No he didn't.
If you play senior championship the previous year does that rule you out for 2 years or something with reserves?

Flynn came on in them all, do you even watch Down?? And rule is if you play any form of championship you can't play reserve championship the following year - free to play the league as far as I know

Reserve championship rules were changed this year.

The named lists now count for both league and championship.

Once you play in a higher grade of championship, you are ineligible for the lower grade for rest of season.

Nothing is carried forward between years. In effect, if R1 takes place before SFC, it's only the named 10/13 who cannot play in that match.

Could Benny play twice this weekend??

If he is not in the named 23, and hasn't played SFC or PRFC football yet this season, then yes.

I wonder who Smurfy thinks the5 Downpatrick players on the Down panel were. The actual number was 4 - Turley, Doherty, Bell, & McGrady

Smurfy123

Centre back? Left at the start of year? Not sure of his name

Gerard Collins?

downjim

Is it true Clonduff have been meeting Poacher ??

Smurfy123

Yes Collins? Was he not on the squad?

saulzer

No, definitely only 4 RGU men & only two that were actually used.

Smurfy123

Right sorry thought he was on the panel. What's McGrady like? Can remember him for queens Big and strong

downjim

East Down Bias, spilt the county in two

Aristo 60

Poacher has had his wings clipped.

Another scorekeeping farce tonight in Downpatrick. No scoreboard available which is surely unacceptable at ACL 1. Rostrevor scored a late goal, which spectators and presumably players assumed brought the sides level. Downpatrick then scored a point, putting them one point ahead in injury time. Rostrevor rushed the kick out, looking for a draw, but the ball was turned over and Downpatrick scored the final free, to win by two points. No argument there, they were the better team on the night, aided by some inexplicable decisions by the Rostrevor management.
But on the Down GAA site, Downpatrick are recorded as winning by one point, which meant that Rostrevor needn't have rushed the kick-out, + could have played out time for a draw, which would have suited us well.

These things happen, you say, except that the same thing happened in our championship match vs Bryansford in Ballymartin. Bryansford scored a late goal to even the match, both on the scoreboard and to the count of spectators; but the refs tally was different; apparently Bryansford were still one point behind. They went one to score 3 more points to win by two in the end

I understand similar confusion occurred in a minor championship between Burren + Kilcoo.

Surely it's not beyond the officials to keep an eye on the scoreboard and ensure it is correct, as it affects the attitude of the players and the ultimate result
