Great win for our reserves on Friday night against a much fancied Burren. Great effort from a very young team with only 4 lads over 22years of age. Hopefully we can build on this and push some of these young guys on with our seniors.

Castlewellan beat a poor warrenpoint side last nite 5.23 to 0.7. This result (as does the burren v point result) only prove that division one needs to be reverted back to a 10/12 team league. IMO a 10 team div 1 and div 2 is the only way forward. No disrespect to teams at the bottom if div 1, because we were there for a few years but Their is too much of a gulf in class between the top and bottom teams. A 10 team league would garentee tight games almost every week. It would also make div 2 stronger and more competitive as was the case a few years back when we had this system. Results like last night don't stand well for the teams that get promoted next year.

As far as I am aware Kevin duffin opted not to be part of the county setup this year. Downs loss has been castlewellans gain. He has been a top performer this year for the town. As I have previously said on here ruiari Mcardle would be worth a run with the county IMO. And also sean dornan who has a few years left with u21s in one to watch

I'd have to be honest and say I don't no if I would be saying it if I was from a different club as i would only get to see him play once r teice a year, but as I have watched all of castlewellans games this year I'm making a genuine comment on the lad. He's been a solid performer for the town over the past 5 r 6 years. And so far this year i think hes been outstanding.

Speaking of mcardles I think ruiari Mcardle from castlewellan has been having a great season and is someone who I think could push for a starting place with the county seniors. I'm not just saying that as he's a fellow club man. He's strong athletic quick a great reader of the game and can play football. IMO he's a better opinion at full back than benny Mcardle.

Rory burns has had 2 good games for castlewellan although he has been substituted in both games?? Ruiari mcardle and Finty McGreevy have put in 2solid performances as usual.

Disgraceful scenes 2day in the ACPRL between castlewellan and kilcoo. A mass brawl of around 70people involving players subs managers and supporters. Would be interesting to see the referees report

Castlewellan had a very comfortable win against a poor loughinisland side. It could have been a lot more had they been a bit more composed in front of goal. A good start for the town with Rory burns the pick IMO. Tough test against local rivals kilcoo next week.

Is there any club fixtures over the Easter weekend??

A young Castlewellan side had a good 1-09 to 0-5 win against clonduff in the ACPRL in terrible conditions.

Any predictions for ACPRL on Sunday?

I am lead to believe Niall mcaleenan has been appointed as Castlewellan manager? I think thats a great coup by the town if this is correct. A young keen manager who would be up to date on current training methods and who would also have his dad Barney to bounce ideas off! Can anyone confirm this?

Regarding the Cavan match... It's very hard to judge a team in those conditions but about from the dunne lad I think we can b happy with the overall performance.

Any team news fro kilcoo?  Who is going to replace niall mcevoy? Massive loss to kilcoo. And should be on the county panel IMO

Goodluck to both teams great for down football

Has the football squad been announced yet?

Wel said angermanagement. But as for the comment from fitzroyalty, catch urself on thers no need for that!
