This may be their only rip at it this year as apparently the other schools, rightly so, aren't too amused with how fair it is.

St Pat's Knock have a senior hurling team so their lads can't play for Down, not sure about any other schools.  Think most other Down schools would play Casement Cup/Shield.

As far as I am aware beating Cross and Passion was still regarded as a shock result.

Is it right in saying that these lads have been playing Senior colleges for An Dun and the Casement Cup etc for their own schools, hardly fair if its true.

I really don't know.  I know there are only 2 lads from Aquinas on the Down team and that's not the case.

So An Dún is anybody from Down who is still at school?

Fcukin hell!

Certainly St Columba's is one of those schools, and IIRC there's only 350 pupils all in and that's a mixed school so they'd struggle to put out a full team in any competition.

I'm glad these lads are getting meaningful hurling as it was never known to promote hurling too much even if it used to have the pick of the three Ards clubs and its principal lives within a stones throw of our pitch.

St Mary's beat An Dun in the Mageean Final tonight. See the first goal here: http://tinyurl.com/cmjh79v

I think it was the same for Divis, minus St Mary's.

It was a good, hard fought game played at a high standard.

Here's the key moment... penalty to St Mary's, awarded by the All Ireland Final referee, but was it inside or outside? See for yourself here - http://tinyurl.com/d6abjz8

The offence occured right on the white line. Penalty.

No it didn't, 21 yard free.

Yet another home town decision in Casement......  ;)

11 or 12 steps allowed for the man who delivered the ball in for what I presume was St Marys third goal.

It was like a soccer match the whole way through with the chanting.
