club hurling championship didn't disappoint today , not many surprises but plenty of gauntlets thrown down , inagh were impressive v tulla , the bridge with cathal malone auditioning as new clare full forward blew clarecastle out of the water ,
feakle got the win they wanted to stay alive for another season , townies are back is the battle cry around ennis tonight after david reidys last minute point spared the game from a penalty shoot out
ballyea and clooney Q played out a highly entertaining game tonight in the park the battle between niall deasy v peter duggan did not disappoint it finished deasy 1-13 three meter peter 2-14 some scoring by both men and roughly 60% of scores only from frees
cratloe were sweating at half time having conceded 4-05 to whitegate but steadied the ship in the second half , anyone know why we have a player as talented as billy connors in the county and not using him as a regular for clare please fill in the gaps , probably the best hurler in the county at the moment
big win for clonlara in a game they would have lost on many occasions at this stage of the championship over the last few years , odheran o'dwyer was trainer for the mills last year he is with the kilmihil footballers this year i feel he is going to be the difference this year for the mills a huge loss as trainer had the mills flying last year
relegation looks to be between the magpies , tulla , whitegate , and possibly wolfe tones if they lose tomorrow momentum sinks in shannon fairly fast and given they are missing a few i cant see much light for them this year
as for the cannon race , it looks like ballyea , cratloe , inagh and sixmilebridge will be chased by eire og , kilmaley and clonlara for the 2019 title

feeble effort from wolfe tones in the park today relegation candidates this year struggling to hang on to there main players who all seemed to have holidays booked around the start of the championship
crusheen will be solid in the championship ,will go far but still a bit to go to beat the likes of the bridge , ballyea or cratloe
shaky start to the intermediate hurling championship for corofin , the opposite to be said for the killaloe men who had an excellent win over the bridge's 2nd team
barefield not really showing there hand just yet , expect better from them in the coming weeks , while tubber scariff and parteen let there intentions known over the weekend , broadford will most likely be too strong for ruan tomorrow they too will have a huge say in how the second tier of clare hurling pans out
intermediate championship

Was at the Park yesterday. The Bridge did the business against Clarecastle. CC are going to be in trouble this year I think, they are a poor side. No Bobby Duggan either and they struggled on frees. The Bridge mixed up the Davy style short game well with going direct into Malone. It will be interesting to see how Malone goes up top, I think he could be very effective with his size. The Bridge will be thereabouts this year Jamie Shanahan came on for them too, he is a top class club hurler.
Ballyea CQ was a good game of hurling. CQ really put it up to Ballyea for most of it, their backs were very sticky/plucky while Duggan carried the load up front. But the reality is they were completely reliant on him for scores. Duggan scored an outragous goal in the 2nd half. Ballyea should be thereabouts, they too are very reliant on Kelly and Deasy for scores. Kelly is Kelly but Deasy is a very hard player to counteract at club level with his size. In thinking about him struggling to break into the Clare seniors, I understand why to try to play him wing forward to win ball. But really for me he is an out and out full forward, I would like to see him tried there for Clare next year. But he was again very good for Ballyea yesterday. Ballyea are a gutsy team, they will be hard to beat this year.
deasy felt hard done by the conditions of the two games he played in the league ,its hard to blame him too , the first was against tipperary in a monsoon in thurles the other was in the snow against limerick
i appreciate he might not be the best hurler in open play at intercounty level but in truth he needs and deserves more game time in the league , kilkennys top scorer in the league was kevin kelly , the only championship game he played this year to the best of my knowledge was against carlow
the fact is he is an excellent free taker and ready to step in if tj gets a knock , we really need a decent free taker duggan is brilliant to be fair but the pressure gets to him at times , his style is a little awkward also
speaking of full forwards we could be blessed with full forward men next year if cathal malone's new role works out
the championship has started much brighter then last year it has to be said , clooney will be a real handful if they can get killian duggan back ,and free up a role for ryan taylor other then peter duggan and mike corry there scoring options are limited , playing bruiser at full back will end in tears also0 -

Lynch did well on Deasy on Saturday night ,what did he score from play btw? Duggan is one of the best forwards in the country, his goal and one of his points in the first half were unreal. Kelly's goal was spectacular too but he didn't motor at all until extra time.
Ballyea are a bit limited in places, would be surprised to see them win this year. Clooney pushed them all the way, if only they had another forward they would have won.0 -
