Diarmuid in my opinion is a direct replacement for Malone in the middle , he lost his battle for 10 or 15 minutes in the first half against Malone but he definitely won the war over the 60 , connors has to be drafted in as shane o Donnells replacement for the league with Cooney interchanging ,

One player to look out for in the semi final too from the mills is colin crehan , similar hurler to Cooney with the same potential , maybe a bit early yet though

Do you have the team sheets for Cratloe/Sixmilebridge game?

Come on the fireballs.

Well the less said about those two games the better.
Not sure what happened is but we were absolutely brutal. Couldn’t do anything right. Kilmaley played very well. Lovely interplay between each other and the supply to the forwards was excellent.
Enright and o neill were good for them.

Inamona should have been well ahead at half time. Butchered 2 goal chances and then didn’t show up in the second half.

Deasy looked excellent again at this level. Would be interesting to see in his second year with the Clare seniors can he translate his good club form, because he looked short of intercounty standard last year.

On the weekends games I'd rank the teams Cratloe, Kilmaley, Ballyea and OCM in that order. Cratloe look in good position to win it out imo.

I am still not so sure about kilmaley , they were given the freedom of the park today , if you saw them against Clooney you would probably have them ranked 4th as they are still.unreliable , dispite losing to ballyea in round 2 I think cratloe are the best team remaining and should win it out

Jason McCarthy was deservedly sent off today and should have got the line in the first half for kicking out at Deasy while he was on the ground.

Interesting stats particularly Clooneys return from play.

I think all 4 games are well balanced, tough accum to pick!
I'll go Mills, Cratloe, Kilmaley & Ballyea

Maybe not that tough!!!
Kilmaley played very well in 1st half and the game was all but over at half time, 2nd half was a non-event. Eire Og were awful.
Ballyea deserving winners, despite missing key men they grinded it out. Combo very disappointing again.

Cratloe the team to beat but I dont think any of the other 3 teams will fear them. ?

Agreed, it was a cowardly act.

Agreed taught the ref was terrible in that game also , deasy getting a yellow was a laughable call too

kilkee beat liscannor by 0-13 to 0-9 yesterday , today kildysart beat coolmeen by 1-7 to 0-9 points

on the second game it was a re match from last week where a coolmeen player snapped his cruciate and was left lying on the field for 40 minutes , if clubs have money for stands , foodlights and whatever else the clubs hosting the games should have some vehicle available to bring injured patients to hospital

earlier this year a tipperary selector had to wait over an hour for an ambulance to get to ennis general , a 15 minute walk away , we all know the health service is in major ****e but clubs and the gaa in clare are doing nothing in this regard for player welfare every club should have a van/people carrier converted to carter for people that may fall ill at games or injured , it would cost a lot less then the running of floodlights or the building of stands and would get people to hospital a hell of a lot quicker then waiting an hour for an ambulance

windy shepard henderson

Intermediate championships as follows feakle are favorites after there extra time win over broadford , tubber did enough against inagh Ks second string , corofin are huge dark horses while the bridge and scarrif will meet again after a draw yesterday

Lets be realistic you cant expect clubs to have a vehicle at every match & training session for that purpose. The cost comparison with facilities is nonsense.

In your example of the Tipperary selector it was a head injury and as in the case of most serious injuries it's not just about transport but about having the medical expertise to move the person or not.

Feakle didn’t win against Broadford, draw AET, replay next week.

Yesterdays games on TG4 were a disgrace, imagine a player breaking a hurley off an opponents chest and that was not the worst of it.

If clubs have money for stands and floodlights why cant they afford transport ,It should become standerd practice in my opinion ,

Ah here, how is it feasible to have a vehicle suitable to transport a seriously injured person available at every ground? Lets pretend there's 20 grounds in Clare and every vehicle was to cost €25,000 to purchase, that's half a million just to have the vehicles sitting there. Then you have maintenance of the vehicles, lets pretend that's a €1,000 per annum, that's another 20 grand. The vehicle wouldn't be much use without tax and insurance, lets assume another €1,000 for that, another 20 grand. That's a cost of half a million setup cost and €40k per annum to maintain.

