THE CLARE Minor Footballers bounced back from their defeat to Cork on Wednesday evening with an impressive display against Waterford on Saturday that earned them a semi-final playoff against neighbours Limerick.

Miltown’s Conor and Eoin Cleary got Clare off the mark in the opening stages but it was three goals inside ten minutes of play that set the benchmark for this Clare performance.

The first of three came from Niall Hickey in the 7th minute who also added two points soon after. Some good play from Clare then saw Conor Cleary rattle the Deise net with 14 minutes of play gone.

The third goal came just after the quarter hour mark, Hickey again managed to put it in from close range bringing his tally to 2-2.

Eoin Cleary added two more points along with another coming from Martin O’Leary which meant Clare went in at the break leading, 3-7 to 0-6.

Clare never took the game for granted in the second half as they continued to dominate.

Points from substitute Jack Scanlon and midfielder Alan O’Neill furthered Clare’s lead.

A goal from Waterford’s Dale Sheridan gave his side a glimmer of hope but it was to be Clare’s day, Martin O’Leary got his sides fourth goal from the penalty spot and Conor Cleary finished off proceedings with a point which was the final score of the game.

This Clare minor side will now look ahead to a Semi-final playoff tie with Limerick and will be hoping to bring their current form into the game after they put in a great performance against Cork and a dominating display in overcoming Waterford. A Munster final place is at stake.

CULLAUN Sailing club held its annual spring regatta on Sunday 17th of April. Sunshine and light south easterly winds were the order of the day. The wind was a light force 2 which tested the sailor’s light wind skills and suited the enterprise fleet. Chris Forristal and Emily Gallagher got a clear start in the first race, despite being challenged by Tom Mc Hugh and Colm Ward, they ultimately finished clear ahead.

The wind dropped and became variable in the second race. In this race it was Tom Mc Hugh and Colm Ward who got a clear start. This led to nip and tuck racing between Tom Mc Hugh and Chris Forristal in the lead Enterprises. However despite rounding the last leeward mark together Chris Forristal pulled away to finish first, followed by Tom Mc Hugh and then Eoin Barron taking 3rd place in his Wayfarer.

The wind increased slightly and veered southerly for the third race. The increased wind conditions allowed the Wayfarer sailors to be more competitive, however it was still Chris Forristal in the Enterprise who won the third race. Eoin Barron finished second followed by Tom Mc Hugh.

The overall result was Chris Forristal and Emily Gallagher first, Tom Mc Hugh and Colm Ward second and Margaret Hynes and Emmet O Mahony in third place.

May promises to be a busy month for Cullaun Sailing Club. The May evening series will have racing every Thursday evening starting at 7.15pm. Cullaun sailing club open day featuring the fleet launch and the blessing of the boats is scheduled for 8th May. The adult introduction to sailing weekend is the 28th and 29th of May, See www.cullaunsailingclub.com for further details and applications.

Clare 4-28 – Carlow 0-08 at Cusack Park, Ennis

DOING the basic math this was about beating Carlow to reach the final frontier of a National League final – putting applied mathematics into the equation, what this league is really about is making sure that Clare don’t have to take themselves up to Carlow in the 2012 campaign.

The chance to make sure they don’t have to make the journey comes against Limerick on Sunday week after this facile victory over a game, but (as we always knew would be the case) limited Carlow side.

Sure, they had run Clare to a solitary point in Dr Cullen Park last year, but given the recent disappointment endured by Ger O’Loughlin’s charges in O’Moore Park, anything other than a backlash victory of sizeable proportions would have been a disappointment – downright failure even.

Cue this performance then, with a rampant Clare having 32 points to spare in the end as a chastened Carlow trudged off the field wondering what had hit them on their first visit to Cusack Park in 21 years.

Back then, when Carlow were beaten by 25 points, they had to draft in first generation Clareman Leo McGough from the press benches as an emergency sub – this time they had enough numbers, but were much worse off.

It was that kind of day – from the Clare point of view it had a summer feel to it as they reached a second success final, from Carlow’s it was a harsh lesson in the fact of life that they’re still just a Christy Ring Cup side.

