Weekend Club previews and fixtures

By Shane Stapleton

Laois and Carlow are eyeing the big time this week.

Paddy Durcan narrowly missed out on an All-Ireland but he wants to get back in the hunt.

But first comes the provincial road, for which Pauric Mahony, Seadna Morey, Aidan Harte and Aidan Walsh are also gearing up.

Each weekend brings with it novel stories and anecdotes. New match-ups, recent or old rivalries.
Players that we enjoy during the summer with their county are now battling it out with their childhood friends.
Others that have set the standard in one code — a Jamie Barron or a Keith Higgins — are currently lighting the torch in the other.

Each weekend brings with it novel stories and anecdotes. New match-ups, recent or old rivalries. Players that we enjoy during the summer with their county are now battling it out with their childhood friends. Others that have set the standard in one code — a Jamie Barron or a Keith Higgins — are currently lighting the torch in the other. There's always something happening in the AIB Club Championships.

Rangers, United and Rovers are all in action this weekend but it’s not the FA Cup draw, it’s the All-Ireland club football championships. Carbery Rangers travel to Monaleen of Limerick after winning a maiden Cork title, with Tipperary football star Robbie Kiely part of the set-up.

Borris-Kilcotton v Rathdowney-Errill

A battle of amalgamations. Borris-In-Ossory and Kilcotton had to let go of storied pasts in order to rubberstamp their coming-together in early 2011. But Borris hadn’t been in a final since 1978, hadn’t won a title since ‘72, while Kilcotton had to go back to the ‘20s for glory.

Ballyea v Clonlara

Ballyea have only ever once made a Clare senior final and that was in 2003 when Anthony Daly’s Clarecastle beat them by nine points. The black and amber side have one surviving player from that clash — a then 17-year old wing-forward named Kevin Sheehan — who is now the goalie. Ballyea have four hurling and five football Banner panellists at inter-county level, including 2013 Hurler of the Year Tony Kelly and 2016 All Star nominee Gary Brennan. They have also benefitted from the isolated player rule as Damien Burke and Pearse Lillis have come from Cooraclare where there is no hurling side, likewise Stan Lineen, Martin O’Leary and David Egan from Kilmihil, along with Cathal Doohan and Ryan Griffin of Lissycasey. Clonlara beat 2014 champions Cratloe in the semi-final and are hoping to go one better than last year when they were beaten by Sixmilebridge. They have a stack of inter-county class in Colm Galvin, Darach Honan, Oisin O’Brien, John Conlon, Cathal ‘Tots’ and Nicky O’Connell, along with Domhnall and Cormac O’Donovan.
