ON SATURDAY, November 12, the new Clare Juvenile Basketball League for Under 14 girls will tip off in St Flannan’s gym.

Seven clubs will compete from Kilrush to St Colman’s (Gort) and Abbey Lakers (Quin) in the first of many underage blitzes that will take place throughout the county for the coming season.

The boy’s Under 14 tournament will take place in Ennistymon on Saturday, November 26. There has been a lot of basketball development in the county over the past number of years, especially in the Marion Keane primary schools tournament so this new campaign will give children the opportunity to continue playing basketball as they get older.

The committee has proposed that clubs with teams under 12 should organise friendlies on a home and away basis until the Christmas break so that the kids get to learn more and enjoy the fun and social aspect of basketball.

This is a very exciting time for basketball in Clare and the committee hope that the community will benefit greatly from this new initiative. Clare Sports Partnership has helped and supported the setting up of the league and this should see a dramatic rise in the amount of players, spectators, and public interest in basketball around the County.

In the coming weeks, the league will run a coaching and referee’s course for people interested in getting involved in the sport.

Cla r e Cup Fina l I na gh /Kilna mona v Newma r ket -on-Fer gus @ O’Ga r ney Pa r k, Sixmilebr idge, Sunday 2pm HISTORY beckons for either Inagh/ Kilnamona and Newmarket-on-Fer gus on Sunday. For Inagh/Kilnamona, who began their journey as a permanent senior amalgamation only three years ago, it is a massive leap forward after reaching their first ever league final.

However, winning on Sunday would be historic for Newmarket too as the most successful side in the competition’s history with 21 titles look to bridge a 37 year gap to their last Clare Cup crown. Historic as well because none of the present squad were even born when the Blues saw off east Clare amalgamation Brian Borus in 1974.

While championship success had continued to elude the Blues, it would have been easy for them to down tools two months back after exiting the title race at the group stages for the first time in seven years. Howev- er, they refused to throw in the towel and after securing a senior B title just over a week ago, they are back in a second successive Clare Cup final, determined to finish the job this time around.

They were well in control of last year’s decider as well until Niall Gilligan almost singlehandedly snatched the title from under their noses but with Colin Ryan in top scoring form, aided by David Barrett who grabbed six points at the weekend, and county senior James McInerney anchoring the defence, they will be difficult to stop.

That said, if anything, Inagh/Kilnamona have proved to be one of the most difficult sides to shake off this year. They always possessed the attacking power, with Ger and Niall Arthur and Conor Tierney to the fore but they have also tightened up considerably at the back with Brian Glynn and Dermot Lynch in particular shining this year. In this competi- tion alone, they have displayed a new stubborn never-say-die attitude in drawing with Crusheen and Clonlara in the knock-out stages before winning out both replays.

They are also the only side to have beaten Newmarket-on-Fergus in this competition all year after their opening round 1-15 to 1-12 victory on away soil, with county champions Crusheen the only other team to have got the better of the Blues in competitive action in 2011.

That will certainly give the Combo optimism ahead of the final but equally, it provides ample ammunition for Newmarket’s motivation and guards against any complacency that might have crept in following their recent impressive run.

Stopping the Blues from entering into their stride early on will be key for Inagh/Kilnamona on Sunday as in the last three games, they have been able to build up significant leads before their opponents finally settled. They were 2-2 to no score up against the Mills after only seven minutes in the Senior B semi-final, scored the first six points of the game against Clarecastle in the final and on Saturday, were 0-10 to 0-0 clear of Kilma- ley before they opened their account in the 19th minute.

A similar start on this occasion could effectively finish the game before it even starts as it is a young Inagh/Kilnamona side that crave the brighter start to settle their inevitable nerves.

For all of Inagh/Kilnamona’s considerable progress this year, it is still difficult to look beyond Newmarket for the title, even taking into account their nervy displays in recent big finals. They are the team in unstoppable form, have buckets of big game experience and certainly won’t lack motivation as they bid to banish the lengthy hoodoo that has plagued them over the last 30 years.