Clare may have been sluggish in the opening exchanges as Carlow’s early enthusiasm had them on level terms at 0-2 apiece after ten minutes. Alas for Carlow, the gulf in standard gradually got wider as Clare hit 1-7 without reply in a 15 minute spell that killed the contest and booked a league final berth with some 45 minutes to spare.

It was very easy once Clare broke free with good points from play by Jonathon Clancy, Diarmuid McMahon and John Conlon to lead by 0-5 to 0-2 by the 13th minute.

Carlow’s resolve bending – then it was broken ten minutes later when Clare followed up three more points via Conor McGrath, John Conlon and Colin Ryan with a 23rd minute goal. Conor McGrath was the provider when he raced in along the endline, crossed to Diarmuid McMahon who batted to the net from six yards.

After that, it was just a matter of what the winning margin would be – the gap was stretched to 14 by halftime as Clare outscored a hapless Carlow side by 0-8 to 0-2 in the closing ten minutes of the half.

It was exhibition stuff as Conor McGrath (2), Nicky O’Connell and Diarmuid McMahon hit points from play, while O’Connell’s eye was in from long range frees to pile on the misery and pile up a 1-15 to 0-4 interval lead.

Any notion that Clare might ease up in the second half was dispelled eight minutes in when Colin Ryan elected to drill a 21-yard free to the net past a forest of Carlow hurleys on the line, rather than take his point.

Put simply, Clare weren’t just happy to win pulling up – they were ruthless and went about obliterating the Barrowsiders in that second half as they racked up 3-13 as against Carlow’s meagre 0-4.

It was target practice, whether for points or goals as Clare moved 3-18 to 0-4 clear by the 52nd minute before Ruairi Dunbar opened Carlow’s account for the half – Clare’s third goal came 17 minutes in when Jonathon Clanchy drilled home from 12 yards.

Diarmuid McMahon brought his tally for the day to 2-4 from play with a goal in the 64th minute, while subs Sean Collins and Conor Tierney as well as the hugely impressive John Conlon and Nicky O’Connell also chipped in with points.

The end couldn’t come quick enough for Carlow – the next game can’t come quick enough for Clare. It’s always the case when you score big and win big.

ROUNDS three and four of the Connacht Competition Engines National Hillclimb and Sprint Championship took place in Ballyvaughan at the weekend. The co-promoted event by Clare and Galway motor clubs proved an outstanding success.

Fantastic sunny weather on both days and a large entry of 55 competitors for Saturday and 71 for Sunday made for a smooth running of the event.

Local man Sylvie Mullins stormed to victory in his Judd V8 powered Gould on the one-mile Corkscrew Hill with a time of 48.39 seconds which he achieved on his third run. Mullins smashing Simon McKinley’s hill record of 56.00 seconds which he set in 2010. Defending Champion Simon McKinley finished in second place while former Champion Frank Byrnes finished third.

The action moved to Ballyalban Hill on Sunday, where Simon McKinley put in a spectacular drive to finish the 2.2-mile course in only 93.56 seconds. again smashing his own hill record of 95.02 seconds, which he set in 2010. Frank Byrnes finished second with a time of 101.28 while Brendan Keane finished in third on 109.71 seconds.

Local ace Sylvie Mullins failed to make the start on Sunday as he sheared two gears on his Judd V8 powered Gould. Clare Motor Club were well represented in the results with John O’Sullivan finishing second in Class 8 in his Citroen C2 and Tony Tuttle finishing third in Class 9 in his Ford Escort on Saturday.

On Sunday’s Ballyallaban Hill, John O’Sullivan was the winner in Class 8 in his Citroen C2. Tom Ryan finished third in Class 8 in his Opel Corsa while Al Meaney finished second in Class 2 in his Suzuki Swift.

