Kilcoo v Rostrevor is also on Monday. Unsuitable for both clubs as most of rostrevor squad are on a stag all weekend for one of their players, a stag 3 kilcoo players are also on. Kilcoo lads all have wedding at weekend where senior star for many years, Sean OHanlon gets married.
I don't think the fixture will spoil the weekend for everyone but seriously is inconvenient as there was never a mon night fixture for this date and now this has been sprung at short notice.

Our fella, your a big lad behind the computer screen. Ya wouldn't have the balls to say it to the mans face I know that. But what I do see here is nothing but jealousy for the best club and county footballer in Down this 4 years! Laverty was immense today as he always is and gives all for his county. So I advise you to put up or shut up and get begind players giveing their all for the Down cause.
Be best to remove your post if u had any gumption.
Other than that well done to Down on a wonderful second half showing where the impact from the bench was superb. Benny and Ryan and to a lesser extent Liam and Jerome all played huge roles.
Kevy and Lav where once again superb, two of the most competitive and committed players we have.
James Mccartan deserves special mention for the changes he made.

I hear Burren Thirds couldn't field on Sunday, unusual for them!

At the other end of the spectrum we played Kilcoo 3rds last week and they had two lads playing who saw action in the Ulster club championship last year!!!

I would love to hear the two names cause for a fact I know there was not one. Yes we had few FORMER seniors playing but that's where they are at right now!

MDG what league will your 4th's play in??? some going to get 4 teams if it's true in any parish.

East Down Reserve League which I also am led to believe will be 13 aside.

Including minors we have around 70. With our thirds team playing in highly competitive premier reserve division 2, the club had no option but include a 4ths string as many lads looking a game who maybe can't fully commit can now get that.  Is say 25 lads will play senior at some stage or another.

If your seniors did not play for your seconds week in week out surely you will have enough football for all the lads in Kilcoo.Or will Jerome and the Red be making a comeback

When ya have over 70 lads training do the maths. It's a necessity. Big pick ya see.

who will you be playing for this year mdg??

Seniors looking a water boy so might take that up lol

Is it true Kilcoo are entering a fourths team???

Yes that's correct

As a jordanstown fan I must say they have only themselves to blame. UCC played the better football and where much more economical in front of goals.
Rory Beegan fucked up big time at the end, with near two mins left he fluffed a short kickout, and made a balls of another pass. This wasted near a minute when a long kickout was the only option.
UUJ kicked 17 wides which is atriocious. Too many of their players played like individuals and passing the ball to a better placed player was never an option. Mcaliskey, Donnelly and Kieran Hughes employed the shoot on site method much too often and trying to be Heros.
For the management uuj have I thought their tactics and system of play in second half especially where poorly conveyed. Direct football to oboyle and Clarke with players playing of them would have reaped some rewards, but instead they continued with soloing and hand passing. for the players they had he management also need to take a long look in the mirror, no way should that side have been loosing that match.
On the new hooter system what a disaster. Not once did that clown mcquillan raise his hands for the clock to be stopped during injuries meaning not a second of additional time was played in either half.
This is going to cause some bother in year ahead unless the rule is refined and the timekeeper is fully in charge. There is no doubt in my mind mcquillan forgot clean all about raising his hands to signal stoppages last night. Another stupid rule going to cause controversy.

Yeah that's him. Boyle marked him for majority of game.

Darren Ohagan was not marking mccarron. He marked Chris McGuiness from the off and kept him scoreless!

Match tonight waste of time ,Burren don't really do Leagues and the body language of the players said that.As much as I hate to compliment Kilcoo they moved the ball well and Jerome Johnston hit a fantastic goal.
Playing League Football at end of November really isn't The Buren Way -that was obvious tonight.
One team happy to play for Leagues against a team really only interested in Championships , waste of time play the League as a League top team wins it .
Kilcoo v Castlewellan will be a typical ill tempered nasty East Down game ,I hope The CCC videos it with at least 5 camera angles .

What a pile of pure dung you just came out with. Kilcoo played Burren of the park, end off.

I wathced the highlights of the Cross/Kilkoo match on TG4 player, the first kilcoo goal was defintely a square ball, I am surprised that only one person on here has mentioned it. Speaking to a few neutrals who were at the match they expect Cross to win the replay. Is BCB playing games or is this Cross team finished?

I think you need to learn the rule regarding square ball!

The missing person is not Seamus OHanlon just to get that straight.
