Inagh/Kilnamona 1-15 – Newmarket-on-Fergus 1-12 at Fr Murphy Memorial Park, Newmarket

THE SURPRISE of the opening round as Inagh/Kilnamona travelled to Newmarket and came away with both points on Sunday. It’s seven years since Newmarket had been beaten in the opening round of the Clare Cup but having blazed an early trail in recent years before the flames went out in the business end of the season, perhaps it isn’t such a bad thing to gradually get into their stride as the Clare Cup develops this year.

In truth, while it was always close, Inagh/Kilnamona did appear much sharper on the ball throughout, although it was Newmarket who drew first blood when Enda Kelly received a pass on the overlap to grab the opening goal of the game. With Colin Ryan sustaining an injury the previous day while on county senior duty, his influence, especially on the scoreboard, was missed and Inagh/ Kilnamona capitalised when a backto-front move led to a well worked goal for Conor Tierney on their way to a 1-9 to 1-6 interval advantage.

The second half was equally as tight but with Inagh/Kilnamona leading by three in injury-time, Newmarket were awarded a penalty with what was to prove the last puck of the game. County senior James McInerney stepped up but substitute Stephen Toomey was equal to his effort and it was enough to give his side the perfect start to the season.

CLARE will face the Kilkenny youths in this year’s Interleague Youths Cup semi-final in Kilkenny on Sunday and The Cla re People

CLARE ARE now top of the Division 3 table after six rounds and will play second placed Fermanagh in the final round on Saturday at a Clare venue at 4.45pm.

Clare were disappointed at the news on Sunday morning of a walk over from Longford. Longford are bottom of the table without any points and are scheduled to travel to Limerick for the final round on Sunday.

With the top four teams contesting the finals on April 16/17 Clare’s most likely opponents for their most important game to date this year will be either Down, Wicklow or Leitrim.

The two teams that qualify for the final will be promoted to Division 2 so in reality the importance of the semi-final exceeds that of the final.

Clare and Fermanagh last met in Croke Park in the TG4 All Ireland Intermediate Final in September 2009 while in that same campaign Clare travelled to Fermanagh to play them in the group stages with victory going to Clare on both of these occasion’s.

Much has changed in both campaigns with some players leaving and more players joining both county panels since then.

Regardless of the outcome on Saturday both sides are through to the semi-finals so maybe the respective managements may use the opportunity to try out some fringe players.

St Senans R FC 20 Cobh Pirat es R FC 10 ST Senan’s ensured they will be playing Junior 1 rugby again next year as they were victorious in this bottom of the table clash with Cobh on a score line of 20-10. It was Senan’s who made the first break through with some good power play from their pack that made way for Brian Collins to claim the first try of the game. The conversion by Declan Collins was struck well and opened up a 7-0 lead for the home side. The game continued at a frantic pace from the restart with both sides making errors and neither side being able to take control, Senans lead was short lived when on 20 minutes Cobh crossed the try line and leveled the scores at 7-7.

A penalty after 27 minutes was easily converted and gave the visitors a 10-7 lead at half time.

Senan’s started the second half well and this pressure was rewarded 10 minutes into the half when Ronan O’Callaghan ran in for Senan’s second try. Declan Collins was on target with the kick. Senan’s led 14-10.

Senans kept the pressure on the visitors and when the ball was presented back to Declan Collins in front of Cobh’s goals he extended Senans lead to 17-10 with a well struck drop goal after 30 minutes.

Cobh tried hard to breach Senans defence but they were not able to break through and it was Senans who had the last score of the match deep in extra time when Ger McNamara converted a penalty.

MEETING at 6.30 in the morning is typically a burden for most. This however was not the case last Saturday morning for the Ennis RFC under 11’s. All 47 travelling players were at the meeting point well in advance of the coach leaving. Indeed this set the tone for the day.

For most this was their inaugural Rugby Tour. The excitement was palpable. We were bringing 3 teams to play in one of the country’s premier Mini Rugby Festivals in Willow Park with some 55 teams battling it out, on 14 pitches. This includes top school sides from Dublin, and representatives from the four provinces.