AFTER the defeat to Laois the last day out when they were done by a late goal from Willie Hyland, Clare manager Ger O’Loughlin wasn’t too downcast when addressing the media about where it all went wrong. No point letting off steam at his players in public must have been the ‘Sparrow’s’ mantra to himself things like that are best left in doors and all that. Anyway, there was always the Carlow game – another game to put it up to his players to produce the win needed to reach a second successive league final. Put it this way, losing to Laois made the outcome of this game very predictable, a focused Clare to atone for the Laois aberration. And, so it happened, with O’Loughlin full of praise for this charges as he looked ahead to a final joust with old enemy Limerick on Sunday week.

“They gave us a very hard game below in Dr Cullen Park, but with the big wide open spaces of Cusack Park, it makes a big difference when you’re playing the likes of Carlow,” he says to start.

“I thought overall we were way better than them on the day and it’s a case of bringing that and a lot more to the final against Limerick

“The boys were well-focused. We saw some great displays by some lads. It’s a work in progress – I keep saying that to people.

“As you can see there we have another three or four new lads – Pat O’Connor, Conor McGrath, Cathal McInerney. We have no other choice – they are the future and we have to keep progressing,” added O’Loughlin before admitting to the scale of the task his side faces against Limerick in the decider.

“It’s a rebuilding job and I just feel that it’s great to get back into the final now and hopefully we can do ourselves justice against Limerick. We didn’t do that in the first game in the league.

“We had an awful lot of hurling done before that game. We had three or four challenge matches and played Waterford Crystal and got a lot out of it. We were beaten by a stronger team on the day. They were better organised than us. I just hoping that the couple of weeks and the couple of matches might have brought us on.

“We have such youth on our team that you have to have them really focused on the day to get the best out of them. Sometimes you can’t put your finger on some of the displays, because we’re working hard in training and we’ve a great bunch of lads, but I don’t know whether it’s concentration of whether it’s something else.

“We just need to try and make sure that it’s right for the Limerick game,” O’Loughlin added.

DIARMAID Nash continued in his history-making vein of form on Saturday when he was crowned All-Ireland Intermediate Singles champion. The Tuamgraney clubman played out a classic final against Ruairi Kelly (Tyrone) in Roscommon, eventually coming through on a 21-16, 21-20 score.

In the first game, Nash built up an early 10-0 lead but it didn’t take long for the Red Hand to come into the game and, using an effective lob serve and pinpoint ceiling shots, clawed his way back into contention.

Nash’s early lead was too big a gap though and the Clareman always had a healthy lead, finishing strongly to win 21-16.

At the start of the second, Nash again raced ahead and went 8-1 up before Kelly again came back strongly. Using the tricky lob serve all the time, the Ulster champion was killing brilliantly in both corners and came back to 7-11 before Nash went on a good run of his own to lead 169.

Both players found it hard to make scores, such was the quality of handball played, and there were a number of fantastic rallies. Nash pushed on again, up 19-14. Kelly coming back again, 19-17, levels it at 20-20.

The All-Ireland title was hanging in the balance, but Nash showed no nerves and nailed the final serve of the day to seal it and crown a glori- ous year for the Clareman.

Munster Senior Open Singles Champion; All-Ireland Colleges Open Singles Champion; Munster and All-Ireland Intermediate Doubles Champion; and now Munster and All-Ireland Intermediate Singles Champion. Nash has had a fantastic season and Clare’s highest achieving handballer in a generation.

There was less success for the Banner County in the two other All-Ireland finals played on Saturday. In Junior Singles, Cathal Hannon was defeated by Wexford’s Paul Lambert. In another outstanding match, the Tulla man took it to the full three games but was defeated 12-21, 2119, 15-21 in Nenagh. John Cawley and Teddy O’Hanlon travelled to O’Loughlins, Kilkenny to play Kildare (Paul Ruane and Cyril Carr) in the Golden Masters B Doubles Final. Despite a great Clare showing in the first game, the Lilywhites moved up a gear in the second and third to win 18-21, 21-11, 21-12.

Ballina’s Fergal Collins secured the under 21 Singles title for Tipperary when he comfortably defeated Patrick Funchion (Kilkenny) 21-9, 21-13 in Carlow. Collins won under21 All-Irelands in both the big and small alley last year and will be favourite to do so again this year.