Win this and they can follow in Sixmilebridge’s footstep by building for a championship assault but if Inagh/Kilnamona can match them for the opening 40 minutes, it could be the Combo who will look longingly towards the future. Verdict: Newma rket-on-Fergus

Minor A Cha mpionship Fina l Sixmilebr idge v Ba llyea @ Cusack Pa r k or Cla r eca st le, Sat ur day 3pm IT MAY be the most inevitable final pairing since the movie Gladiator but it is also the decider that the most neutrals would have wished for from the outset as these kingpins of the championship finally face off.

However, with great expectations also comes great pressure and in such a 50-50 contest, whichever side can overcome the inevitable nerves that will accompany this final should also take the honours. For Ballyea, this is perhaps the club’s best ever chance to garner the top prize in underage hurling as this team have been building towards this day for some years. Equally however, while Sixmilebridge’s pedigree in this competition is far superior, the fact that they have lost the last three deciders will be a cause for anxiety. It wasn’t just about losing those finals, it was more about losing them as overwhelming favourites to underdogs Inagh/Kilnamona, Kilmaley and Newmarket, all of whom had succumbed to the ‘Bridge earlier in the competition.

Perhaps the fact that Ballyea will enter Saturday’s decider as favourites will suit the ‘Bridge more this time around. Ballyea took the hon- ours in the group stages by 2-15 to 1-11 back in August but as the Under 16 championship proved when strong favourites Clarecastle beat the ‘Bridge early on, only to be caught by the same opposition in the semifinal, group losses mean very little in underage hurling.

This final is also noteworthy for the number of county minors on show, with a large chunk of Clare’s Munster minor winning panel in action on Saturday. Ballyea’s contingent consisted of Jack Browne, Gearoid O’Connell, Niall Deasy and captain Tony Kelly but the ‘Bridge was also well represented by Jamie Shanahan, Seadna Morey, Alan Mulready and Brian Carey.

Such potential star quality makes for a thrilling final that could easily go either way. The loss of Martin O’Leary, who also played in the Minor Division 1 football final recently, to injury is a massive blow to Ballyea but in Tony Kelly, they possess the best player in the championship and one with the undoubted ability to win a game on his own No better occasion then to demonstrate that prowess than in his club’s most important decider since 2003 and in such an inch-tight contest, it could well be the the decided edge. Verdict: Ballyea

Newmarket-on-Fergus 2-18 – Kilmaley 0-09 at Clarecastle

MOMENTUM was undoubtedly the deciding factor for Newmarket as they emphatically maintained their late season push for honours. With a Senior B title already in the bag, the hunt for a first Clare Cup title in 37 years take precedence as the Blues bid to finish the year on a high and add to the Junior A and C adult crowns.

They were unquestionably the more sharper side on display on Saturday following their successful Senior B campaign to put a ringrusty Kilmaley to the sword without little fuss. Kilmaley’s pre-Halloween nightmare was fueled by their contrasting inactivity over the past five weeks since their disappointing exit from the championship at the quarterfinal stage. It dictated a slow start against the conditions for Kilmaley who found themselves ten points in arrears before they finally found the target in the 19th minute.

Newmarket’s well-oiled machine hit the ground running from the outset, with David Barrett (5) and Colin Ryan (3) doing the bulk of the damage while there were also two inspitational long range points from centre-back James McInerney to lift their supporters.

Kilmaley craved a spark and by bringing back full-forward’s Colin Lynch and Niall McGuane around the centre, they finally got a foothold in the game. Ken Kennedy (2) and Diarmuid McMahon settled them with points, only to be put back on their heels when Colin Ryan converted four more of his own to give his side a 0-14 to 0-03 advantage deep into injury-time.

