Has Harte left Louth?

There is more chance than a Ross Carr and the Red Devlin partnership taking Kilcoo than Harte and Dooher , don't listen to such crap

Don't you start be jealous of Kilcoo once again getting better management than your home club (Burren).. I am going off what I was told from a reliable enough source.. but sure yet again your never wrong are you?

Mickey Harte and Brian Dooher co-joining to become new Kilcoo management.. be another big pay cheque there. Sounds like Mickey will take the reins and Dooher will be stepping in as a dual manager along with Tyrone.

also heard this!! think it will be confirmed in the upcoming few days

.....unless Kilcoo are going to hire out a helicopter!
Don't think you have thought this through logically. It's a 180 mile round trip from Doohers house to kilcoo pitch. There's zero chance of him taking that job. He's not a mercenary, has a great job as a vet with Dept of Agriculture, Will have no interest in this.
It's truly unbelievable the amount of shite that is spouted on these sites sometimes.

Never read so much bullshit in my life... Carryduff an establishment club!
It's like Carryduff and Burren are behind some conspiracy to clean up Division 4 & Junior championship, because that's where clubs of their calibre currently see their best chances of silverware... ::)
Believe me, they won't be playing all their best talent at this level, I'd hazard a guess they've taken stock of their playing numbers and decided that fielding at Division 4 is best way to provide meaningful football for their increasing numbers.

There's the bullshit your reading in you own post, neither can enter JFC. its a case of trying to cater for two senior clubs ahead of the best interests of the division 4 clubs. no thanks

Truth hurts

Banty and Jason Sherlock are the new duo mentioned, I couldn't see that either. Its getting to a time of year where they have have to coax a manager away from a job. There is not many available top level managers and coaches unattached.

Just spotted Frank Dawson in Zebedees with a couple of very influential Kilcoo members.
Chicken supreme for FD. Chicken burgers for the others.

Steven Poacher waiting outside. Poor fella looked frozen!

I must say if this is indeed the truth, fair play to Dawson. Great order. Zebedees Chicken Supremes are top tier, put some respect on his name

What's the best interests of division 4 clubs/small clubs? The way I see it - every club needs approximately 3-4 players coming through each year to support/challenge the senior group already there. Look at the all conquering Kilcoo side of the last dozen years - 2-3 players are blooded each year and possibly 1-2 used in championship on a regular basis.
Clubs in division 4 may not have 4 players coming through every year but certainly every two years they do. Mitchell's used to join up with Attical at underage (as shamrocks kept taking their players when they joined with them!!) - they always had 2-3 players each year playing regularly for the amalgamation so what happens to those players after minor? Why is their club not integrating them into a senior panel where you have a couple of players who can't commit due to travel or injuries etc go out one door and fresh players come in through the other door.

In other news - is it true the Finn are now losing more players up the hill to Castlewellan?? Why is no one talking about this - where a big club is poaching players from a very small club??

Keep in mind that the clubs with only a handful of juvenile players playing within an amalgamation, may lose these players when they reach adult level due to studying or work commitments too. And with the way the rules are now regarding the age restrictions, smaller clubs don't get the chance to really integrate young players before these players make decisions on studying or work. Long gone are the days of getting players in at 16, who were fully integrated senior players by the time they were 18! Maybe that's for good reason, but it has had some impact in the last number of years.

Regarding the Finn, weren't they happy to take players from other clubs, including Castlewellan, for a long time? Swings and roundabouts maybe. Hopefully they have the numbers to stick it out as they have done well in recent years, last thing we want to see is another club struggling to field.

County Star

Heard the all county leagues start 14th April, with championships End of August and into September. Think only the one break in July but thankfully only one Monday fixture. That may help the reserves leagues than previous seasons ?

Big appointment in Kilcoo. Huge job too with men going to Australia and the states. Rory Gallagher was first choice and they went to his door. He turned them down. All is not well in kilcoo!
