for the last two games loughinisland have been missing 11 of the first 15 that started championship final. All teams have injuries but this year it has been exceptional.Major players like A molloy, john mc carthy, john turley, ben o reilly to name a few.  To be fair with a bit of luck we could have won last night. We were level with ten to go.

just to mention jamie - it is his choice if he wants to play for queens or not. he is training with the county so that is plenty of football for him. there are cetain down players who would not play for queens because armagh players were involved. this website i more like the hogan stand everyday.

James colgen may have played well yesterday but in my opinion he is too heavy and slow to play for the county.

delighted to hear dan is captain- heard he will be back sooner than they thought.

Leo you let yourself down by your comments on bundy.  Won a National league at 18 years of age with down in 83, was a replacement all star on one occassion and was nominated for an all star 4 years in a row- when was the last time down even had a nomination? benny is one of best in ireland yet has never received a nomination. Just tells you how good he was at county level.

Top scorer in ireland one year when down only got to the ulster final-
if anyone either watched him play there was a buzz in the cowd when he got the ball as he was a scoring machine.

Maiden it is a very strange situation in that the three teams that mayobridge play would benefit from the bridge winning and thus would be out of relegation play offs. not good way for down football but.......

T O hare - are you sure we play the bridge on sunday?

my view is the season should start earlier. we were training in mid january so they should have started in march as we had hoped but they were put back(possibly because of under 21s-not sure). its good that we can play football until november(although some nights are freezing) as we get a bit bored during winter but there was a number of weeks when we had no game at all and thats frustrating. our seconds have not played  a game in 9 weeks yet we have five left. there should be 4 divisions and reduced to 10 as there are always teams not good enough for example dundrum in div 2

only getting back to the board now after a few days on the beer. the better team won and in the second half pulled away. dan was massive blow( even though we knew all week) to us but the boys kept going. molloy was awesome and never gave up. it was a good learning experience for our team which is quite young and we are not far away. hard for magic in that there was a lot of expectation but he will get better every game.

magic will be out for months- ligament damage. ballygalget will not be happy but you cant blame him for wanting to play football.
bridge boys were deserving winners and good luck in ulster

my final point is that the atmosphere was poor considering the crowd. newcastle always had a better atmosphere. pity not playing there anymore

Not long to go til sunday. still think we have a good chance of an upset. we are under no pressure, the pressure is all on the bridge. cant wait now. it should be a good hard game of football. good buzz around the village, we should have quite a lot of support with us so there should be a good atmosphere.

hope you are not listening to wells of the dup- the burning of halls has nothing to do with this club. should not compare them.