However, Kilmaley’s afternoon was turned on its head before the break when Diarmuid McMahon earned his side a penalty. Scoring it would have given them a much needed boost going in at half-time, with the wind to come but instead they were to suffer a double whammy as Daire Keane’s penalty went wide and in the resulting heated discourse, Diarmuid McMahon was dismissed for striking. No way back surely for Kilmaley but in truth, with Colin Lynch and Daire Keane to the fore, they refused to throw in the towel on the turnover. Both sides would only score six more times apiece in an increasingly dreary winter backdrop but decisively, two of Newmarket’s scores were goals for Colin Ryan and Sean O’Connor, a minute either side of the turn for the final quarter. Kilmaley earned a second penalty that was saved but there was never any doubt about the result that earned the Newmarket Blues a Clare Cup final place for the second consecutive year.

Éir e Óg v Ba llydu ff (Ker r y) @ Aust in St ack Pa r k, Tr a lee, Sunday 2pm (Pat Ca sey, Wat er for d) AFTER finally winning the intermediate title just over a week ago, Éire Óg will get their first taste of senior competitive action this Sunday when taking on the Kerry Senior Hurling Champions Ballyduff. Expectations were that it would be a much fancied Courcey Rovers that the Ennis side would be facing, a game that would also have given the Clare champions home advantage but instead a late rally of three unanswered points on Sunday ensured that it was Ballyduff who prevailed by 1-14 to 0-15.

Central to that victory were Ballyduff’s sizeable county senior contingent, five of which played against Clare in Division 2 of the National League back in March. The three Boyle’s, Michael (County Captain), Liam and Aidan along with wingback Padraig O’Grady and midfielder Paud Costello were all part of that 6-23 to 1-18 contest while four more of Sunday’s team, Eric O’Connor, Pat Joe Connolly, David Goulding and Padraig Boyle also played against Clare in the opening round of this year’s Munster minor championship.

Therefore, the Kerry champions have plenty of experience when you consider that only Shane O’Donnell represented Éire Óg on either occasion. Horses for courses you might argue, with the competition for places far different in Clare than in Kerry but equally big match experience is big match experience when it comes down to it whether you are winning or losing.

While last Sunday’s quarter-final was Ballyduff and indeed, Kerry’s first win in the competition, it was a breakthrough that has been coming for the past number of years as the standard of Kerry hurling has improved immensely.

Éire Óg will be wary of all the potential pitfalls but after getting the monkey of an intermediate title off their backs, they can afford to play with a little more freedom and less burden on their shoulders.

The Townies have nothing to lose and everything to gain as they may never get a better chance of capturing provincial silverware. Clare have had a decent pedigree in this competition over the last five years and Éire Óg have more than enough quality to match the achievements of Clooney/ Quin, Clonlara and Broadford who last reached the final in 2008. It will be close but if Éire Óg can match Ballyduff’s doggedness and utilise their extra quality up front, they might just get over what looks to be the toughest opposition in the competition. Verdict: Éíre Óg

Inagh 1-13 – An Rinn (Waterford) 1-02 at Bansha, County Tipperary

ONLY A fortnight after securing the county intermediate title, Inagh added a Munster Junior crown after a superior second half performance over Waterford side Ann Rinn on Saturday afternoon. Played in Bansha under strong winter sunshine, An Rinn from the Gaeltacht area of Waterford had the aid of a stiff breeze in the opening half, however it was Inagh’s Fiona Lafferty who opened the scoring with a pointed free inside the opening minute of play.

An Rinn’s response was both immediate and significant as having won possession of their own puckout, Deirdre ni Fhathaigh gathered possession out on the wing and dropped her shot into the Inagh square where Brid McCarthy batted it out but it was Lorraine ní Fhaoleán who got to the dropping sliotar first and sent her effort past McCarthy.

However, aided by the confidence from their county title win, Inagh didn’t panic and hit back with another point on the board after Patricia O’Loughlin sent a shot from midfield down the wing and Helen Hehir managed to draw the sliotar out from the ruck and put her shot over from an awkward angle.

