Quote from: Greenreporter on March 01, 2024, 07:38:23 PMI see the Kilcoo v CPN seconds match is the only game yet to have a referee appointed. Are the rumours true all the ref's are boycotting the magpies this year?? Interesting to see how this pans out

What about Bredagh and carryduff game?

Great to see the Castlewellan flags proudly flying in Kilcoo.

Nice touch prior to the town's return to Division 1 football.

Great to see Kilcoo showing support for their neighbours.

Good win over Sligo although Sligo look to be rebuilding and have a bit to do. Our boys done what they had to do today and are now in good position for the tough 2 final games in the group against Westmeath in Mullingar and Clare in Newry.
Next weeks game in Mullingar will need to played at championship pace to get the result as we know from last year sam maguire cup run that westmeath are a good team. Clare in Newry will also be very tough. Let's hope all the lads stay fit to get us over the line.

Does promotion guarantee Sam maguire group for this year?.

WeeJamseyMcC95 · March 03, 2024, 07:38:59 PM

Mighty performance from burren reserves today beating our neighbours handy enough.. also hearing reports from Kilcoo 3s against saul 2nds today apparently playing great play.. like a typical Kilcoo snr team just off the run hand passing and quick play.. seems like another Kilcoo and burren league final like we always like to see. I feel we are in for another year of great championship football.

I read somewhere recently, that the team that tops div 3, is likely to play in the All Ireland series this year.

If Kildare got to a leinster final, this might change, but it could mean the division 3 play off will have a huge amount at stake.

Also if Down won Div 3, and got to an Ulster final the runner up might progress also.

ardtole · March 03, 2024, 07:59:55 PM

I just had a quick look at the leinster sfc draw and Westmeath and Kildare are on the same side of the draw and probably between them for a leinster final spot. Presuming Dublin win again, one of these teams would be a second seed in the All Ireland series.

Good performance today, much better than last week. Sligo had no answer to the pace of the forward play once we got going. Although we still coughed up a couple of decent goal chances, the defence was better this week.
Hopefully Odhran Murdock's injury isn't too serious as there's tougher tests ahead.

RIP Dan McCartan, one of the greats of Down football

Indeed, a much better performance and Laverty picked the right team and made the right substitutions. Everyone did well but particular credit to McAvoy, Doherty, Flynn, D Guinness and Havern. Sligo were limited so Mullingar will be a greater challenge, the sort of fixture Conor loves.
Sad news about Big Dan; a warrior.

There was a Dan McCartan who was a teacher at St. Colman's, where did he fit into the McCartan family tree?

Johnnysboys · March 03, 2024, 10:43:16 PM

What about that absolute display from Doherty today... he was unbelievable from start to finish in a game that was over after 15 minutes.
Credit also to the midfield pairing. Just shows we can cope without Murdock if needs be. Let's hope we don't have to though.
Bring on Westmeath.

RIP Dan McCartan - a legend in our county
