Fantastic performance from Glenn this evening. Flew out of the traps scoring 2-2 in the 1st 6mins. Bredagh came back into it slightly only for Glenn to hit the net again and were comfortable the rest of the game.

Stream was good last night, not sure we'll see either team past the quarters.

[Truth hurts]

Loughinsinisland were poor but to be honest, the Town showed a fight and their aim now is to stay in the senior championship and regroup for the next season. Castlewellan is a strong club who needs to be producing players for our county like before, they need more male footballers involved in coaching as hurling has taken over. It's good to see the minors in a championship final albeit at B level but it's a start.

Castlewellan getting strong at underage hurling, good to see for East Down, South Down, the whole of Down.

Yes it is great to see and fair play to the coaches who are pushing it on but the football has taken a hit and the Town who used to be the kingpins at underage in East Down and county finals are now used to playing in B championships

The hurling has improved in the last 3 or 4 years - when's the last time Castlewellan were on top juvenile football in East Down - the early 90s?? How come in Down if hurling does well that's the reason football isn't going well? When Liatroim had a strong group of minors they did well at both. Slaughtneil prove this argument wrong year after year.

Alot of East Down underage titles at the turn of the century and won a minor championship in 2006.
Some would say Liatrioms biggest problem is the dual success with both codes in intermediate with a very talented group of players. It's bound to be very hard to play hurling on a Monday and a football game on Friday. Even for team preparations its bound to be a nightmare, fire in a soccer game on a Saturday in the Bobby Dazzell cup for some players and you can see where problems arise

So a minor 16 years ago. How does hurling effect that in the last 4 or 5 years - we're talking about U13/U15s too not minors yet. They look like they could have a good chance at a junior title this year but in the 90s they were an intermediate hurling team and had a few dual players when winning senior football titles. It's definitely harder to play a 2nd sport now but blaming hurling on any clubs downfall is crap. A lot of the big clubs in the 90s & 2000s at underage aren't as strong as they once were - most don't play hurling.

[terrifictommy]

Looking forward to tonight's game, should be good. Hope it's a decent game but I think it'll be defensive and slow
In fairness looking forward to Liatroim and Rostrevor tomorrow, could be a cracker.

The only club that clubs to mind is Rostrevor and that is largely due to housing.

So tonight the championship properly starts. Magpies v the yellas. With McConvilles broken jaw in the league meeting a few weeks ago it should add spice.

Other game of any significance is Burren v Bridge, old rivals but they are no longer rivals, Burren are well ahead of them. The dream team club management on paper of Clarke and Poacher has been very underwhelming for the Bridge.

If the big two avoid each other it's the perfect final.

Are there going to be play offs for relegation from the SFC and IFC again, or are they going to go back to doing it via league position like they used to do

Clonduff WTF??

Clonduff WTF??

It was abysmal wasn't it? Like the Harps in semi final v CPN 3 years ago, everything that could go wrong went v wrong.
