Sports Preview - 13th March

0:00And we're finishing out the show by looking ahead to the weekend sport. I did mention earlier we've two live games here on Claire FM and join us to look ahead to those on the rest of the weekend's action is Derek Lindt. Derek, good morning. Good morning. Which game would you like to start with? Choice is yours. Right. Let's start with Sunday, I guess, because it's a pivotal game from a clear perspective in the division three campaign. It'll, you know, there's a crucial 70a period coming up here. Either things get out of our hands on Sunday evening. If we lose to Vexord or else you're going to slay go off the back of other results saying here's an opportunity. So it's just simply a massive weekend. But whatever else happens across the country, probably primarily in the other music park in Mollongar, but that way it's made a memory game clear. Just have to get these two points and then turn on the phones afterwards. See what happens elsewhere and look at the prism that you're watching that the following week through. And look, isn't it lovely? All the permutations for any team here. Your team still to be in the mix explained to us maybe a little bit more detail. That situation and how likely Paul Madden side are to continue their good form would win at home to

1:03Vexord, where Vexord in the division three table currently. Are they also in the hunt? Yeah, they're also in the hunt there. And I suppose they have Westmeat at home in the last game. So they will still have a fighting chance if things go right for them this weekend. Like they're only up from division four, the same as Limerick and, um, but still not out of it yet, but clear, probably in the stronger position because if they can get to 10 points and with Westmeat's dropping one more, I will have beaten, uh, Vexford, you know, that are the other real dangers. It would look good from a clear point of view. So there's a lot of ways that this can still play out. The one, I suppose the one certainty is the clear and I'll say it from the other side of the table. Other teams don't have that comfort. So, uh, it's a case of, yeah, we can still get the 10 points. Hopefully score difference once copper is for a third year running, which would be a signal altogether, but it's just the case of get the two points on Sunday. As I say, move forward in and it's a tough game to follow weekend against LIGO of America, which perks. So you take the opportunity for granted up there, particularly the way the weather is. It'll be a right-hold battle and, uh, yeah, it's just you have to do it now this week.

2:03Have to do it this week. Okay. Hopefully they can, as I say, keep the winning form going, um, kickstarting the monster under 24-ball championship, tipper area, the visitors to Quilty. So a short journey for you. Yes. Tomorrow, by the way, thanks for scoping my mileage there. Sorry. I know, uh, to be fair, I can call to my front gate, turn left and stick the car into neutral and get down the road. So it's grand, um, yeah, it's a big game. It's a tough game. It's clear as only home game. And it's a new look squad, uh, Dermacotlin told us during the week. He has only four starters from the team to play the new in last year in that, uh, that game in the final round. So it's a very much new look team. But that's why he's the best man of the job because the rest of dinner miners that are coming to the ranks that he would have put through his hands in the last three or four years. So he's openly admitting, yeah, it's a rebuild job for these first year or two in this. But it's amazing where this phase one can open up like that. Claire guaranteed four games minimum, whatever way it happens. If they don't qualify for phase two, well, then they play off in the B final. So that's your fourth game after your three round robin games.

3:05And there are two tough trips away. You're going to let me brine in water for just outside don't get off in there on the second day. And then you go to Mount Collins, which is probably the most south easterly point of Limerick. Uh, to go on the tour game. So it's very, very important. But this temporary team would have caused clear problems at minor level. So how do you evolve this? Well, since then, you know, the two or three years can make an awful difference. So it's going to be a tough game, but good to clear. We'll have it at home. I suppose good that there probably will be a breeze and quilting. I'm not any way I met here and employee, but I can tell you there will likely be a breeze and quilting. So about how they use that in the conditions and stuff like that. So yeah, it should be a good one. Okay. What else do people be aware of this weekend? Yeah, there's a good number of it. So obviously the Kamogi play in Park is all here on Saturday. It's great to see the game in there. You know, somebody should tell some Sunday game analysts that it's been played in a big venue. So there's not need to be given out. And it's a big game for Claire win and they're into the won't be final. And as well as that, just to give them the plug, they'll be hoping for a big, big day, because I know tomorrow night in the grove at eight o'clock, they have their annual race,

4:07nice fundraiser as well. So they'll be hoping all the players are managing to be hidden there in a very buoyant mood after beating down, which they should, you know, they got a great win over the last time I was down, wouldn't be at Claire's level, you'd hope. So that should be in there. And also, it's just we just got confirmation that actually this game has been moved from tober Claire to the center of excellence in beacon, just outside knock. The all iron and senior D football schools semi our final between rice college and largy of monohen who are facing an ice trip down the road for that one. Huge opportunity here, like a clear team in an all iron football final is a fantastic occasion. So today in such a school and printing on e then all the crew there, we wish them all the best to look. We'll hear from them a little bit later on this evening and sideline view. This is the title that's been a point one, maybe four years ago, I think, no, at this stage. So for another clear team to win, it will be fabulous. Okay, brilliant stuff and make sure you check outside line view later this evening and Derek and the lads work across the two live games this weekend as well. Derek, thank you.
