There's no point coaching players when they get to senior level, if they can't do all the basics extremely well and have the conditioning at that stage it's too late. Can't teach an 18 year old how to catch a ball. That's foundation work from u14.
Top coaches only dictate the style of play and how they want their teams to play the game in a senior set up.

Laughable to suggest it's too late for a player if they haven't the conditioning by senior level. Plenty of time at 18 years old to develop that.

After guiding Burren seconds and thirds to the Championship last year they deserve a shot at greater things... oh wait 

In all seriousness, a good appointment if true for the Kingdom, was Pete not there before? Was he the manager when they won the league in 2007?

Yes and then we got relegated following year. Won't be returning to manage An Riocht

[Truth hurts]

best wishes to both teams tonight, it would be massive for either to win .

Fair play to your previous management team and the current one for volunteering to take CPN for free in the current climate. You do know that the great underachievers Clonduff have won the same amount in recent history as yourself ( 1 league title).
BTW since Warrenpoints last SFC win, the underachivers have won 3 senior championship titles.

Quit the south Down arrogance and show some respect.

What part of "we spend what we need to" didn't you understand TH? Clonduff is one of the if not the biggest catchment area in the county and are always boasting that this will be there year for championship honours etc. We in Cpn don't do that. We realise we are currently in dizzy times beating the noisy neighbours in 2/3 last championships and getting to two county finals as well as capturing a league title. This won't last forever and our underage structure is not winning much so the future could be bleak!!

Cpn are again underdogs for the final sunday. They seem to deal very well with this tag to date in the championship. Kilcoo were very lucky against the yellas but they looked strong in the semi final against the bridge so I expect they will take nothing grant it on sunday and will show the point the respect they have earned but I think kilcoo have just too much experience and should win it by a few points.

Well done Teconnaght.
Another trophy making its way to East Down the home of Gaelic football!

Big day tomorrow morning in #McCarthys for a good feed before hitting #McMullans for a session!

All the prominent people will be there.

(No South Downers or Taliban welcome!)

Good win for Saval yesterday, throughly deserved in what was a decent enough game, a crackling goal from their captain turned the game just before halftime.

[terrifictommy]

Very entertaining game, good to see the kick pass isn't  dead after all. Fair play to both teams, playing really goods games in terrible conditions. Saval seemed to have the edge in desire I thought.

[befair]

Is there extra time?
Kilcoo too complacent, thought they only had to turn up

[befair]

Magpies will win in extra time, of course

[charlieTully]

You gotta feel for the point.
