the nab beat newtown by 7

newtown are struggling badly. and yes id agree with The GAA, it looks as though Maghery will not drop too many points and Whitecross have had a fantastic start. Although by all accounts Harps have several injuries, so the length of some of these will be a factor. If theres many long term and the way the top teams are picking up points it may well be an uphill struggle for promotion.

Things were always likely to get tough for Newtown - fair play to them for how they've done over the past few years but it was likely to be impossible to maintain. They just simply don't produce enough underage players to compete at senior level. They've probably been punching above their weight this past few years.

Grow up were only 4 games in!

And the Harps have dropped three or four points haven't they? Even more reason to back up GAA's point. It will be worrying for the Harps as has been proven over the last few years, it is a highly competitive division.

Hope the Harps come through, first division looks wrong without them.

Dromintee 2-06 Cullaville 0-10

[Real1995]

Mullaghbawn 1-10
Clans 0-09

Two more points in the bag....

Dromintee won by two, quite an entertaining game I must say.

We were down big numbers but the side played well and should have won by more. Micheal O Rourke was excellent and kicked 1-05 out of 2-06.

Cullaville could have had a penalty in the sixth minute of injury time, was down the other side of the field but looked like a penalty to me to be honest, we'll not complain though.

I think for once we'll not be worrying about relegation.

Any other results?

Maghery beat the bridge by 7 or 8, we played the second half with 14.

St Pat's 1-10 Sarsfields 0-9

Good win away from home particularly given the start we made. Sarsfields were 0-4 to no score up after 10 / 15 minutes and we looked in serious trouble. They actually could have been even further ahead were it not for an outstanding save from Conor O'Neill. We only started to play a bit of football after 15 minutes. Ciaran O'Hare had a couple of goal cahnces and scored 1-1 to get us back into the game. Liam O'Hare also scored a nice point after a good move. Went in level at half time. We started to pull away in the second half as we began to dominate midfield. Kieran Hoey came on and got a point, Eugene Casey also got a couple of scores. We looked fairly comfortable heading into the last few minutes but Sarsfield had a couple of great chances, hitting the bar once and the inside of the post a couple of minutes later which could have gotten Sarsfields right back into the match. Its fair to say we deserved the points though. Best for Cullyhanna were Ciaran O'Hare, Eoin McArdle and Barry McConville I thought. Richie Stevenson looked dangerous for Sarsfields though we got to grips with him in the second half.

cruppen lost by 5 to pearse ogs. think it was 2-10 to 11 points. Only 16 outfield players available, struggling desperately with injuries.

Annaghmore beat collegeland 2-7 to 0-5 today.  Annaghmore were 2-1 to no score up within 5 minutes, it was a fairly even game after that.  Not a great performance from the ref imo who let too much go to the point where he seemed to have lost control of the game before half time

Tipped on down to Killeavy this evening to take in the would be close league encounter between Killeavy and Cross. Should have stayed at home.

Killeavy 0-08 Crossmaglen 3-13

The scoreline was made in some way respectable by some late Killeavy attacks after Cross took their foot off the pedal and made a few changes (and when I say respectable I mean only slightly better than absolutely horrendous)

This game was over in the first 15 minutes. I think Cross were up by 12 at that stage. Absolutely horrible performance from Killeavy, they completely lay down from the beginning with many of them showing about as much fight as a semi-fit Michael Owen in Villa Park. They are gonna struggle this year no doubt. Have to say some of the direction from the sideline (the little that there was) was completely inept. Only saving grace for Killeavy this year I imagine is the amount of equally bad teams there seems to be in the league.

Wetn down myself. Very one-sided.

Pity big Duffy is managing instead of playing, could have put him in and he would have done a lot better.

Bar Gary Rell Killeavy were very poor.

That said Cross were excellent, Franics Hanratty was MOTM, I think he hit 1-4 from play from the middle. The intensity of the Cross tackling was superb. There forwards are better tacklers than most other team's defenders.

Not a Cross fan but in full flight they are great to watch.
