In the Minor Hurling Championship The South/East Down team beat Portaferry 2-11 to 0-01. Good to see the the lads from outside the Ards putting it up to the Ards clubs. Big win. Liatroim & Bredagh lads were to the fore. Just shows that hurling outside the Ards isn't dead.

Is there a shortage of refs in many counties? In Down most adult football & hurling games are covered ok and it's rare for a ref not to turn up. At juvenile levels it not too bad either but its the same auld faces knocking their pans in doing 6-7 games a week.  In ladies football & camogie there seems to be a real shortage of refs and ofter team managers referee. What's it like in other counties.

I have to say it's something I would never consider doing myself. It must be very lonely on the pitch by yourself when you've called something wrong and the supporters and players are all giving you dogs abuse. I've better things to do with my time.

Well done Bryansford. It would have been bad luck it you had been relegated this year. Its down to one game between Liatroim and Annaclone. Liatroim should have too much for their neighbours.
Good luck to Bredagh this afternoon in Clones, Down's only remaining contender in Ulster. The whole county is behind you (except Flat Hedgehog and No 1).

I'm with you on this one Guy Crouchback! let's form an orderly mob and hunt the pervert down!! Does any one no where we might start looking for the bastard? Should we lynch a few randoms just to smoke him out. I notice he's been in hiding since late last night.
I wouldn't want to be involverd in anything too violent but if we could make him cry a bit I'm sure everyone would be satisfied.

WE'RE COMING TO GET YOU ITOB! (the dirty photographer)

I'd a bit of bother transfering across to this board.
Any word on the county convention? Any clubs putting up motions? Who's standing for the various positions.
Does Kevin Bell have more support than Jerry Quinn in the race to be Chairman?  There may be another strong candidate.
Seamus Walsh is going for County Secretary. He's done a very good job with fixtures since he took the job on.
Dermot Stewart is standing down as hurling fixtures secretary. He's done a good job too.
Brian McAvoy is standing down as hurling chairman.
Diamuid Cahill is "concidering his position" as PRO due to work commitments.

Shamrocks are putting forward a motion to restructure the IHC into a round robin competition. Any other news/rumours?
