Dont get too carried away just yet Bannaman,like yourselves Dundrum are relatively new to this stage of the championship and their confidence will have lifted coming from behind late on to win against Attical,whilst Ballymartin have a great championship pedigree stretching back many years including winning the title,Kilcleif too regularly quailfy for the latter stages and will not be lacking in motivationor ability(and remember their hurlers won at the weekend)Clann Na Banna did very well to win their two previous matches especially against another club with fine champioship credentials in Annaclone,as far as your own club is concerned it is fantastic to see your side progress and well done so far-but remember they dont hand out the cup at the quarter or semi-final stage!!

How am I getting carried away.  I stated that I think whoever wins between us and Kilclief should win the championship.  I stated that Dundrum rely heavily on McComiskey, which they do and that if you can stop him that goes a long way to beating them.  I also stated that we beat Ballymartin twuce this year, 1 by 6 points, 1 by 7 so in any mans book that is comfortable.  Kilclief will be hard to beat and will have the momentum coming from the hurling.  We are no way a shoe in but I think we have the winning of it.

Wouldnt worry too much about Bannaman, would actually be very surprised if he was even connected with our club in anyway. Having read his previous few posts I would be pretty confident he is not a member of Clann na Banna, and 100% confident he is not a player. Believe me no one in our club is under any illusions about the what lies ahead in the championship, and that aside we still have league games to worry about as well

I am connected to the club but nowhere did I say I was a player.  I don't know how you could read anything from any of my posts as I have only made 4 posts, 1 about the Kilmacud 7s, 1 on the Arsenal thread and the 2 posts on this thread.  You must have Colombo powers of deduction to be able to work anything out about who I am from that!

So what's your connection with the club then?
Pete Fitz had a very quiet game against us in Newcastle and I can't imagine him ever being that quiet again and wasn't available the first game against us which was a big loss to Ballymartin. They have actually got the better of us more times than not the last few seasons when he has been player so if anything Ballymartin would be Championship favourites. We are just focusing on Kilclief and neither other side are in our thoughts

Thanks

[the wee linfield hun]

14 man tullylish bt 16 man Drumgath by a point

one off for Tullylish v Drumgath and the ref?

Aye shockin effort by the ref, i thoght he was going to kick some of th frees he was handing out.

Burren did their best to throw away the second game.

cant see how you thought the ref favoured drumgath, the wee linfield hun deserved to walk, plus drumgath should have a penalty when the ball was cleared off the line, the ball was clearly touched on the ground. back up what your saying with a few facts you t**t.

What the f**k does that mean? You are a complete and utter p***k of a 'man'

Since when was Ivory Coast part of Europe??

Anyone got the venues/times for the games??

Ach now Bud, get the facts straight. Gazza had a lump of chicken with him. Give the great man a break.

And a fishing rod

Anyone out there got any good photos of the Argenta Prison Ship?? Have tried googling it and all sorts but can't fin any decent photos for a website I am doing.

Harps hammered Banbridge tonight. A real good disciplined performance...especially from our defenders. A few of the older Banbridge lads tried to intimidate and goad some of our young fellas but they held strong to deliver a great result. We're clear on top now...big one next week against our neighbours.

was a very good performance from ballyholland, well drilled and stuck to their task. Coped well with the small pitch, something alot if teams have struggled with this year.

And I'm not just sure why Paul murphy isn't playing against Donegal today, but we will leave that for another time.

We got what was coming to us, we have played like a team of rejects for a while now and got what we deserved last night. Score line could have been more only for one or two unbelivable saves from McAlister. Unless we get the fingers out and improve significantly from number 2 to 25 we will be in trouble.

Hi 5 sams being on top of the league at the end of may means nothing! I'll have to admit Banbridge are going well, probably their best first half in second division yet, but have you got the tough mentality to stay there!!!

You do realise that 5sams in not a Banbridge man?? There will be 2 teams on the field tonight ya know........

Any games being played tonight? I know annaclone Ballymartin is but a bit of a trek

Dannymcfella, these things seem to even out over the course of a season anyway. I wouldn't completely blame a referee for a defeat, as that simply excuses all the mistakes made by your team during the course of a game. That said I know how infuriating referees are at times and sometimes this leads us to think something more sinister is on their agenda.

Back to last nights results, big wins for Downpatrick,Annaclone and Tullylish. The pressure will be on Ballyholland to get a result this evening to kickstart their season. Kilcief look in dire straits already, heard John McGreevy was in great scoring form last night again, my man at the game says he scored 2-9, most from play.

Sour grapes Dannymcfella
John McAreavey was in great form last night probably back to his very best. Think he finished up with 2-7. It was Tullylish's workrate that won the game last night and the half forward line was fantastic in their tracking back and tackling. Kilclief did not deserve the 10 points which was registered on the scoreboard which were mainly from frees probably only 2 points from play. The referee gave them a lot of easy frees. If this game was tighter the referee probably would have handed the game to Kilclief. Seems to be the trend when a south Down team goes to play in East Down and the referee is from a neighbouring club and gives the locals easy frees. Tullylish could have won this game by a lot more. Onwards and upwards for Tullylish. Sitting there nicely in the mix of division 2.

no bones not sour grapes, stating facts which loughinisland players will agree with, although your statement of sour grapes comes from a great position of authority considering you were standing along the line in tullylish colours in kilclief so would know very little about what went on at our game! You seriously want your point about my post being sour grapes taken seriously yet you come on and complain about the referees performance despite  hammering a team?  and sebastion you said about the ref getting abuse during the game, ask the loughinisland manager who the more disciplined team was as he ran the line a few times trying to find out who was arguing with the ref which resulted in frees getting moved forward, something which didnt happen with us.

Was chatting to a banbridge player who when telling me about the game never mentioned the referee once and said that the island could have beaten them by more. Also, Dan Gordon said to have played well?

I find it hard to believe any Banbridge player wouldn't mention the referee. yeah Dan had a good game, some great fielding of the ball and took a great score in the second half, O'Reilly was prob their most dangerous player overall. Loughinisland had one or 2 goal chances but McAlister made a few great saves one of which was out of this world

Loughinisland beat Clann na Banna by a point with more than a little help from Pat McDade. Loughinisland will know they got out of jail with this one. The 'referee'gave them 2 scores which were wide and denied Banbridge a point which was clearly a point after he intially signalled for a point, then in the last minute waved away as blatant a 14 yard free as your ever likely to see. No matter what Clann na Banna done here tonight there was no way on this earth that referee