Ni Fhathaigh pointed from a free to put the Waterford side back in front by two points and both sides were guilty of wides in the next few minutes, more from an inability to cope with the strong breeze than erratic shooting. Inagh ended that drought when Lafferty sent a long range free down to the square and it was Hehir who gathered and sent Inagh in front with her well struck goal. Lethal front pair, Lafferty and Hehir added three more points for Inagh while Fiona ni Mhuiríosa converted a free for Ann to give Inagh a four point lead at half-time at 1-6 to 1-2.

Now with the wind and sun to their advantage, the clare champions upped the tempo in the second half, with four points in three min- utes through Fiona Lafferty (3) and Patricia O’Loughlin (1) easing them into an eight point lead by the 40th minute. Inagh kept An Rinn scoreless in the second half, despite the best efforts of Eimear ni Fhionnalaigh and Líse ni Priondgrais but up against a strong Inagh backline of Jennifer Griffen, Siobhan Lafferty and Gillian Lafferty, An Rinn were continuously thwarted as they tried hard to get another goal on the board. Inagh kept kept up the pressure and with a further three points before the finish, strolled to a facile 11 point win. Munster Council Chairman Ea- mon Browne presented the trophy to captain Sinead O’Loughlin who will hope to lead her side to a third successive title as they enter the All-Ireland series in a fortnight’s time. First up for the Munster winners are the Connaught champions in the All-Ireland semi-final as they look to emulate Corofin by reaching the national junior decider.

Meelick 0-11 – Kilrush Shamrocks 2-04 at Pairc Finne. Corofin

DON’T let the scoreline fool you. With only a point in it, Meelick were left hanging on for all their worth when the game rolled into the sixth minute of injury time.

The south east Clare side eventually stumbled over the line – had they actually contrived to lose, it would have been football’s equivalent of the injustice perpetrated again Captain Alfred Dreyfus himself.

The Frenchman was exiled to Devil’s Island in the wrong – Meelick would have been exiled in the island of junior football for another year at least, something that would have been very rough justice indeed, given their mastery over the hour.

This was particularly evident in the second half when they hit seven points to move 0-11 to 0-4 clear by the 50th minute. It was a cruise with county panellists Kevin and Barry Harnett pulling the strings in a Meelick side that had more football, better fitness and the legs on a slew of rotund Shams that looked a forlorn and beaten docket for much of the second half.

But looks were deceiving as a David O’Shea penalty in the 59th minute teed up a dramatic finale. Suddenly Meelick were rattled, while their worst nightmare then threatened to unfold when another Shams onslaught yielded a second goal in the fifth minute of injury time from Cian Murray when he blasted to the net from 14 yards. Suddenly it was back to the minimum.

That this nightmare passed a minute later was down Michael Fitzgerald’s final whistle, but ultimately because Meelick had done enough in the first 59 minutes to book their place in the intermediate ranks for the first time.

They had dominated both halves, starting the better with points on five and eight minutes from influential centre-forward Pat Finucane, even if their failure to turn possession into scores eventually allowed the Shams gain a foothold when they opened their account when John Kelly pointed a 23rd minute free.

Meelick bounced back with another Finucane point from play in the 27th minute, only for the Shams to respond almost immediately when David O’Shea and Calum Bond teed up Sean Naughton for a fine point as this decider finally came to life. This raise in standard was then completed in injury time when Gary Moloney placed Andy White for a point to give Meelick a 0-4 to 0-2 interval lead.

Alas, the quality in the second half was lopsided, with Meelick effectively winning the title when hitting four points without reply in the opening 12 minutes as they moved 0-8 to 0-2 clear.

All came from play as Kevin Harnett (2), Niall Mullen and Gary Moloney put a rampant Meelick side on their way. All the Shams could muster in the first 20 minutes were points from Cian Murray and Sean Madigan that left them seven adrift after two more Kevin Harnett points from frees and one from play by Oisín Hickey suggested a predictable finale.

