Shamrocks 0-15 Annaclone 0-18

Annaclone 1-8 Rostrevor 0-16

A disappointing defeat for Clone who actually led for most of the match but in fairness the better team probably won in the end.  It has to be said that Leo Smyth's refereeing was awful and how this man gets to referee senior championship matches I'll never know. During the match it seemed that he gave us nothing with some ludicrous decisions, on reflection he was probably as bad for both teams.

[mini-riot in Banbridge]

Reading about the two murders in Co Derry this weekend, a stabbing in Lurgan and a mini-riot in Banbridge, it would seem the north is getting increasingly violent all over and probably qualifies collectively.

At least it's now got a good road out of the place!

What was this mini-riot over, never heard anything about it and I would be local to Banbridge.

Darragh Cross 1-12 Annaclone 1-09

Another dreadful performance from Annaclone.

Banbridge beat the Point by 7 I think.

[i take it that a full round of fixtures will take place on sunday.]

is there going to be any outstanding games played on friday evening??  i take it that a full round of fixtures will take place on sunday.  as for training over the july fortnight, the bridge have been training as normal.  somes clubs have taken up the rugby!!

I've heard that there is a round of fixtures on Monday evening.  Don't know if its definite though.

Kilclief 1-9 Annaclone 1-9

Saval beat Ballymartin by 2

I hear Liatroim camog's got beaten by Clonduff in the championship for the first time in something like 16 years, is there any truth in that?

Yeah I heard that too but don't know the score or any details.

Annaclone 1-11 Downpatrick 0-12

A good two points for Annaclone despite the squad being depleted.  We were 7 up at half time and played the last 20 - 25 mins with 14 men so did well to finish with a win.

Ballyholland beat Saval by 4.

I thought Albufeira (old town) Portugal was a great spot , Only 2 hrs away great food / weather / beach .

would love a plate of them sardines now

I'd second Albufeira.  Would definitley go back for the Potugese steak alone but alot of other good stuff there too, like waterparks etc.

I always thought it was Dorothy

crazy result annaclone....ballymartin playing great stuff, but definitely had you boys down to win that one. what happened? did you think after bholland result, you would win this one ok?

I don't think complacency was the cause of defeat.  Gary McArdle was a big loss (although he hasnt broken his leg as originally thought) and we are also missing another two or three lads on holiday at the minute. Our squad just isn't big enough to cope with so many absences at once.
Fair play to Ballymartin though, they were definitley the hungrier team and despite our recent good form they stayed with us and have now ovetaken us in the league.

I've heard some great reports about pete mc colgan from annaclone. Is he  a potential solution to our obvious fralities in corner back at county level? Did he get a trial at the start of the year or was he overlooked?

Pete's had a good year for us alright although he's been playing CHB.  I would say that his best position is definitley corner back and would be as good as a lot of the defensive players currently on the county squad if not the team.
As far as I know he had one trial before christmas, just after we finished in the playoffs and from what I gather he was given the impression after the trial that he would at least get another chance but was than called to say that his services were no longer required!

Although it would be great to see a couple of our boys in the county setup (the McArdles being two other possibilities on recent form), it would really dent the prospects of our senior team as I have mentioned above, we have a very small squad, and would find it very hard to cope without our better players.

Ballymartin 1-9 Annaclone 0-8

We were really poor tonight and deservedly got beat and now go behiind Ballymartin in the league.

Annaclone 2-11 Ballyholland 0-9

Another great performance from the Clone, especially in the defence which kept Murtagh and Murphy pretty quiet for the whole game.  I just hope we can keep our recent form going into the business end of the season.

Carryduff 2-6 Annaclone 5-12

This game was over after 10 minutes, Annaclone scoring 3-1 to Carryduffs 0-1.  The half time score was 4-7 to 0-2 so the second half pretty much had the atmosphere of a friendly.  The last two games have really helped Annaclone's score difference but it has to be said it has been against two very poor teams.

Annaclone 4-19 Glasdrumman 0-3

This was a complete mismatch with it being one way traffic from start to finish as the scoreline suggests.

Also heard that Banbridge drew with Ballyholland.