We duly arrived for registration at 9.30 and were ready to go at 10.30 for our first games. In the morning our teams were pitched against Wexford and Boyne in the A section (each played twice), and two further teams against De la Salle, Willow Park, St Michaels and Castlepark, Willow Park and Aravon in the B section of the competition.

This indeed was a very competitive and tough tournament with outstanding displays from all teams. The Festival itself does not determine overall winners yet encourages participation in a competitive environment.

The afternoon series of matches saw Ennis against St Marys, Tullamore and Colraine in the A section, Corinthians, Ul Bohs, Willow Pk and Barnhall, St Mary’s and Rahaelty in the B section.

All in all we played 19 matches re- cording 11 victories and two draws. This was a very impressive return during the day, and reflects the high level of expectation set by this bunch of players and coaches, and indeed the progress made this year. Amongst these victories there were numerous outstanding displays with Ronan Lannigan (top try scorer), Liam Wall, Ross O Flaherty, Tom O Brien, Morgan Garry, Turlough Barrett, Oisin Mangan, Frank Roche and Ben O Donnell deserving special mention.

Events continued in the National Aquatic Centre after and those of us that expected a quiet bus on the return to Ennis were deeply mistaken. A true rugby tour with plenty of fun, laughter.

A great day was had by all and the coaching body want to thank the parents for their support in this event with many driving to Dublin to support the event. This is a significant endorsement for all involved.

St Joseph’s Doora/Barefield 3-11 – Smith O’Brien’s 2-12 at O’Garney Park, Sixmilebridge

A LESSON in finishing and composure as St Joseph’s made the most of their scoring chances to advance to the semi-finals. Defensive errors allowed Doora/Barefield to raid for two opportunistic first half goals in the space of five minutes and it had a huge bearing on the game as therafter, Smith O’Brien’s concentrated all their efforts on obtaining goals instead of picking off their points which proved a costly error in the end.

Much credit must go to St Joseph’s back seven as much as their attack for this latest result for stopping three 20 metre frees as well as smothering numerous attacks over the hour. Central to that miserly rearguard was Alan O’Neill who had a superb hour for the Parish at the centre of the defence and the Killaloe side found it extremely difficult to curb his influence.

A much more physical St Joseph’s side started the brighter, pulling 0-3 to 0-1 clear by the fifth minute through Shane O’Connor (2) and Jarlath Colleran. Smith O’Brien’s eventually settled and upon taking the lead solely through the stick of Kevin Walsh, they appeared to be taking control of the game before being hit with the first sucker-punch in the 20th minute.

An Alan O’Neill long range free wasn’t cleared and the ball broke inside for Ian Lyons to instinctly kick past onrushing goalkeeper Jason Monaghan for the opening goal. Micheál Ryan pulled a point back immediately for Smith O’Brien’s but they were soon on the backfoot once more when Niall Collin’s innocuous effort from 30 metres bounced past Monaghan to extend St Joseph’s lead at 2-5 to 0-5.

That six point advantage was maintained at the break (2-6 to 0-6) after Kevin Walsh’s 20 metre free was stopped while Ben Hynes follow-up drifted wide and there was futher frustration on the resumption as a Micheál Ryan 20 metre free was saved by Mikey Roseingrave while Luke Hession also had a goal opportunity but failed to connect with an aerial pull.

That obsession with finding the net certainly hampered Smith O’Brien’s and the difference in finishing was magnified when St Joseph’s hit on the counter-attack for Barry Millane to grab a third goal in the 41st minute.

Again Smith O’Brien’s rallied but had another Walsh 20 metre free stopped before finally making the breakthrough in the 44th minute through substitute Christopher Monaghan. However, St Joseph’s stubborn defence ensured that the margin would remain at five until another substitute Barry Power scored a consolation goal for Smith O’Brien’s with the last puck of the game. It is St Joseph’s who march on however and they will now play Ballyea in the semi-final in two week’s time.

Ballyea 2-19 – Tubber 1-10 at Ruan

BALLYEA are closing in on another under 21 title, two years after they last won the title in this grade. Standing in their way in the semi-final are St Joseph’s Doora-Barefield after the black and amber scored a comprehensive over disappointing Tubber side on Saturday afternoon.

