EDG,

i think you hit the nail on the head there with regards to us, that is definately some thing we have been lacking in the last 2 games, with us missing quite a few frees and easy points!!! if we could have taken them, the games may ended up a bit differently. not saying we would have won, but definately would have been closer!!

rois,

it was a pretty even match play wise, we just couldn't seem to put the ball between the posts, were as you were hitting mostly everything. we also missed a few soft frees, were as your kicker was putting over with ease. with regards to you looking slicker in the closing stages, this may have been helped by the lose of our number 4!!

Sorry EDG,

find a reviewed table below, can't beleive i left some one out!!

Guys,

I know its early but below is how division 3 looks after 2 rounds.
Not a great start for us so far, but we know we can improve and play a lot better than we have done so far. hope to pick a few points at home and see where we go from there!!

Caitlin,

welcome to the board!! Didn't know you were a St. Paul's woman, what did you think of the performance? you will have to intorduce yourself on friday evening if you are about!!

there is already a thread on this in the non-gaa section!!!

Cheers Lecale, good luck in Portaferry!!

Lecale, probably a stupid question but I assume the match tonight is at Cherryvale, after you were unduly kicked of it at the end of last year?

[ACFL Division 3St Paul's 2-4 Bosco 3-8]

ACFL Division 3

St Paul's 2-4  Bosco 3-8

close enough game with us leading 1-3 to 1-2 at half time. missed 1-3 in the first ten minutes of the second half which would have given us a good solid lead to build on but Bosco came down the field, scored a goal and the heads dropped. Bosco then got another goal and the game was virtually over as a contest. got a goal back but we never looked like we could claw back the difference. A lot of improvement needed from us, but we definately have it in us to play better.

to be honest, it doesn't matter to me what match opens the summer championship season, its only a pity that we have to wait another month for it to start!!! i am really looking forward to the heat of championship football, played in great weather like what we are having at the minute. will make for a great viewing!!

don't know if he is doing it deliberately or not, i personally think he is just a kid who puts down the first thing that pops into his head.
Can be very tedious at times, but he does come out with some crackers from time to time. Ballykinler Army Camp and their football squaddies spring to mind. 

don't worry about him Brick, by the sounds of him he only has just figured out how to work a keyboard over the last few months.

saying as the different provincial championships don't start on the same weekends, RTE don't want to miss out on viewing figures just because they want to wait to show one of the big names as their first match. I am sure if Kerry or Tyrone had been playing on the weekend of the 13th May they would have shown that match. But as it is only the lowly Down Vs Cavan  , they don't really have a choice!!!

as far as i know this is for every draw!!! this was said at the start of the draws but was not mentioned again during them. so i would assume it is for all of them!! 

guys, killyleagh still haven't confirmed if they are entering a team for the championship, but the county board didn't want to draw their name in the quarters for some one to get a clear trip to the semi's, so if they pull out, St. John's have a bye to the quarters.

with regards to home advantage, was confirmed last night at the draw, home ties for first out in all rounds up to and including the quarters. although, this was what they said last night so that of course could all change at a later date!!!
