Quote from: Captain Obvious on October 04, 2023, 09:59:08 PMCeltic thought they were 2-1 in front with a few minutes to go, chalked off via VAR and then end up losing 2-1 with the Lazio winner arriving the 6th minute of added time.

Quote from: upandwin on October 01, 2023, 08:25:02 PMClonduff never believed they could win that game. But they can take comfort knowing that Burren will hammer Kilcoo in the final. Up to the real aristocrats of down football to return Frank to its natural habitat. Mark my words, Burren will beat Kilcoo pulling up in a couple of weeks.The saviours of Down football
Some people never learn!

A double whammy for the huns today, Celtic's late winner then them getting beat,I'd say Beale's future is in serious doubt, as for the league we're in a great position but didn't play well today

Quote from: Splash on September 29, 2023, 01:17:06 AMGood week of hurling action.

Portaferry v Bredagh went much as expected. Been a tough year for Belfast side, but could win the Intermediate, and have had more success at minor again this year. They will begin to trouble the Ards sides at senior level soon enough, surely. Portaferry will very much in with s chance to win back fo back titles.

Newry Shamrocks simply couldn't live with Ballycran. Shamrocks have struggled and will be glad to see the back of the Senior Championship for now. Whilst they may not be hitting the highs they were a year or two ago, the club is in a far better place now than it was a few years ago. It's been good to see their development in hurling. Ballycran still favourites for the title. Good team.

Liatroim will be kicking themselves. This was perhaps their best chance at beating an Ards side. Liatroim seem to produce good hurlers, just not enough of them to thrive against the Ards sides. Regardless of the rumours of players leaving the club, have heard talk of lads transferring in. Whilst Liatroim are down, they are not out. Still capable of springing a surprise in this championship. Ballygalget seem to be slowly getting back on track. Whilst a senior championship is probably too far a step this year, they seem to be getting back to form.

Worth raising the point- the physicality and strength of the Ards sides seems to put them above their opponents. Surely this could be transferred to the Junior Football Championship? I know players travel to Loughinisland, Saul, etc. to play with the big ball, but it is hardly convenient for lads on the Ards to travel to such an extent to train every week.

I would be a massive supporter of encouraging more clubs to have hurling teams, but perhaps it goes both ways? No child should be denied the chance to play either code.

Believe I am right in saying there was football on the Ards in the past?
I remember Ballycran playing in Div4 many years ago, Greg Blaney was playing for them back then

Celtic youth team won the Glasgow Cup at ibrokes last night, went 3-0 up against the junior huns only to end up 3-3 at full time, then won the penalty shootout 4-3, can safely say they're sick of the sight of the hoops!!
