Down Club Hurling & Football

[Mikhailov]

Lads, surely someone in Down can update the Twitter account with score updates. A woeful service for outsiders who have an interest

Is there any other Twitter account that regularly updates on all Down championship games. Every other county has several guys who update on games who are not part of the county board or official county pages

I wonder is it at the request of the streaming company. (No basis for this other than my own meandering thoughts)

Unlikely that the streaming company can influence the county board but surely they can't influence an individual GAA supporter who can do it

Kilcoo are the luckiest team in Ireland

As Napoleon said, "Give me a lucky general.'

Kilcoo are never beat. Unbelievable how thry do that time and time again in Down.

I don't think it would have been the streaming company. They gave score by score on the hurling earlier which was being streamed.
Kilcoo haven't provided any updates for any of their matches via twitter all year, it isn't just this evening, but it would be unfair to single them out as many clubs haven't done it either.

Useless f*ckers Clonduff. Signed. All of Ulster!

You are some slabber aren't ya?

Yellas restored some pride. They were being laughed at a few weeks ago but they put things right tonight. It wasnt pretty to watch but they could have won it.

Anyone who has been following the championhsip this year would be aware that 15 min updates have been provided on every game.
Personally I think this is an improvement on last year where on many occasions games running simultaneously were score by score and some other games not at all. There has pretty much been updates available from all games this year at all levels.

Maybe an argument could be made for something a bit more regular now we are at the business end but I think the 15 min interval has been a clear strategy from the outset from County board and has worked well.

If you have time to follow twitter every other minute then maybe jus stream the game no?

Hard luck on Clonduff tonight. That was a very disciplined and mature performance from them. They were never in a position where they had to chase it and really could have snuck the win.

Been better getting Ross to hit the last peno!

To think Clonduff will beat Kilcoo is the talk of a drunk... Kilcoo 2nds would beat Clonduff at the min.

[Johnnysboys]

Horrendous game to watch - with puke football the order of the day. Kilcoo were lucky to stay in touch as at times Clonduff threatened to take them apart. But when you are playing the all Ireland champions you need to give yourself a chance. If that's setting up defensively then so be it.
Thought the ref gave some strange decisions to both clubs but gave an equal amount to each of them so no one can have gripes about that.
I xtra time was brutal to watch and then came the excitement. Penalties may not be everyone's cup of tea but what a way to end the game. Brilliant. Only thing I question is the exact same players hitting penalties in sudden death - is this how it's supposed to be?

Roll on tomorrow night. Let's hope the noisy neighbours have an off day and we can capitalise.

I wud expect the point to follow clonduff lead and show no respect to the mighty burren...

Yeh it's in the rule book the 5 who take the first 5 pens take the penalties in sudden death.. Armagh/Galway match in the AI was the first I heard of it 

[urbangael]

Well Kilcoo still won so its all about being in that draw for the semis. Clonduff with yet another hard luck story some of their pens were terrible. I agree in that in don't think the same players should hit again after 5. Ref definitely favoured Kilcoo as is very common with Down refs... Go with the favourites. Kilcoo will surely improve... They haven't started their best 15 yet but realistically their championship campaign starts now.
