Down Club Hurling & Football

[Lecale Gael]

Best team won alright but an unbelievable decision by Hurson not to award a penalty in the 60th minute. Disappointed that all three of our football representatives have fallen at the first hurdle again. County Board timing for the awards questionable to say the least

jesus wept

Looked like a clear cut penalty to all but the referee, also I don't think I've seen a goalie score from open play until Beggan did today, a good last 15 from Burren but not enough

What date would have suited then?

Catch yourself on ffs. Some tubes about this board. Blaming an awards night on defeats over the weekend? Burren were soundly beaten today and it's where this county is at the minute. Great comeback but down to the lack of accuracy by Scotstown. Not many potential Down players on show today. McKernan maybe

Re last sentence - one of the most ridiculous things I've read on this board and I've read some shite excuse my French. Plus ill informed I'll add.

I would have thought the awards would have been better in December or after the Ulster Club Championship. Bit unfair to have Donal Hughes on a night out in Newry hours before he had to make the long journey to Cootehill for a 2pm throw-in (plus extra time).
I'm sure Kevin McKernan could have done without a night out 36 hours before his club's biggest game in years. I think Burren were serious contenders for Ulster if they had got past Scotstown and it would have been nice to have the McFerran cup at a Down presentation for the first time in 30 years.

with respect, that's just an retrospective assumption with little foundation

awards could have been accepted on their behalf if preparation would be an issue

the date for the dinner was set last year and with guests travelling from all parts of Ireland and overseas it could not have been easy to schedule.

the day after the anniversary of the GAA being formed was a nice touch.

We were the last team to win Ulster and we will be the next team, that's for sure. A great year for the club and we are going to continue adding folks.

You're not selling the caravan then? I suppose we can expect to see more mobile homes springing up around the 12 townlands.

Fair play to RGU on winning their playoff game v an riocht on Saturday albeit by using players that should really have been serving out their deserved suspensions.makes a mockery of the whole system and must find themselves very lucky to still be playing in division 1 next year.

How did that happen? Were the suspensions appealed?

imo if one team finishes 7 points ahead of the other then they deserve to stay up.

[Lloyd p]

Wouldn't disagree with that Sheedy but the fact remains allowing suspended players to play on Saturday had a big say in them staying up after a one off game in which they won by a point..The rules need to be looked at.
