Scarriff

Yes.

Isn't it great that Scariff and Fecal can produce such festivals? Yes.

And I

mean, we always have Aoife Hayes in with us on the Saturday that we're going live from Scariff Harbour Festival.

And, you know, each one supports everybody else, you know, because they don't overlap in any way.

They're totally different.

So she, to keep me at it then she, I suppose, cajoled Father Hogan.

I remember at a, at a festival in Scariff, Father Hogan come, this is just before I went to Flanagans.

And Father Hogan come, coming over to me, like, and shaking my hands, "We need you in the band now, Ed.

We need flute players in the band, you know." I'm sure my mother put him up to it, you know.

On a brighter note, the race for the Cannon Hamilton intensifies as the last eight ties get underway this weekend.

Can the Townies hit the right tones? Can Clara Scariff or Cracklow upset the seeds? All to be revealed.

The draws for the adult football championships also took place after St. Joseph's-Durbarfield proved they weren't afraid of the dark or Corifin after extra time in their senior playoff.

But first, we initiate the countdown for the start of the new Clare's soccer season.

Airoa came strong at the end and without their talisman, I suppose, to get Mark back in the last round, that gave them a huge boost to the younger players that have come in and have the firepower.

on the Clooney side, I probably referenced it all year, they're not balanced to their team, they're not only dependent on Ryan and Peter, they have so many marking players up front and this is going to be, I think this is going to be a seriously high scoring game, it's going to be a shootout.

I know they met in the quarter-final, we referenced it there a few weeks ago, they met in the quarter-final in 23 and I think Scariff got over the line after extra time on the wet day and tied in the pack.

So, yeah, look there's nothing between these two teams and I suppose either of the two teams were fancy beating each other and I suppose there was a bit of an East Care derby vibe to this as well and it's going to be a cracking game to kick off the quarter-final weekend which is probably the best weekend in Care Club Championship hurling and I'm sure there'll be huge crowds in Tewley Park on Saturday and there'll also be big crowds at the game for the relegation also.

But a tough game today against Clarecastle and Clarecastle haven't been quite going as well.

Beaten by Tulla, you'll remember, in one of the early games that we covered this year on Scariff Bay Community Radio.

We were in Tulla earlier and we saw Whitegate at the very death come back with a goal against which levelled the game and drew with Milik in a game that Milik really looked like they were going to lose, or they were going to win, and Whitegate, having dominated things earlier, came back in the game.

Anyway, we're almost ready now to join our commentators.
