am sure they would hold there own at county level but I'm guessing if they haven't been called up before they are not going to get the call this year. Greg especially who has probably been one of the most consistent performers for Bridge and Newtown over the last 10-12 years but was never called up to OT.
Good luck to the lads on Saturday, strong squad who I'm sure will get us a result.
Are Brendan Rochford and David Russell not injured??

Ya best of luck, Donegal League will be no push overs. They will have alot of players from Redcastle on their squad and from experience Redcastle are a good footballing side with some very good players, they are very fit and will compete for every ball. Is a long haul (6 -7) hours so that will deff go against Clare. Pitch (if played in Redcastles place is great) so good for passing game.
If you're in the penalty area and don't know what to do with the ball, put it in the net and we'll discuss the options later
FORM IS TEMPORARY, CLASS IS PERMANENT
Surely the OT team isn't picked over the course of 2 months football - I'm sure the managment team who would be involved in their own teams don't get the full picture of what is available to them - there are players on the OT that can't even make their own club teams - is is a case of "just full-filling the fixture" or have they any inhabitions of seriously competing for a place outside the group stages ? -
we got the goal mouths and centre circle re-sodded about 2mths back and had to stay off it for about 6weeks but with all the recent rain we cant get it cut!! hoping to get it playable for sunday.
and we might even buy 1of ye're calenders after
booked as requsted by clare league officalshad to be the players choice

Donegal 1-1 Clare
Went 1-0 down on 60 minutes. Should have been a free out. Jimmy Houlihan equalised on 80 minutes with a great finish. Played really well and deserved to get a result.
Great result for Clare.What was the team yesterday?
