Kilcoo better team, no complaints.
RGU shafted, that's not fair.
Clonduff first goal should never have been called
Kilcoo and CPN only two teams left that can win Frank

Clonduff 7/4 looks like great value

We have all been shafted down the years by refs or at least thought we were. John Anthony and Mickey Cranney must get a mention in must pubs every weekend in County Down ffs
There is no justification for that behaviour whatsoever whether it be Kilcoo, Harps , Burren or whoever. A statement? What club members would be fit to stand up against the culprits  who were the instigators.
The county has trouble getting referees and after Sunday night who in their right mind would take up the whistle.

Wobbler there are mouthpieces in every club but they don't go after the ref when you get beat in a game and certainly the top table in big clubs in this county do not behave in that manner. People are in those roles to show leadership. One person can loss the run of their-self but not the whole bloody executive.I have yet to see Anita Brannigan encroach a field to abuse a referee, Larry Byrne....... etc etc

If reports that Paul Faloon has quit refereeing Gaelic games over Sunday evening then it's an absolute disgrace. I thought he refereed his brilliantly and that added to the spectacle. An open apology from the Kilcoo club would go along way. Chairmen , Ex chairmen, Secretary's, county board delegates should know better than to encroach the playing field to abuse refs. How can Kilcoo underage coaches teach respect when they see their top rank officials behave like that. The county board need to deal with this for the integrity of Gaelic football in this county. No cup is worth more than respect.

Let's call a spade a spade , the scene's at the end were disgraceful and there should be hefty suspensions for the men who followed the ref to the changing rooms. There is no glossing over that and no excuses . Refereeing is hard enough and Paul had a great game last night. Bullying referees needs to be condemned and I hope our county board shows leadership and takes correct actions against the said individuals.

Its look bad from both clubs and the person videoing is bound to be breaking rules as well. Underage games should not be recorded on peoples personal phones. I am sure all parties are keen to put this behind them but its a lesson for coaches to keep the head and also for the coaches who preach get stuck into them. This behaviour can spiral out of control and for what? The glory of winning an u13 south Down league ffs Every club is guilty of this  so we cannot point fingers

Point were with worth the victory, we kicked too much possession away. The point really look improved and will be between them them and kilcoo for the title. Burren and Bridge derby coming up again no doubt.
Some excellent defenders on show over the weekends games btw

St John's have stopped their children from playing gaelic games due to the pandemic, the only club in the county to make this decision! It remains to be seen if they have made the right decision but I am sure there are a lot of unhappy parents in that area who are seeing their neighbouring parishes play gaelic games.

with covid 19 rife in areas around Newcastle does anyone know if county board has a contingency plan if an area goes into lockdown. A few people on social media crying out for newcastle/castlewellan areas to go into lockdown. If that happens you could be talking 6 clubs!

I think you are right and i do not think that clubs would be overly worried about no action. There is too much riding on this unfortunately.

That is very unfair on the person who got it, I hope he is ok. You are allowed to socialize, but I cannot see the GAA season finishing with all this going on. It is making people feel very uneasy. At the end of the day it is only a game of football or hurling. Is it worth all this? That twice Castlwellan have  had to close, that is an awful lot of pressure on their committee and volunteers.

When does under 21, sigerson happen?

Who cares? get rid of them and the worthless competitions that we run