It was far from that, of course, when Michael Murray was pulled down for the penalty that David O’Shea drove home. Then Cian Murray’s strike brought the Shams back from the brink and Meelick to the edge of the abyss.

Justice was served when the unthinkable didn’t happen – that Meelick survived and the Shams came up short.

Shams would admit that themselves.

BEING from Miltown Malbay, Meelick manager Pat O’Rourke saw the Shams in action many times on Hennessy Memorial Park – that’s why he was prepared for what happened at the end when the former kingpins of Clare football kept plugging away and nearly ambushed his team.

“Kilrush were always to come at us,” he said drawing breath at the end, just after their seemingly unassailable seven-point lead had been chopped to the bare minimum. “They are a strong senior club and I new they would keep going. We just got over the line and that’s all that mattered.

“We missed easy scores in the first half and if you don’t take those scores you’re going to be in trouble. We knew we were good enough if we played to our potential and I think we did. Apart from missing handy scores we really did ourselves justice today,” he added.

And, that went for the year as a whole, a window into which O’Rourke introduced anyone who was listening as the junior championship trophy was being presented to captain Kevin Harnett. “We have been training since last February,” he revealed, “and between league and championship we have lost two games all year. So we had a lot of work put in. Today was the big one for us, the one we wanted to win.

“From now on everything else is a bonus. We will look forward to playing Munster Club. Any Kerry or Cork team that you play are going to be good. All we can do is go out and do our best to do the county proud,” he added. Meelick v Dr omid Pea r ses @ Meelick, Sunday 2pm Refer ee – Richa r d Moloney (Limer ick)

Bridge Celtic 0 – Connolly Celtic 0 (AET Bridge Celtic won 3-2 after penalties) at The County Grounds, Doora

THE COLD War of Celtic’s east v west eventually went Bridge’s way after a two hour endurance battle that was only finally decided in sudden death penalties. In a goalless test of attrition that could have realistically gone either way, nothing could separate the sides until Dean Sinnott gave the east Clare side a memorable victory with the winning penalty.

It was cruel on Connolly, it always is when the lottery of penalties are involved. But in terms of clearcut chances created, Bridge arguably deserved their latest silverware that will banish the nightmare of last year’s relegation from the Premier Division and sit nicely alongside their Premier Division league title of 2007.

After Connolly had shaded the opening half’s exchanges with the aid of the breeze, it was Bridge who would manufacture four glorious second period opportunities in a 20 minute period midway through the half. Paul McEvoy came closest in the 57th minute when his diving header from a superb curling Diarmuid Aherne cross produced an equally impressive full length stop from goalkeeper Niall Quinn.

The next three were almost identical as teasing crossfield passes from the left wing were not headed on target at the back stick, twice from Willie Neary while captain Trevor Howard also came close with his 75th minute header that just drifted past the right post.

Had Connolly gone on to win the cup, the Killaloe/Bridgetown side would certainly have pointed to those misses as the main source of regret but due to their own stubborn rearguard, manned expertly by William Slattery and Luke Turner in particular, they weren’t about to leak any needless goals at the other end either.

They demonstrated that in the opening half when Connolly sent off a few warning shots to test their resolve. In the fourth minute, a Ken Kennedy free from his own half drifted beyond their forward division but skidded dangerously off the turf and goalkeeper Paul O’Connell had to be alert.

Five minutes later, they targetted effective centre-forward Mickey Byrnes, this time from the right through Andrew Clancy and when Byrnes headed down, Alan Markham was first to react but under pressure, sent his volley just wide of the right post.

Bridge’s best opportunity of the opening half came by way of an op- portunist run from Alan Conway who raced onto a ball over the top from Dean Sinnott before dribbling in from the endline and sending a shot via goalkeeper Quinn across the goalline before it was eventually cleared.They built on that chance in the second half when backed by the conditions but a failure to take their chances meant that the match was destined for extra-time.

