Eventful match between Glenn and Saval

Was some craic.

what happened?

Saval had 4 sent off and Glenn had one black carded.

Was at Saul v RGU

But no players team sheets or programme ? This was always part and parcel of championship

What going on

There might not have been a printed programme, but in my opinion the game itself was worth the £6 in as it was quite entertaining. Saul maybe should have tried another one or two balls in to O'Hare, as his fielding was superb at times.
Bell was excellent for RGU in the middle.

Caught that game also it was a close game. Great start from Saul but a strong finish to the first half from RGU. Peter Turley still doing the business at his age too

Has anyone heard the rumour of the Killyleagh Wolfe Tones are reforming ? The parishes of Killyleagh, Comber, Killinchy, and Tullnakill have some catchment area. I really hope it works the them.

Yea this is true

On a different side, the Underage Championships season drives people insane. Mentors and parents should be restricted from entering the wire. You don't need ten people yelling and confusing directions to children.

Current rules only allow the manager along the line and everyone else behind the fence line or in the Dug out zone

An Riocht play St John's in the last game. Reckon St John's will win it

Leagues look settled at this stage, regardless of winners etc

Div 1: Carryduff & Loughinisland top 2
Relegated: Bryansford & Longstone

Div 2: Ballyholland & The Town up
Relegated: Drumgath & any one of Fontenoys, Rostrevor, Glenn & Shamrocks down. Looking at it with the final fixtures i would say Glenn are in toughest position, 1 each on head to head with Shamrocks and a much poorer score difference, this will come down to what teams Ballyholland and Rgu field in the next two weeks, reserve championship could mean top 13s cant be rested.

Div 3: St Johns & An Riocht up (most likely) Ballymartin slip up last night eases the pressure on The Kingdom. Annaclone can catch however they have St Johns to go with An Riocht having St Pauls. The game with Ballymartin on Monday will determine if anyone else has a chance of promotion
Relegated: St Pauls are down, any one of Drumaness, D Cross, Tullylish or Banbridge can go down.... Scares for big teams in Darragh Cross and Tullylish this year, recent run of results should pull the latter out but numerically can go down, have Darragh Cross and St Pauls left. D Cross having to play Tullylish & Banbridge is going to be tough but are at home for both. Drumaness have Ballymartin and Atticall, again could come down to who plays and the hunger of safe teams, interesting run in.

Div 4: Bosco and Finn are up
Bottom Half: No relegation but overall St Michaels, Glassdruman & Aghaderg have won one game all year. Aghaderg a few draws. Since the split Dundrum have struggled in 4B in latter part of season and will be happy to have got points in first half of season.

Fancy Loughinisland to win Div 1
Would be a shock to see Glenn go down

Ballyholland by far an away the best in Div 2. Castlewellan lucky that RGU and Saul missed their county players for a lot of games. Though have been impressive anyway

Div 3 St John's far and away the best of the lot even without Gilmore

Would be a shock to see Darragh cross or Clann na. Banna in Div 4

Bosco won Div 4 handy enough in the end they prob have the best equipped sqaud for Div  3

Aughlisnafin going up has been mightly impressive. They Will find it tough in Div 3 but they have good players there by the looks of it maybe just not big enough of a panel

Can't wait until the championship gets going now.

Kilcoo for SFC
St John's for IFC
Drumaness for JFC

Great win for Down

Anyone making the trip to Tipp ?

Well done Kilcoo tonight

very immature. We have all wanted the best players in county to be available for selection and it's idiots like you coming up with stupid comments like that . Wise up

He has been very impressive this season to date. Hard to imagine putting yourself through a winter pre season only to go after a few games. Unless it was something already planned.

Must be a planned trip. Hopefully back before end of the league or the championship

65% voted in favour of retaining the status quo

The Féile this year remains at u15
U19s have already commenced
The Down fixtures calendar already passed
Then there is the potential for disillusionment in removing 18 year olds from the senior panel they have been working with since November

Next year we revert to the all Ireland wide model of even grades for competitive competitions

I still think we can have u12s then u10.5 u8.5 and u6.5

I read after the match that Barry O'Hagan suffered an ankle injury. Hopefully he is not out for too long.

ACL injury

On the match itself, we were excellent in the first half with big Pat is unreal form. The sending off hampered us but we weathered the storm and we move onto this weekend where I expect a massive turnout in Newry.

Have you the match day squad list ? Only saw the starting 15 on Down social media
