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?

What's the story with the relegation play offs? Do the losers of the games play each other to see who goes down or what?

BTW, the feed from facebook is the playoffs are
Broadford vs Clooney/Quin
St. Joseph's Doora/Barefield vs Kilmaley
Whitegate vs Tulla
Wolfe Tones na Sionna in semi-final

yeah sorry made a balls of that one :rolleyes:, i think the 3 losers join wolf tones in the relegation "semi final" where the two losers will be relegated i think then the two winners play off in the relegation "final " with the losers of that game geting demoted to intermediate next year, so wolfe tones really got the short straw if they lose one game they are down , if they win there first game they can still go down very harsh on them

Ok, I think I've it figured out, the 3 teams play, and the losers are going down EXCEPT for 1 team who will play Shannon and the losers of that will go down.

that would make more sence , i am not 100% sure on how the format works either but it is very confusing

Clareman

It wouldn't make sense for the Clare County Board to make sense, also, they have to leave a back door in place in case they need to do a favour for someone.

That game was of no benefit to either team. Clare would have been better off to meet one of the teams from the other semi-final.

in fairness antrim are trying there best but the only way they will have any chance of improveing would be to enter the underage system in leinster,

everyone knew going down there yesterday that there would be atleast 15 to 20 points in it . the current system dose not suite galway either, they were probably the better team against wexford too but lack of games seemed to stand against them , you would have a far better championship if the runners up in leinster and munster got a second chance

Any idea as to when the playoffs between corofin, kilmihil and kildysart will take place or how they will do the draw?

Stationmaster

Not sure when they're on but usually they draw 2 to play off with the winner going through and the loser playing the other team left to see who also goes through.

Hurling q/f's on this weekend. Treble header in the park tomorrow starting at 3.30 with Cratloe v Eire Og, 5.00 is Clonlara v OC Mills and Crusheen v Nemarket at 6.30. Cratloe and Clonlara should win the first two with the last game to tight to call.

The all parish affair between Ballyea and Clarecastle takes place on Sunday at 1pm with Ballyea being the favourites.

yeah this saterday corofin play kildysart in gurteen the winners will play eire og's second team in two weeks time the losers will play kilmihil next weekend with the winners of that playing wolfe tones and the losers out so the expected kilmihil v wolf tones final will not happen , personally i taught corofin would be in the mix too though they ran miltown close in last years semi final, but it would seem kildysart have the Indian sign over them i would expect it to be kilmihil v corofin in the final play off

all three games will be very hard to call , hopfully there will be a big turnout , some of the attendances have been very poor through out the group stages all very interesting games but would agree with you with cratloe , clonlara , with a slight preference leaning towards newmarket , the game on sunday is also very hard to call ballyea might be favorites but they were probably playing better hurling at the same stage of the championship last year,

Can't see anyone but Tones winning this grade. I thought Kilmihil would run them close but not after last weekends result. Whoever wins between corofin and kildysart will beat eire og but won't win the final

yeah i always taught that corofin were descent though they nearly beat miltown in last years semi final only losing by 2 points although in saying that kildysart have the indian sign over them in reacent times

at half time it was 0-6 to 0-4 to corofin , the last update i had was with 10mins into the seccond half and it was 1-06 to 0-08 to corofin

Disappointed eire og didn't keep it closer than that score line.
Really thought we could cause an upset but experience and class shone thru in the end.
Still a pretty decent year from the hurlers and things are looking a lot brighter than a couple of years ago.

Don't know has the draw been made for the semi finals but a cratloe clonlara final would be very good I reckon.

crazyguy01

Anyone know how much it costs for Clarecastle/Ballyea tomorrow? And just out of interest how much was it to get into the park today for the quarter finals?
Thanks!

I'd guess 10 euro.
Ballyea might be slight favourites but I think Clarecastle have an excellent chance. As Windy Shepherd pointed out Ballyea aren't hurling anywhere near as well as this time last yr. In last years Q final they were excellent v Crusheen. They've been below that standard in their last 2 group games.

yeah clonlara have been relentless through out the championship in my book they have been massive favorites from day one i taught newmarket would challange as well but they were beaten by 3 points last night

conlon was probably clares best player all year from league through championship but with the fire power that clonlara have they were always going to be too good for o'callaghans mills , mills ran them close last year but clonlara look a compleatly different animal this year , the general taught is that cratloe are the only team that will trouble them but i think a dodged physical side like crusheen or clarecastle could run them close , but from what i have seen at the moment they look the best side left in the championship

it realy is somthing to see a player notch up such a high score but as i said above they were in a different class to there opponents last night

in fairness to eire og they have had a very good year and have the consloution prize available to them in a few weeks time against o'callaghans mills for the senior b honors

in a year where 5 teams were to get relagated they put in some impressive displays in senior b with a good young team they will build on it next year no doubt , i am sure the knock out style of championship will suite them as well
the likes of david reidy ,davey o'halloran thomas downes shane o'donnell are all 21 or younger so the future looks bright for them

yeah sorry forgot to post it was clarecastle 2-19 -1-14 ballyea

clarecastle far too strong and possibaly dark horses

the other game last night finished

crusheen 1-16 - 1-13 newmarket

marco_polo

No bother you're allowed one slip

. Didn't think Ballyea were desering of being such warm favourites but a little surprised it wasn't closer, sounds like a pretty dissapointing performance.

Hidalgo

Ballyea led 04 02 after about 10 mins. After that Clarecastle took over and at HT led 2 12 to 06.
Talking to a friend who was at it. He said Clarecastle had their matchups spot on. Most notably Stephen O Holloran on Tony Kelly.

The 4 C's remain standing.
