Down ACFL Division 2
Banbridge 1-17  Dundrum 3-08

Great game. Played at a fast pace throughout. Banbridge were the dominant team in the 1st half while we played very well in the 2nd half. There has been some definite improvement in our performances the past few games.
Once again turnovers are killing us. Everytime that we give the ball away we concede a score. Banbridge are a very good team. They move the ball really well and at full forward they have a county standard player in Paddy Feeney.

Is Paddy playing full forward now? How longs he been playing there, he was a defender back in the day at the college.

Paddy was on the u21 panel as well few years back that reached the AI final

could nt get to the stone game.. suppose to play RFL v Rostrevor, the ref never turned up, thats twice this season!!!!! Is this happening much in Down, this the ref was meant to be B Cousins!! its very frustrating!!! your whole day is put on hold for the game at 6 and then the ref does nt turn up

Aye, We travelled from Bangor to Laotriom a couple of weeks ago for a reserve match against the Fontenoys and the bloody Ref didn't show..Very frustrating..Warmed up and then got a cold shower and started the 1hr journey home again

Think he has been playing in the forwards the past year or so. He knocked over about 6 from play tonight. Very impressive. Banbridge have definitely come on a long way.

Outstanding Fixture: Downpatrick v Attical

[Square Ball]

the way Bryansford are going they could get 40+ points, so with the 30% rule you could be looking at over 12 points for safety, could three teams go down DF?

[DownFanatic]

Square Ball, If 3 teams dont reach 30% of the top team's total then the bottom 2 go down automatically. Similarly, if 4 teams dont reach the 30% then it is still the bottom 2 that go down. Again, if 1 team doesnt make the 30% then they go down automatically with the other 3 teams in the bottom 4 playing off.
Realistically, Bryansford arent going to drop a point.

[thewobbler]

I'd be very surprised if Bryansford don't drop a point or two. A few clubs have had a decent stab at it in recent seasons, but when it comes to the crunch and they've nothing to play for, but their opponents are fighting for a play-off place, they'll get tuened over.


We got beat by 4 pts in Liatroim, and it was a bit harsh.

We were coasting in the first half when the referee (who was otherwise pretty good) made a complete c**k up. Our midfielder was carrying the ball out of defence when he was dragged to the ground by their corner forward. The wee fecker then wouldn't let go of him and how our player didn't smash him in the head I don't know. But he didn't. Yet somehow, two black ticks and a throw-up ball was the result, which Liatroim claimed and about 5 seconds later deflected into our net.

The Fontenoys to their credit were the better team for most of the second half, but the woodwork saved their arses twice. Aidan O'Prey must have finished with 6 or 7 from play.
