Clare GAA discussion thread

eroo

Thought I'd start this thread as haven't found one of the same.

So, 2010.. new decade... new beginnings? With the aim of the League being to get back into Division 1, could Clare also achieve success in Munster this year?

The fixtures for 2010:

31.01.2010 Waterford v Clare(Waterford Crystal Cup SF)

21.02.2010 Clare v Down (NHL)
28.02.2010 Laois v Clare (NHL)
14.03.2010 Clare v Wexford (NHL)
21.03.2010 Antrim v Clare (NHL)
28.03.2010 Carlow v Clare (NHL)
04.04.2010 Clare v Westmeath (NHL)
18.04.2010 Kildare v Clare (NHL)

07.06.2010 Waterford v Clare (MHC)

As well as a proposed friendly versus Cork, Ger O'Loughlin has a good load of matches to blood players from U-21's into the senior game. With the opponents in the League not posing a major threat some would argue Clare wont get as much preparation as Div 1 teams, but maybe it will give them an opportunity to focus on their strength and conditioning?

So, Clare face Waterford on Sunday at 2pm in Ballyduff Upper.. I think they should win against this weakened Waterford side, but I think it will be close tbh. But could Waterford topple us in the pre season tournament?

That ref shouldn't be let anywhere near an inter county game, an absolute disgrace, he simply doesn't know the rules of hurling

Awful conditions, diabolical ref and thought Tipperary were much hungrier than us.

yeah that was my take at the game also just going watching it back now , tipp in fairness played the conditions better then us in both half's very hard to get worried about a result like that but it would have to be said that 0-2 points from play is terrible shooting regardless how bad the pitch or the weather was

we probably made a bit of a superstar out of paudi maher by bombing high balls in on top of him all night , he was the extra man in a two man full forward line for us , we will seriously need to take a look at how we use this tactic before the end of the league

most of our scores seemed to come from running at tipperary and winning frees , would like us to try and shoot from out the field a little more at times or play a 3 man full forward line and make the other team bring back a sweeper,

our full back line was poor to say the least , dont think anyone covered themselves in glory , david mac was caught for the second goal browne was badly caught out for the first , while jason mccarthy was out of sorts in the first half would like to see david mac come out to half back and someone like cleary move back

bad night at the office but thankfully its still only january

Not a good day at the office. Sending off was a joke and who knows what would have happened with him on the field but Tipp wanted it more. Plenty of work to do.

Generally I would be against putting John Conlon back, early from injury, so soon in the year. Having said that, it's by far the most experimental line up Maloney and O'Connor have played in the league in quite a while. I just notice Shanagher isn't on the 26, I hope its not injury related.

Hoping Deasy and Guilfoyle go well and take their chance, they have the skillset we could really use in the forward line. And so too Diarmuid Ryan, although I would prefer him at left half back instead of Malone. I'm not sure is Malone a half back in the making, I guess we will see. Also, I wish the best for the two McCarthy's on the right side of the backs, especially Aidan. I thought this year was a bit early but there is no doubt he is a serious talent. I think his brother Jason, at corner back is definitely worth a try as he is a tough player.

I'd like to see Rory Hayes and Gary Cooney get game time tomorrow and over the course of the league. I'd expect Ian Galvin and David Fitz will be given an opportunity to stake a claim for a starting spot. Good thing about this year is there is no relegation so there is latitude to test the squad.

Really happy to see management going with that team, loads of lads getting an opportunity to challenge for a spot come summer against what is a strong Tipp team.

Not that it's good news that he's injured but it's good news he's around for the year, I thought he was gone.

As far as I know Shanagher had a problem with his hamstring and is out for 3 or 4 weeks..

Clareman

Big match for the footballers on Sunday, to stay up they'll have to win their home matches but Donegal are probably going to go straight back up so I think we'll struggle.

Result Munster Post Primary Schools U16.5 A Football quarter-final

St Flannans 2-8 Tralee CBS 1-6

A good win for the Ennis school.

ready4liftoff

The Clare U20 hurlers played their Kilkenny counterparts in a Under 20 hurling challenge match at UL over the weekend of January 12th/13th. Does anyone know who won and the Clare team that lined out? Who is part of Sean Doyle's backroom team for the U20's?

How are preparations for the Clare U17 hurlers and footballers getting on at this early stage of 2019? Have both teams played any challenge matches so far? Will there be any dual players in both panels? The Clare U17 footballers play their first Munster championship round-robin match against Limerick, in a Limerick venue in mid-April. While the Clare U17 hurlers are away to Waterford in their opening Munster Championship round-robin match in May.

Any info on any of the above queries will be most welcome.

Keelan Sexton scored 1-10 for UL. Darragh Bohannon also played

Were you at it readyforliftoff? Very low scoring for a schools game in particular.

I wasn't at the game ShortKickOut. However in my opinion St Flannans have lost a huge opportunity to qualify for the Corn Ui Mhuiri final, for the 1st time in quite some time, as if they went through, they would have avoided St Brendans Killarney in the semi-final.

The Sem as they are also called, would seem to be hot favorites to win the Corn Ui Mhuiri, ahead of PS Chorca Dhuibhne and the other 2 Cork schools St Francis Rochestown and Clonakilty CC in that order.

The match report from today, is in the link below

Clare County Council open their car park for matches, come in the Tulla Road and park there, short walk and no hassle.

You should have no problem finding a space near the ground or in the town center , espically if its for the donegal game , i would be amazed if there are any more then 2000 at it ,

Ennis is almost surrounded by a ring road leading back onto the motorway so its fairly easy get in and out of the town ,

Depends on the Game tbh

I posted this terrible image before Link

Really there is lots of on street parking
Then there is Dunnes Stores, Glor, The Temple gate hotel - All a 2 - 4 min walk, there is also parking at the Rear of the Cloister Bar (can be handy if the New Western turnstiles are in use)

If it's not too big a game you'd typically find a space in the Above
And it it's a big game you could just abandon the car somewhere, Happens all the time :pac:
