Two decent games last night. In the first match Martin Clarke probably the difference between the two teams, man does he have a sweet left foot. Kingdom took their goal chances and St Johns didn't. It was a competitive hard hitting championship match.
The senior match was more tactical and if Rostrevor were able to convert their chances maybe they would be in the semi. That being said when Ballyholland got in front they were very hard to get past and left the Rostrevor lads snatching at chances. Should be interesting semi finals in both championships.

Would have to agree. The build up play to Rostrevors goal was brilliant and if they were able to produce moments like that more it could have been a different game but they never really troubled Ballyholland in the second half in my opinion. Few nervy moments in the last 7 minutes or so from Ballyholland but I would still say they were deserving of the win.

Interesting semi draw as-well. I think Mayobridge can give Kilcoo a good game and wouldn't be surprised if they edge it. No one seems to fancy Ballyholland against Castlewellan and I dont see why not. Great League Campaign along with the championship wins and I have to say I really fancy them here!

Was there any specific reason why Ballyholland didnt go into the all county? Did they think they were not strong enough?  Are they struggling for numbers on their panel?


Struggling just the same as other teams in their league. Be lucky to get 15 for match days, sometimes just bang on 13.

Had the potential to be a force in the all county if you could get minimum 20 players to matches / training. The talent is there.

In relation to the Ballyholland Minors its dissapointing that they were in a 13 a side league as I feel they would have provided a challenge to the the better teams in the A league i.e Burren / Warrenpoint.

I seen a few of their league games and most were dead and buried before half time. They have so much firepower up front in Tiernan Rushe and to be honest he was at walking speed most of the time!