All down to new county minor captain Tony Kelly, who followed up his virtuoso performance in the first round when his tally of 2-10 put reigning champions Wolfe Tones to the sword with another man-of-thematch display.

This time the midfielder accounted for 1-10, with his brilliant 28th minute goal putting Ballyea on the road to victory. That strike, from a very difficult angle, followed up three earlier points and helped Ballyea forge a 1-9 to 0-6 interval lead.

Up to that point it was an even affair with Tubber, thanks to the immense display of Patrick O’Connor at centre-back stayed in the ball game. O’Connor hit five of Tubber’s first half total from frees, Ballyea never looked back after Kelly’s strike.

They were the more evenly balanced team, with Niall Deasy’s contribution of 0-5 from play being also crucial to their cause as they eased to a 12-point win. Points by Conor Clancy and Patrick O’Connor from play early in the second half did reduce the margin to four points, while O’Connor’s goal in the 37th put the game back in the melting pot once more as the margin was down to two points.

However, from there Ballyea kicked on once more as points from Deasy, Paul Flanagan and Cathal Doohan by the 40th settled them once more, while Kelly resumed his scoring spree in the last 15 minutes when adding five more to his total.

Any lingering hopes Tubber may have had of launching a last-ditch rally were extinguished on 55 minutes when Paudge McMahon struck for Ballyea’s second goal as they stretched their lead into double figures.

Wolfe Tones 1-16 – Tulla 2-13 at Shannon

A LONG RANGE free from Bobby McPhilips deep into injury time was enough to give Wolfe Tonnes a share of the spoils in a closely fought first round match in Shannon on Sunday.

A stunning goal from Tulla’s Daniel O’Halloran with five minutes remaining looked to have given the east Clare side the perfect start to this year’s league campaign, until McPhilips stepped up to tie the match with his long range leveller.

In truth, it would have been rough justice had the Tones lost this match after leading for most of the afternoon’s hurling. The Shannon sides raced into an early lead thanks to a 12th minute goal from Aaron Cunningham and some good scores from Gareth McPhilips and Ronan Hehir.

The Senior B champions were not be overawed however and were still very much in contention at half time thanks to a goal form Mike Murphy and points from Brian Lynch, Aidan Lynch, Andrew Quinn and Raymond Steward.

After coming in just 1-8 to 1-6 down at half time, the east Clare side were within a score of Wolfe Tones for the rest of the match and good second half points from David McInerney, Andrew Quinn, Ciaran Brennan and Dan O’Halloran insured thet they would take something home with them from their opening day trip to Shannon.

Clarecastle 3-14 – Broadford 0-09 at Clarecastle

CLARECASTLE were blowing off the cobwebs while Broadford were getting tangled in theirs as this Clare Cup opener ended in a rather lopsided manner. The 14 point margin eclipsed the sides’ championship encounter last summer but in actuality it was a much closer game than the scoreline reflected.

The difference on the day was in terms of pace and finishing. Clarecastle were sharp out of the blocks and economical in their shooting while Broadford showed a typical opening day rustiness and indeed had enough chances both below and above the crossbar to win two games on their way to a whopping 18 wides total.

Clarecastle’s attacking triumvirate centred around Jonathan Clancy, Tyrone Kearse and Aaron Considine who injected added pace and guile to the attack and hence all contributed handsomely to the scoreboard.

The writing was on the wall as early as the first quarter when the home side built up a 1-5 to 0-1 advantage with Aaron Considine the chief marksman with 1-2. The goal was a well worked move involving Clancy, Kearse and Danny Scanlon who picked out the run of the unmarked Considine in the centre to finish to the net from close range.

Broadford improved as the half went on but were continually frustrated by slow striking, a plethora of missed goal opportunities and the fact that Clarecastle were able to quickly cancel out their scores on their way to a half-time lead of 1-8 to 0-4.

A similar pattern continued after the break with Broadford attempting to spark a recovery but ultimately impeded by their own profligacy, alowing Clarecastle to play within themselves and match whatever fightback was thrown at them.

With the result beyond doubt, Clarecastle finished the job with two final sucker-punch goals that Tyrone Kearse provided, first being in the right place to take advantage of a penetrating Garry Farmer delivery and then in the final minute, he controlled and finished an Eric Flynn crossfield pass to wrap up the points.

