Any reports from tonight's game? First match in a long time I've missed, great to get two points and surely that will be the last proper test before Westmeath.

Who was good?

As we sat and watched the game in St Mary's club rooms, the echoes of the cheers to Rory Beggan's free boomed throughout the parish. What a time to be alive, still the only club in down with 2 All Irelands. You'll never catch us and we absolutely love every single second of it. Thank you Rory Beggan and Thank you Scotstown. Hughes will never have to put his hand in his pocket in Burren club either, great lads. Now we can rest easy as the aristocrats remain on 🔝

Thank god for Kilcoo
Thank god for McCorry and Adams having no plan and costing a fortune.
Thank god we don't have to listen to the noisy neighbours slabbering for the foreseeable..
This game should never have gone ahead and the referee and his assistants should hang their heads in shame. At least our club ref has the good sense to say no. We as a county struggle on a yearly basis to recruit referees and this shambles won't ease the recruitment process for next season.

This the same ref who held your club to ransom over an operation earlier in the year? Some morals alright that man. Heard he threatened to join Burren if CPN didn't sort his leg. We wouldn't take him, we've enough people with no clue without adding that to the mixture.

Kilcoo will have been hoping for Rice again but for his injury this year. He's won them a good few championships over the years and can't hide his bias against Burren. If there's any neutral referee doing this game then Burren win by 4 or 5 pulling up. The last time this game was on TG4 it was men against boys. Burren will do the same tomorrow. Odhran MOTM and Burren by 6

Clonduff never believed they could win that game. But they can take comfort knowing that Burren will hammer Kilcoo in the final. Up to the real aristocrats of down football to return Frank to its natural habitat. Mark my words, Burren will beat Kilcoo pulling up in a couple of weeks.The saviours of Down football

You could pick the best 15 of Mayobridge and CPN and they still wouldn't beat Burren or Kilcoo. Was like watching an intermediate game this eve, two teams that have no identity. Mayobridge will get hammered by whoever they play next unless they draw Glenn. You could tell a mile off that Warrenpoint have had no manager all year, look like they're winging it with zero plan. No shape, their best players in their own half at all times, like watching an U-12 team that. Down football is in a bad place, Burren then Kilcoo then the rest this year I suspect.

Upandwin your on drugs if you think Burren will win championship, they will struggle to beat loughinisland and after Kilcoo easing past Carryduff you may hope Burren don't meet them at any stage because it might turn out to be embarrassing

You're right Cuan. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, shouldn't be accused of taking narcotics after expressing their own opinion. Ghluck

Not saying we've won anything yet. But when you have Odhran, Liam, Danny in your team I think we will beat anyone that's put in front of us. That's not a disrespect to Kilcoo but think Burren will come of age now and we've won our first two games in second gear. Don't think you'd see anyone else dismantle CPN and Island in cruise control.

Aye struggled alright by the looks of it ye clown🤡

Burren will not be toppled this year. Too fast, too strong and too good. Absolutely cruised against Warrenpoint in 2nd gear and still won by 4pts, and that's with McKernan gifting them a goal. Burren and Kilcoo final if they can stay apart in the draw (which the county board will make sure of) and then next best are Loughinisland. Expect quarter finals to be Island, Burren, Kilcoo, Glenn, Mayobridge, Clonduff and two others that squeeze through. Burren will come good

Can the club season please just end.....

Use are dreadful. That scoreline actually flattered the point tonight. Shadow of the team CPN have had in recent seasons. Don't think it's a transition period, it is the end of an era sorry to say.

Balls being kicked on the pitch as soon as we went in front against Westmeath at the death to waste time, typical Kilcoo garbage. But not a word on here about that, people only get the knives out when we lose at the weekend. We have been lucky to beat Antrim and Westmeath, and anyone saying we were unlucky against Fermanagh would want to go back and watch that game too with their keeper gifted us 1-3 and we still couldn't win. Staying in D3 has been a massive achievement, it's a poor team we have and no progress made since last year. Last season lads didn't commit, headed to states, decimated by injuries and still put up some decent performances against Meath and Galway and Cork. This year we should've lost every game but the Tipp match, and that's with everyone available and the Kilcoo lads committing. We're in a mess atm. It were just lucky Donegal are as well.

My god we were crying on here for Kilcoo players to commit and now we have 8 and some people still name a Kilcoo player in starting 15 who is not even training with the squad. When will it end..
I would put Ryan McEvoy in midfield and Niall Donnelly into full back - has experience playing there and doesn't need to drive up the pitch as often as McEvoy. How can you start Collins after that performance on Saturday night is beyond me and Mason is a decent player - but 100% not a county midfielder!
But it's opinions I suppose.

Knew there was a reason I stopped looking at this forum. Geney Brannigan is training with the team and you'd put Niall Donnelly at FB? Christ the night I didn't realise this was a parody account JB

Earlier poster mentioned O'hare was injured but he has been on the bench the last two games so can't be too bad. The people questioning Kane's inclusion in the team are the same ones calling Laverty a god send. Can't have it both ways, either he's making the right calls or he's not. Heard that O'Hare struggled massively in training games and friendlies before McKenna Cup, then put some decent performances in after that. If Rory Burns has been asked back after leaving the panel, it tells you all you need to know about the headache for CL in terms of his no1. Expect Kane to bounce back after that, every keeper makes mistakes. Didn't deserve to win last game or win today, so 2pts from those games is a bonus.

Is the rumour about McGuinness true? Or was there a man on the twittersphere on the gargle? Outrageous thing to say if not true so that would lead me to believe McGuinness is in. Some appointment. Was he ratified by county board during the week?
