Was Maghery manager not part of the management team at Clonoe? Also is he related to Kevin?

Cassidy managed us to win 2008 championship. On his return from Derry he took us to the county final 2011 where we lost by one fecking point. Big Sean was his assistant, he went to Maghery last year. Big Sean would know his football.

So it's Big Joe V Big Sean tonight? Will Big Sean lead his men to a Big Shock? Will Big Joe lead his men to another Big win? It'll be a big night for one of the two big men!

Innovative Coaching Clinic not to be missed!   

All GAA coaches and managers are always looking to gain that extra edge on their opponents, searching for that latest training craze or fad, touring the country to seminars, conferences and courses in pursuit of an increase to their coaching knowledge. 

On Saturday November 9th 2013, Steven Poacher, Head of PE in St Columbans Kilkeel will give you that opportunity with the "St Columbans GAA Coaching Clinic." The focus of the clinic will look at tackling and the implications of the black card when coaching the tackle. 

On the day coaches will have the opportunity to observe a practical outdoor session labelled "Tackling for Success" which will include 10 different exclusive tackling drills and games demonstrated by a panel of players. After the practical session coaches will then have an opportunity to avail of the expert opinion of last years Down and Armagh senior football team captains, Mark Poland & Ciaran Mc Keever respectively who will give a unique insight into the implications of the black card which is sure to cause a lot of controversy in its implementation. 

The previous coaching clinics hosted by the school were a huge success and indeed when held this time last year over 80 coaches from every county in the province attended a hugely successful day at the school in Kilkeel. 

The event is open to all coaches of any age level be it school, club or county or any code as the games and drills on show will be easily transferrable to both Camogie and Hurling. The day commences at 10am and will finish at approximately 12.30pm on the Saturday morning 9th November and the cost of the day is £10 which can be made payable on the day and includes, tea/coffee and an information booklet. It's certainly an information packed morning not to be missed and proceeds from the day will go towards the development of GAA within the school. For more information or to confirm a place please either text or mail Steven Poacher on 07779780919 or stevepoacher@hotmail.com.

Maghery had Cross rattled in the last ten minutes of the first half.Pity they couldn't keep it going in the second half.

What's this now?

Enjoyed last night, a good test for a depleted Cross, Maghery will probably rue a few chances early on but I thought they were excellent to come back from 6 pts down to enter half time level.

From their perspective halftime probably came too soon as they had their tails up at that stage and Cross were starting to lose focus a bit getting involved with handbags etc. It was telling that Maghery stayed on the pitch to let Cross go in first to avoid potential fisticuffs in the tunnel, usually it is Cross that do that!

The second half wasn't as good as the first, Maghery showed inexperience conceding silly scorable frees as well as having other frees moved in for petulance, criminal if you're to have any chance of beating Cross. This inevitably led to them having a 4/5 point cushion that they were never really going to relinquish in the final ten. Maghery had a genuine shout for a penalty turned down and instead a free out given; thems the kind of breaks that Cross seem to always get but as they say you make your own luck. Can't see them beat in the final in any case, not sure how they'll progress in Ulster though.

The incident at the end was never a penalty. The big no.14 got the ball, turned and the second he felt contact just fell to the ground. Better team won.