Season tickets are available today, anyone know the situation re the seated stand and these, will it be general admission or will a season ticket guarantee you a seat for all games?

i am not talking about brand new ambulances , the cars used by the paramedics and say shannon doc are converted people carriers , most large factories around the county have similar vehicles you are gone way over your head with estimations , surly there should be something in place for player welfare , the alternative at the moment is leave a player lying on the ground roaring his head off for 3 quarters of an hour is disgraceful

i am aware every club has trained first aiders and team doctors but what good are they if there is not evan basic method of transport to get an injured player to hospital as quickly as possible

not all games , say in the case for cusack park where there are only a few thousand seats you wont be guaranteed a seat but you will be guaranteed one in the bigger grounds like thurles croke park ,cork ect

you know what i am on about. the banner have a huge edge on teams in the county at the moment considering they are poaching players from kilkee ,and kilfenora and the like where there are already amalgamations in place and football teams in them areas

its no different in terms of the cathal malone situation in sixmilebridge , i dont believe it should be allowed happen

them 3 players are probably the best 3 forwards in the county and none of them are from anywhere near ennis ,

i wish ye the best of luck and hope ye do win the munster club championship and it is in no way sour grapes from a kilmihil person but when players leave there own club to play for a better team i am completely against it

€25k for a vehicle is the low end of an estimate. The facts are that some parts of Clare are extremely poorly serviced by the HSE and having ambulance cover for a county as large as ours based out of Limerick is a joke, a player with a Cruciate injury wouldn't be considered a priority patient so not only will they be waiting for an ambulance they'll be waiting in the hospital. Personally, I would have thought the easiest solution, especially for an adult game, would be for someone to drive the injured player to hospital/ShannonDoc

The Banner has done a great job of promoting ladies football and should be commended, the changing of the GAA rules a few years ago had nothing to do with Ladies Football, totally different organisations. Fergus Rovers and The Banner should be commended for the development work they have put in.

Ballyea v Mills
Cratloe v Kilmaley

Second game could be a cracker. Some very nifty players on both sides

Clareman

A Mills Kilmaley final would be great

Never heard of the Banner being an amalgamation, now that I think of it I can't think of any amalgamations in Clare, InaMona is 1 parish so it wouldn't be an amalgamation I guess.

Clareman

At senior level that is, loads at underage like Corofin/Ruan, Feakle/Killanena

Re The Banner, it looks like it was tongue in cheek RE the amount of players from outside Ennis that play with their ladies football. (I haven't a clue how true that is but that is probably what the poster was getting at)

Re InaMona, that is one club also. The decision was taken to join the old two clubs and make one club from the ground up. It would only be considered an amalgamation if Kilnamona or Inagh were still fielding teams on their own also.

There are no amalgamations at the minute at adult level in Clare hurling (not sure about football). Plenty at underage though

The 3 pictures on the main page sums it up for me, the Latest Fixtures has a fella who is out of the country, the Games Development has 2 old people wearing ~10 year old jersies and the Child Wellbeing has the Senior Team on it, FFS could they not have picked better pictures

Yup, don't worry about content, like the Gallery just has under 21 team FROM 5 YEARS AGO and senior quarter final pictures from years ago (Davy is still Manager in them).

I can imagine the meeting,
County Board: Right lads we need a new website
Webdesigner: OK, have you content/media/ideas
County Board: Ah j@ysus just get someone to do it on the cheap and just use old sh1t sure no-one cares anyway

Great win for Ennistymon against Eire Og

windy shepard henderson

looks like i put the hex on 3 of the teams i predicted to win over the weekend ,

Ennistymon had a brilliant win over the townies in the first of the 1/4 finals , 2 goals either side of half time by sean mcgonigley and ciann shannon were enough to see off Eire og in what was a really good game

Miltown took care of a lacklustre Clondegad side wining with 10 points to spare , Clondegad kicked over 10 wides over the hour only managing 8 scores , eoin cleary was excellent for the west clare side nearly matching his opponents score with 0-7 points

Scarriff progress to the intermediate semi final in hurling after beating the bridges second string in there replay this evening , while inaghk win the junior b hurling championship with a 2 point win over the banner
