    The footballers face Waterford tomorrow in the Munster SFC Quarter Final. They will be eager to get revenge on Waterford after the League campaign ending in such a disappointing manner. Kick off is at 3pm in Dungarvan. Here's hoping the lads get a win, however close it may be..

    The Clare senior hurlers lost to Tipperary on Thursday evening in a low key challenge match, with the final score being 1-16 to 1-15. Gerry O'Grady has been forced to leave the panel after his ankle inury returning. James McInerney is a very serious injury concern right now while doubt remains over Nicky O'Connell, Alan Markham and Domhnaill O'Donovan. These are worrying developments, but we will keep hope nonetheless :pac:

    Looks like the footballers have a (slightly) better chance, with that news

    Waterford 1-10 Clare 0-9

    Well Clare are not out of contention for Munster and it looks very unlikely we will progress from that. A season that looked so good with the League being a good one until Limerick and Waterford, is now esentially over. Very disappointing and cannot be good for the teams confidence.

    2 weeks time the lads on the hurling squad step up to the Deise..

    Looking forward to Inter County hurling.. yes.

    Moaning about being in Div 2 or 4 wont help the teams move forward. Supporting them will. So yes I'm looking forward to seeing them in action again.:)

    Division 2 should be very interesting next year, 5 or so teams all of who will be legitimately looking for the one promotion spot. Clare are the best team in the league by a decent bit imo but considering ye are so young and inexperienced both on the sideline and on the pitch I have a feeling a less talented Limerick side led by O'Grady might sneak the spot, rather like Wexford last year.

    I agree with you Orizio, but I feel that we will have that extra drive to not go through a 3rd year in Div 2.

    Many call ups anticipated?

    The likes of Conor McGrath will surely be in the reckoning for a championship spot next year.

    Seanie Mac played a blinder again as usual.
    Hate it when a ref wants to be the centre of attention.
    They'll kill him down in Cratloe, if they get their hands on him.:D

    Cant recall anything too controversial,i was behind the aldi goal so may have missed some decisions given up the other end,do you think seanie gave some controversial ones to crusheen?

    do you reckon seanie was given the final due to the hard year he is enduring off the field??;):D

    I'm not a big Seanie fan either but he was alright today. Cratloe can have 0 complaints. The better team won with Cratloe not helping themselves along the way. They were 3 points down with a few mins to go and had 2 chances to put the ball over the bar to bring it back to 1, instead they went for goal on each occasion and this cost them dearly in the end.

    Clare football manager Michael McDermott is looking into the possibility of enlisting the services of a number of Dublin-based players under the GAA's parentage rule.

    As a county which hasn't won a senior provincial football title in the last 10 years, Clare can avail of the rule which could see recent Dublin panellists, Shane McGrath, who plays with Thomas Davis, and Kilmacud Crokes' Pat Burke, link up with the Bannermen next year.

    The former Kilmurry-Ibrickane boss is also looking at Na Fianna brothers Aidan and Brian Downes as well as St. Brigid's David O'Connor.

    McDermott's native county of Cavan availed of the parentage rule this year by recruiting highly-rated St. Oliver Plunkett's/Eoghan Ruadh forward Gareth 'Nesty' Smith.

    That would be a very good move for us, but I honestly think we have enough of footballers in the county to put something together, I'm not saying we're at the top table by any means, but it wouldn't take much to get us to the latter stages of the championship depending on draws of course.

    John Maughan brought in a great self belief and team ethic in the late 80s/early 90s, we need someone like this again :)

    What do you mean we need them back next year? i stand corrected but All the players youve mentioned were available to The management,(if the management choose to pick them) when most needed,A few of them were missing while KIB were in the club championship but Clare had played and beaten wicklow & leitrim london and kilkenny that i can remember without the KIB lads.

    Clare were beaten by waterford,limerick and offaly when it mattered most, i attended some of these games last year and how clare beat leitrim and wicklow is beyond me........ massive strokes of luck in those games put clare top of the league for a period and put a gloss on our league position.The game v offaly was one clare could have won but didnt....

    As for clare management looking for talent in the Dublin area..... Cant see The county board paying any newcomers milage...... the gravy train is full lads,no room for new ppl;)
