Bridge United entertain TEK

AFTER a two-week break from action for the Christmas holiday period, there is a full schedule of games listed for decision in Clare soccer this weekend.

The majority of clubs haven’t had a competitive game in six weeks, as inclement weather conditions led to the cancellation of many games in November and December. Weather conditions will determine whether or not this weekend’s list of fixtures will go ahead.

Bridge United will be hoping to take another step in the FAI Junior Cup race when they face TEK from the Leinster League in a fifth-round tie that is scheduled for Sixmilebridge on Sunday at 2pm.

A final decision on the venue will be made closer to match time and the game may switch to the County Grounds. There will be extra time and penalties, if needed.

In the Premier League, Rhine Rovers, Connolly Celtic A, Burren United, Mountshannon Celtic and Newmarket Celtic A are due to have home games this week against Ennis Town Rock A, Tulla United A, Lifford A, Avenue United A and Hermitage A.

In the first division, Bridge Celtic will have Inch Crusaders as visitors, Moher Celtic will have home advantage against Shannon Olympic A, Turnpike Rovers will entertain Bunratty-Cratloe, while Newmarket Celtic B will entertain Avenue United B.
