Finally the championship comes alive. Some interesting draws there.  The top 8 teams in the county are all likely to be in the quarter finals.  This system really suits the bigger teams.

Any word of the intermediate draw?

[Mid Down Gael]

The top 4 teams are already in the quarter final. Bryansford and mayobridge could be hard to stop with top young players all due home soon. Some boost to both clubs.
Very disappointed with Clonduff tonight, they should have been fit for a depleted ford side but where second best in most areas of the park. Ciaran brannigan, Toner, gribben, king and Hanna led the line brilliantly for he ford. Mcconnville was found wanting against king and has a long way to go to become a top county player. Conor og Ohagan was the yellows main threat while lively, Darren Ohagan and Paul mcconnville battled gamely in defence.

A fantastic game of football on show in Castlewellan tonight with the Ford (deservedly so) advanced to the quarter finals of the Down Senior Championship after a great attacking display.

Finally.... a championship game where no defensive systems were in place, no negativity and no cynical fouling from both sides. It was 15 against 15, man for man where both sides attacked at every opportunity. I was really impressed with the Fords play tonight as they moved the ball with pace and accuracy, which caused the yellas defense alot of problems with an unusual Philip Bonny at full forward breaking the ball down to Brannigan and Co where they got alot of success from. We really got our monies worth tonight compared to the previous games on show this weekend. Scorers were:

B'Ford:
Ciaran Brannigan 0-6 (5 frees)
Timmy Hannah 1-0
Conor Gribben 1-1
Aidan Keenan 0-2
Conor Maginn 0-2

Clonduff:
Conor Og O'Hagan 1-2
Jason Brown 0-3 (3 frees)
Arthur McConville 0-1
Kieran Trainor 1-1
Finbarr McConville 0-1

Word has it that Drumgath are quietly confident and will be hard stopped the year in the IFC

In the hat for the quarter final draw of IFC:
Warrenpoint, Drumgath, Annaclone, Tullylish, Clann Na Banna/Bosco, Ballymartin, Bredagh & Darragh Cross

Bredgah was the surprise package of the last round, closely followed by Bosco's draw against the Bann. Who could be the dark horses of this championship? Warrenpoint, Annaclone and Drumgath would be my favourites but there is always a twist somewhere! Could be a very interesting IFC.

Not to quiet if word is on the world wide web

[When We Win]

Intermediate will be a close call, but you really have to fancy either warrenpoint or annaclone, both teams have the experience at a higher level. And both teeams would probably be best suited to competing for Ulster titles. Wasnt it Annaclone who only just got squeezed out by that team from Derry, Greenlough, last time? And Cookstown from Tyrone only just got past a Ballymartin team. On both occasions these two winning teams were continually flirting with div 1 status. the teams who win the intermediate in down are a mid table div 2 team at best usually.

Anyway outside of w'point and annaclone, i dont see an easy draw. everyone will be looking for bredagh i would have thought. Looking at the league results, Ballymartin, Drumgath & Bosco have been consistant and Darragh Cross have had a very unusual year in that they couldnt buy a win but now look strong. They were a very useful championship side a few years ago, unlucky to lose 2 successive finals.

Where do you put your money? Id say keep it in the pocket aas there will be no easy games and a few suprises.

Is the next round of IFC games not being played until September? The league will be over by then for div 3.