TUAMGRANEY Handball Club, one of the most famous and historic in the country, celebrates 100 years in existence this year. Since the building of the 60×30 alley in 1911 and the early thriving and flourishing of the club, through the glorious ‘70s with multiple All-Ireland and World Championship titles (and the addition of the 40×20 court) and on to the present day heroics of more provincial, national and world glory, the club has always been synonymous with high achievement and community involvement.

To mark the occasion of the centenary, the club will hold a gala handball weekend in July. The weekend will feature tournaments in both alleys, the unveiling of a commemorative monument, prize draws and a social event.

The roof of the 60×30 alley is also being renovated and a ‘club history’ will be published toward the end of the year.

Tuamgraney Handball Club has put together a special ‘Centenary Committee’ who have been working hard over recent weeks and months to make the occasion a success.

To launch the centenary year and to mark the fantastic Munster and AllIreland successes of Tuamgraney handballers in 2011, a social night will be held this Saturday (April 23) in Teach ui Bhriain, Tuamgraney. Music is by Hush and admission is free. There will be presentations by the club on the night as well as a raffle draw. All are welcome to come and celebrate.

To fund the renovation work on the 60×30, which will run to a cost of almost € 25,000, the club will run a number of fundraising events throughout the year. Also, a number of people have agreed to take part in a loan-share agreement whereby they will each give a loan of € 500 to Tuamgraney Handball Club which will be paid back in full, while all past and current club members have been invited to contribute with a donation of € 100. If you feel you can help in this regard, please don’t hesitate to contact any club officer or Centenary Committee member.

Clooney/Quin 1-15 – Broadford 1-15 at Clooney

CLOONEY/QUIN and Broadford were forced to take a share of the spoils as a winner couldn’t be decided in this Clare Cup game that was neck and neck throughout.

In a tight first half it was Clooney/ Quin who managed to get out in front going in at the break thanks to a goal that found the net off a Broadford hurley. A long ball in from Derek Ryan free ended up in the back of the net giving them a goal advantage.

The second half saw an exhibition of free taking as Derek Ryan converted ten on the day and Broadford’s Craig Chaplin was also on target hitting eight of his own. Clooney/Quin managed to gain the lead but a Niall Maloney goal swung the game back in Broadford’s favour. As the game came to a close, neither side could gain a commanding lead and the game ended in a draw.

Whitegate 3-11 – Clarecastle 1-12 at Clarecastle

THE EARLY bird did indeed catch the worm on Sunday morning as an alert Whitegate caught the sleepy home side napping to secure a vital first victory of the campaign. The east Clare side had an early start to travel to Clarecastle for the 12 noon throwin but it seemed to brace them for action as they pulled off an impressive victory, despite being without key regulars such as Eric Minogue, Tommy Holland, George Waterstone and Patrick Minogue.

The Magpies can have no complaints as once they were headed near the end of the first half, they failed to recapture the lead despite holding the wind advantage in the second period. That eventuality didn’t appear on the cards in the opening quarter as the home sie eased into a 1-2 to 00 lead after ten minutes, with Tyrone Kearse getting the goal through a 20 metre free which made up for his previous effort minutes earlier that bizarrely thundered off the crossbar from close range and ended up going out for a lineball.

A 16th minute volleyed goal from Niall Hayes injected some belief into the visitors and they were soon ahead in the 20th minute when Ian Fahy soloed through the heart of the Magpie rearguard before unleashing an unstoppable drive from 30 metres to the top corner of the net.

Clarecastle’s standout forward Kearse as well as Darragh Moloney and Patrick Kelly levelled up the game at 2-2 to 1-5 by the 23rd minute but by now Whitegate had the bit between their teeth and with Michael Dooley, Brendan Bugler and Christy Jones, stopping the Clarecastle supply, they finished the half strongly with successive points from Michael O’Brien (2) and Ian Fahy to lead by two at the break.

With the wind to come, the home side wouldn’t have been unduly worried at the break but despite the introduction of debutant Kieran O’Dwyer who was a physical presence around the centre as well as Sean Talty, the expected Magpie fightback never materialised.

