yeah not the highest in quality at times but a very exciting game none the less , kildysart have improved ten fold all year and with a number of good minors to come through they look like they are going the right way

kilfenora had the chances to win it at times , a number of attacks in side the kildysart 21 could easily have been converted to goals while killian malone had a mixed day with the frees missing a 13meter free at a time in the second half when it looked like they would pull away , cian o'dea took the free kick duties of his handsfor the final kick but it dropped short . keith o'connor was probably the best player on the field and after today's showing they could very well prove too much for kilfenora the next day out

st Breckans won the Senior B championship beating o'currys 2-16 to -2-07 in miltown while nomih eoin , michael cusacks and meelick are through to the junior championship semi finals they will be joined by kilimor or kib's 2nd team who play tomorrow

When are Kilfenora and Kildysart to replay?

Think Kilfenora have every chance to edge it.

I thought Kilmaley were strong favourites for the title, nice to see Clarecastle win an A title it's been a while since they've won 1 I think

Heard a very strong rumour from a usually reliable source that Moloney and O'Connor are interested in the big job in a joint capacity.

it really is long over due in terms of success for clarecastle ,hard to believe we are saying "its nice to see them win somthing" when there was a time they would lose nothing the game today didnt have the same high level of fire works as other years although it did threaten with both teams getting a man sent off , lee brack was outstanding with seven or 8 scores , aidan keneady was kilmaley's main threat and looks a serious prospect why these guys found it so hard to make the minor team this year is beyond me

that said with the outgoing management at minor level likely to step down , and with the expected appointment ( should they take it) of donal moloney and gerry o connor , it would leave the board with a serious headache of appointing a minor , u21 , intermediate and senior manager , very important we get the underage selections right too , we have plenty coming through we just need the right leadership or we could lose some serious talent , maybe not on the same scale as other years but there are some fairly descent lads coming through

they do but you would just worry about the amount of missed chances they had today , they were massive favorites today and looked flat at times they were well beaten in and around midfield where they were expected to be strong

not sure about the date of the replay most likley next week , on account of the county final the following week , i also said killian malone didnt have his best game ....... he scored 8 out of kilfenora's 10 points... bad analysis on my part

Kilmurrys second team will win the junior. I played against them a few times this year and they are a serious outfit, played all the other teams listed bar meelick aswell and don't think any of them will come close to kilmurry.

was going to stick my neck out for cusacks after the big win they had over cooraclare , but Kilmurry are starting to look strong again so i am not surprised to hear there 2nd team are strong

Unless they lose a few to senior in the meantime but you'd know they had being training with a senior team all year, young team too and well drilled. I don't think Cusacks are good enough to win it.

Naomh Eoin have 2, 3 lads home from abroad. Expect them to be in the mix

Kilfenora had great chance to kill game at the end when point up. Should have taken point instead of goal

They're not a bad team but I still think Kilmurry would beat them with a bit to spare.

i still think the 2nd team in junior and intermeadite level can be a hindrance , last year eire og 2nd team beat naomh eoin in a relegation play/off ,yet eire og did not participate at that level this year due to unpaid club registrations , while they might be strong now whats to say kilmurry dont do something similar down the line , it is rare a 1st team would be left in the same situation for the strength of the intermediate championship i would prefer a 1st team to go up

Agreed.

Miltown leading Cratloe 4:01-0:06 at half time and have the breeze to come in the second half. Wasn't expecting a score line like that!

Comeback of the year there from Cratloe to bring it to extra time!

And Cratloe win after et, 2:15-4:5.

LuckyGent88

What a win for cratloe. Some club

Noveight

Clare and Kildare ladies tied at 1-07 each at half time. Some very poor wides from us.

Completely dominating but not taking our chances.

LuckyGent88

Ladies completely deserved to loose. Absolutely no composure in front of goal at all. About 16 wides, 2 or 3 clear goal opportunities missed and a terrible penalty.

Noveight

Kildare by 1. Wides cost us, O'Dea should have taken that penalty I think.

very disappointed for the girls but they pretty much dominated that game without taking there chances and thats what cost them in the end , the kildare goalkeeper pulled of a number of serious saves , the way the game was developing had one of them gone in then the girls would have pulled away they have a young panel so they will be back they have some bit to find on the likes of dublin and cork but at this level themselves and tipp will have a huge say next year again ,

well done kildare

i dont care what people say about them drafting in isolated players , that was a serious wind they had to face into at 7 points down at half time , great comeback , podges goal was excellent but cratloe's defence from half time onwards was excellent who ever wins the second semi this evening will have a serious job on there hands in the final

serious club the double is well and truly on now

You'd think it'd have to be next week and I thought I saw it on the Clare GAA website that it's on next Saturday but it's not there now

Wolfe Tones in Junior B hurling final next week, so likely football replay won't be until following week.

When is Junior C hurling replay?

The both were down for next weekend, someone probably thought there'd be no problem having the 2 games down for next Saturday until someone realised that the AI Football replay was on as well.
