    Hon the Banner. Great weekend for Clare GAA.

    Very impressive win for the hurlers. Tipp had plenty of the senior stars starting and we have plenty to come back into the team.

    that's probably the most pleasing aspect of the win having so many starters on the bench , great to see the fringe players taking there chance

    its probably hard to see a number of them players making regular starts especially come championship but having a strong bench is vital for when injuries kick in

    some of the key position battles at the moment in my opinion to look put for in the league

    aaron shanagher v colin guilfoyle ( full forward along side conlon )
    rory hayes v jack browne ( corner back )
    shane golden v cathal malone (mid field )
    diarmuid ryan v david fitzgerald ( left half back or midfield)
    peter duggen v niall deasy (half forward /free taker )
    cathal mcinerney v ryan taylor/ mikey o neill or gary cooney (corner forward)
    aidan mccarthy v jason mccarthy ( right half back or corner back )

    aidan mccarthy v jason mccarthy ( right half back or corner back )

    Guilfoyle was excellent today, no reason why both him and Shanagher shouldn't start together with Conlon. That would be a very powerful full forward line.

    I'd have Golden ahead of Malone every day of the week. Peter Duggan still well ahead of Deasy too I think. Hayes certainly put his hand up today, I thought he did very well. Great to gave so many options.

    So what a weekend for Clare GAA

    Clare - McGrath Cup football champions
    Clare - Munster senior hurling league champions
    St Flannans - Munster Camogie Senior B Post Primary Schools Champions
    Colaiste Muire Ennis - Munster Camogie Senior D Post Primary Schools Champions
    Diarmuid Nash - Number 1 ranked handball player in Ireland now, as the man from Tuamgraney wins the prestigious Gaffney Memorial, his 2nd win in his last 3 tournaments.

    Thank you to everyone to those that produced these top class displays. You have made all of the Banner county so proud as we approach the second full week of January. Congrats to one and all!

    does anyone know what's going on with Oisin O Brien?
    is he still nursing an injury or omitted from the panel?

    also is David Reidy still available and part of the squad this year?

    Oisin O'Brien has had rotten luck with injuries and that's an understatement. David Reidy might be finishing his masters in college and is focusing on that exclusively - not 100% certain though. Seadna Morey, Aaron Cunningham, Conor McGrath and Shane O'Donnell are other players that have yet to see action so far in the 2019 season, which started with a win over Wexford in Tulla, in a challenge match early last month.

    There is great strength and depth in the Clare senior hurling panel at the moment. Great to see. Don't forget the league panel will be confirmed in the next few days. Who do you leave out?

    Shane Golden getting alot of praise which is interesting. In terms of his size and athleticism he is exactly the type of player you want beside Galvin. He just hasn't been able to translate his good club form to senior level. And he has had his chances. Maybe he might make the step up this year. He is 27 so not old or anything. I know a few people won't agree giving him another shot a it, they feel that ship has sailed.

    ready4liftoff,

    is it true that Aaron Cunnighham will not be available again this year because he is away on his travelling ventures?

    not yet but was on the bench today , will probably be used in the same way as last year as an impact sub in both league and championship , probably as malones replacement or for his brother , he is almost too good to have on the bench though

    he has probably been one of the best players in the county over the last two years , the league will tell more on his sudden progress but at the time being he is deserved of his praise and starting position , a very interesting prospect in midfield , half forward or full forward for management to look at , at the moment its been mainly midfield and briefly half forward

    He has been in Australia for most of the past year and is back there again. We won't be seeing him with Clare this year.

    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:

    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 ,

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

    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

    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.