The first ten minute period was an anxious deadlock of few chances but on the turnover, both sides had one final chance to snatch the silverware. In the 103th minute, Connol- ly’s lively striker Pat Hogan spotted goalkeeper Paul O’Connell off his line but couldn’t keep his lob below the bar. And after substitute Kieran Dillon was redcarded three minutes later, Connolly had goalkeeper Quinn to thank once more for maintaining their clean sheet when he was equal to a Trevor Howard shot from 35 metres.

Darkness descended as a penalty shootout had to be undertaken to fi nally separate the sides but the quest for the opening goal had to wait until the fourth penalty through Connolly’s Barry Lynch after the previous three had been expertly saved by Quinn (2) and O’Connell. The tables were turned in Bridge’s favour however as William Slattery and Diarmuid Aherne converted their successive spot kicks while O’Connell saved Connolly’s corresponding two but Sudden Death inevitably came into effect as Luke Turner blasted his potentially match winning penalty over the bar while Connolly substitute John Kelly gained parity at 2-2.

The marathon only lasted two more penalties however as Dean Sinnott found the right corner of the net while Ken Kennedy’s effort sailed agonisinly over the bar. And with a sigh of relief, Bridge Celtic left Clare headquarters with the first silverware of the year and a perfect kickstart to their promotion campaign.

Corofin Harps 1 – Manus Celtic A 0 at Corofin

THE INCLEMENT weather has ensured a slow start to the season and this game was indicative of that malaise as these sides slugged it out for the points. There was no shortage of endeavour and commitment but due to a lack of quality in the final third for the majority, it seemed as if it was destined to end on a scoreless deadlock until Damien Ryan popped up with a late piece of magic to send his side to the top of the table.

It was a goal worthy of winning any game as a long throw from Brendan Keane was added to by brother John into the path of Ryan who deftly backheeled the ball just beyond the reach of goalkeeper Pakie Healy.

It was cruel on Celtic who had fought the good fight up to that point but in truth, the tide had already turned in Corofin’s favour as the second period progressed, with the physical presence of John Keane as a makeshift centre-forward a constant thorn in Manus’ side.

The first half saw numerous half chances for either side but none that would have troubled the sides’ respective goalkeepers to any great extent. Mikey Geraghty and John Molloy got into good positions for Manus but failed to create a meaningful shot on Fergal Neylon’s goal. While up the other end, Corofin had a few long range sights of goal that drifted over the bar but did have the best chance of the half when Ryan gathered possession at the edge of the box, dummied one defender before his deflected shot fell into the waiting arms of Healy in the 38th minute.

Manus hit back immediately on the restart and had a glorious chance after only 30 seconds when Jamie Fahy dispossessed around halfway and bore down on goal. However, he hesitated at the vital time and saw his shot sail wide of the far post.

From that point on however, Corofin targetted John Keane up front and it began to pay dividends.

In the 54th minute, a Damien Ryan cross from the left was headed down by the big centre-forward into the path of the onrushing Luke O’Loughlin whose stinging shot was tipped onto the sidenetting by Healy. Five minutes later, Ryan and Keane combined once more, this time from the opposite side but Keane headed wide.

Manus emptied the bench in search of a winner and were successful on the counter-attack with John Molloy having their best opportunity eight minutes from time but his shot was kept out by Neylon.

That save proved crucial in the wake of Corofin’s winning goal only two minutes later when Ryan finished with aplomb but there was still plenty of goalmouth action to come before they would secure their second win of the campaign.

Manus’ inspirational centre-half Kevin Clohessy pushed up to midfield and had a shot on target from the edge of the box as did Mikey Geraghty and substitute Jonathan Griffey while John Keane had a volley moments after the goal but none would change the scoreline that puts Corofin top and leaves Manus rooted to the bottom. However, there is still a long, long way to go.
