ONE season may have only just finished but clubs in Clare face a quick turnaround for the beginning of a new one. The last action of the 2006/07 season took place on May 27 when Fern Celtic defeated Avenue United in the replay of the under 14
cup final.
A month on and a new season of Summer soccer is just around the corner. The first league out of the blocks is the under 11s which is due to get underway on June 28.
The Clare schoolboys soccer league made the decision to switch to sum- mer soccer following positive discus-
sions with Bord na nOg Iomant, Bord na nOg Peil, A formal meeting be- tween then took place in March be- tween all parties at the West County Hotel, Ennis.
A schedule was agreed with no days of the week being used by any more than one competition. It was noted that the re-scheduling of fix-
tures, for genuine reasons can some- times prove necessary, but that where this occurs, the re-arranged fixture will not impinge on the other sports’ designated fixture days. The matter of training and challenge games was discussed. It was agreed that clubs would need to liaise at a local level. The respective committees would
not be involved with this, other than to encourage the officers of clubs to meet to discuss such arrangements. In order to ensure the continued smooth running of fixtures it was agreed that the fixtures secretaries would be in regular contact and fu- ture meetings would take place to re- view how the schedules operates.