The lively Kearse was unlucky with a pull that agonisingly drifted wide of the far post early in the half, a miss that was magnified when Terence Fahy doubled on an Andrew Fahey free in the 40th minute to give his side a 3-7 to 1-8 advantage.

That five point margin would remain more or less until the final whistle, aside from a brief recovery when Danny Scanlon had a shot repelled by Fahey while the follow up from substitute Sean Talty just going the wrong side of the crossbar. Two further goal chances from Kearse failed to billow the net while at the other end, Michael O’Brien capped off a memorable win for Whitegate with a late double.

Michael Dooley (Whitegate) Referee Ger Lyons (Ruan) Tubber 1-16 Cor ofin 3-07 @ Tubber TUBBER came out victorious against Corofin at home on Sunday hitting 1-1 without reply in the closing stages which put them ahead to seal the win. Tubber went four points to no score up early on but then a scrappy goal from a high ball into the Tubber area brought Corofin back into the game. More points from Mark Early and David O’Donoghue gave Tubber the advantage at the interval as they led, 0-7 to 1-3. Corofin got another goal early in the second half through Stephen Heagney as the ball managed to find to net through a group of players and

a similar goal from Declan Lee fol- lowed 15 minutes later.

Tubber stayed close with points coming from Shane and Barry O’Connor and Clive Early converting four frees. Then with two minutes remaining Barry O’Connor scored the goal that put Tubber ahead and Corofin failed to reply giving Tubber the win.

Newmarket 1-14 – Tulla 1-13 at Dr Daly Memorial Park, Tulla

TWO SIDES that would arguably claim to be a work in progress, with the assimilation of youth into the ranks seemingly the main priority in this evenly matched affair. A draw would have been the fairest result in a game that could have gone either way as evidenced in a tense finale on Sunday evening.

With the teams locked at 1-13 apiece drifting into injury-time, Tulla’s main attacking duo David McInerney and Andrew Quinn combined for what appeared to be the leading score for the recently crowned Fitzgibbon Cup winner but referee Ger Hoey disallowed it for a square ball. And in the next passage of play, it was David Barrett who punished at the other end to hand Newmarket a welcome first victory.

It was that close throughout however as the sides were locked on level terms no fewer than nine times over the hour. All that after James Liddy had given Newmarket the perfect start after 100 seconds with a solo goal after receiving a pass from David Barrett.

It failed to rock Tulla who were back on level terms within five minutes with points from Andy Quinn and a brace from Aidan Lynch who was causing the Blues some discomfort in the right corner. Indeed, from his opening attack, Lynch might have grabbed a goal had it not been for the reflexes of goakeeper Kieran Devitt who somehow tipped his effort over the bar. However, following replies from Martin O’Hanlon and a Colin Ryan free, Aidan Lynch did raise a green flag on his second attempt in the 11th minute with a trademark solo and shot from an acute angle.

Newmarket brought on Niall O’Connor to curb the rampaging forward and it had a settling effect as Colin Ryan converted two placed balls to put his side ahead once more at 1-5 to 1-4 by the 22nd minute.

Ryan’s move to centre-forward coincided with David McInerney’s switch to midfield for Tulla and both would dominate for their respective sides on the way to a half-time deadlock at 1-7 apiece.

Newmarket re-emerged the brighter side on the restart and appeared to be easing away from the home side with successive points from Ryan, substitute Darren O’Connor and Eoin Hayes while the latter also hit the side netting with a shot during the same period.

However, Tulla mustered up a recovery and four unanswered points followed, two from the stick of Andy Quinn at the turn of the final quarter to hold a precarious 1-11 to 1-10 advantage while Trevor Vaughan might have added a goal.

Crucially though, when required, it was county senior Ryan who stepped forward to lead his side with three placed balls in the closing stages in a duel with Quinn who levelled the game in the 58th minute with a free at 1-13 to 1-13.

It was shaping up to end as a draw but it wasn’t to be as events conspired to tip the balance in Newmarket’s favour and get them off the mark.