Broadford will have to learn quickly if they are to consolidate their position in the top flight of the Clare Cup.

KILKENNY will be favourites to beat Clare in Sunday’s Inter-League Youths semi-final, but Banner boss Mike Moloney says that travelling to the Marble City holds no fears.

And why not! Clare go into the game on the back of a hugely impressive 5-1 demolition of Galway in the quarter-final. Galway were defending champions before being shot down in Tulla’s Cragg. Now for more of the same in Kilkenny.

“Maybe some people feel the quarter-final win came out of the blue,” says Moloney, “but it was a game we prepared well for. It was a reflection of the work that the lads have done.

“We had a trial run in Tulla at the end of November against Galway when we came out of it with a draw. That gave us the confidence to compete. We felt we had worked hard in the intervening time. We didn’t see a 5-1 coming, but we knew we’d be good enough if we got the breaks on the day. It’s a matter of seeing if we can do it again and reach the final.”

It won’t be for the want of preparation. Preparation has been a byword for this group of players, not just this year but over a number of years as Moloney deflects praise by pointing to the job of journeywork being undertaken at grassroots and underage level in the county.

“We have 12 or 13 games under our belts between competitive and friendly games. That’s the type of volume of games you need if you’re going to build up something with a group of players that would only have known about playing against each other,” he says.

“There is a certain amount of experience of them being involved in emerging talent development squads from under 11 to under 16. We have been trying to develop that and build a relationship and spirit.

“We can take confidence from the fact that we know we have prepared well. We can also take confidence from the performance against Galway. In that sense we are going down there with confidence, but we’re not under any illusions about what we’re going to face.

“It’s a reflection of the work the clubs are putting in at underage level, thanks to improved facilities. There is great unseen work going on there.

“It’s also a reflection on the work that Denis Hynes is doing with the Emerging Talent Programme. They are now going into a structure whereby they taken from under 11 right up to under 16. You’d expect that there’d be a decent group of players coming through,” Moloney adds.

It’s this infrastructure that will see a confident Clare make the long journey. Quietly confident like they were against Galway the last day out.

“The sense is that when you get to a semi-final of a national competition, that there aren’t any poor sides left. Kilkenny have won the four games they’ve played so far. I had a chance to look at them when they played South Tipp about six weeks ago. I was very impressed – the speed of the game, how quickly they moved it, how they played a lot of ball to feet. We know we’re in for a hell of a game.

“The fact that we have to travel adds a little bit extra. I would see that as something we have a chance to build off. The travelling is an additional thing you factor in as being part of the day – that can be a good thing, for guys to meet early in the day, get on the bus, stop along the way, get all your preparations right and just arrive their in the right frame of mind to put in a good performance.”

NIALL MALONE and Diarmaid Nash are into the All-Ireland Intermediate Doubles final after victory in their All-Ireland Intermediate Doubles semi-final on Sunday. The Tuamgraney pair, playing in their home court, eventually won through on a 21-19, 21-19 score after Roscommon duo Chris Doolin and Niall McGrath put up a strong challenge.

The Clare pair will play Kilkenny’s Nicholas Anthony and Brian Manogue in the All-Ireland final on the weekend of April 2/3 while Nash is still also in the hunt for the Intermediate Singles title. He takes on Mayoman Stephen Cooney in Claremorris this Sunday in the All-Ireland semifinal. Cooney is himself an accomplished handballer and Nash will have it all to do to keep his bid for an Intermediate All-Ireland double alive.

John Cawley plays his re-arranged All-Ireland Golden Masters B Singles semi-final against Galway’s Denis Phelan in Shannon on Wednesday night. Shannon is also the venue for an All-Ireland semi-final doubleheader this Saturday.

The Loughnane sisters Paula and Sarah take on Ciara and Clodagh McMenamin in Ladies Junior B Doubles while Cathal Hannon plays the Junior singles semi-final against Roscommon man Denis Creaton.

This weekend also sees the All-Ireland juvenile finals take place. Clare are involved in no less than seven finals and the action takes place in Roscommon Saturday and Sunday and in Crinkle on Saturday.
