Why do junior footballers always expect Pat McEneanny to turn up and ref their Div 3 league match?

 

Lecale, I can't even bring myself to type their name.  They hardly have internet access on the trawlers anyway!

Greygoose, no idea about their pitch.  You better hope it is open because the council pitch they played on is the worst I have ever had the misfortune to grace.

Cloc Mor, in regards to the Downpatrick transfer situation I hear that Peter McKenna's from Saul has definitely gone through.The transfer out is John Smith. He's looking to go to Bright. He used to play for Ballykinlar. An absolute physcho. He's barred from Downpatrick club for life after nuttin their manager Paul Evans last year.

One arrogant disruptive tosser out and one arrogant disruptive tosser in.  Good to see the RGU keeping the quality high.

Cloc Mor, by all accounts it was a Judas action from Smith and big Evans had to be restrained by at least 4 people!

Statto, I'm far from the RGU's number 1 fan but if they have an effective recruitment policy at the primary schools in the town then fair play to them.

Greygoose, good luck at Bright.  New pitch, same scumbags!

In fact , good luck to everyone tonight (with the notable exceptions of Darragh Cross, S*ul and the RGU)!

In a word, no!

If the Wobbler is reading this, any word of a preview of the football season?

Kilclief beat Ballela handy enough.  Great start to the leagues right enough!

How long before Kilclief & Shamrocks want regraded to Junior?

That will never happen, there are a few deluded die hards in the club who believe the only way is up. 

As for us being strong this year, the way training has been going I don't think so.

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!!!

stpauls, was that just for the junior championship?

JC, stpauls has the heap on page 50. 

Youse have the Ports and the Crans play the juniors.

Senior hurlers are going well, eh?   

stpauls, I don't think you will have any home advantage, all championship matches are played at neutral venues.

Predictions:

Intermediate Football Championship


1:   Tullylish      v   Ardglass                                Ardglass
2:   Teconnaught   v   Dundrum                         Teconnaught
3:   Carryduff                   v   Bredagh                 Carryduff
4:   Darragh Cross   v   Clann Na Banna                 Darragh Cross
5:   Saval      v   Kilclief                                       Kilclief ( have to say that!)
6:   Ballyholland                   v   Glasdrumman       Ballyholland
7:   Saul      v   Ballymartin                                  Ballymartin
8:   Glenn      v   Downpatrick                             Downpatrick

  I hope the new job isn't going to prevent a Div 2 preview? 

  Our boys require a wee bit of extra motivation at the minute and you writing us off would be just perfect.

  Besides, who gives a shite about the lower divisions? 

Well as long as you are right and the team are still shite, that's the main thing isn't it?

  It's too depressing to talk about Sunday past.

  However, a lot of Down supporters on here seem to be convinced that Dan Gordon "has to come good".  Why?  For me he has been the most frustrating player to watch in the last 3 years. 

Moreso than Liam Doyle and that's saying something!

On to more important matters, have arrangements been made for Matt Fitzpatrick to have a Cup of Tea on Sunday

  Nice one Pangur!  I take it you are Angry Gael as referred to by the man himself in Matt's Chat yesterday! 

  "I don't like to take a packed lunch"   

It is not at present but the potential is there for a re-laid full size pitch.

  Behind the changing rooms adjacent to our main pitch.  We have installed floodlights and have been using it as a traning pitch but we won't be doing anymore until we officially own it.

   The county board bought a site from Kilclief to develop as centre for hurling about 7 years back.  They never developed the site and gave no money whatsoever towards development of any sort. 

  Mr Bell stated that the site was sold back to Kilclief.  It was not.   

  Despite repeated attempts by the Kilclief committee to discuss the possibility of buying the site back (so we could start to develop it in a manner we saw fit) The county board have not met with club reps and have made no effort to resolve the situation. 

  It may well be that Mr Bell was unaware of the situation and his county board colleagues forgot to inform him that the position had not changed one iota since he was last in the chair.

  On a completely unrelated note, the site at Kilclief that is owned by the county board would be worth an absolute fortune if a property developer wanted to buy it.

  Anybody got any results from yesterdays Premier Reserve fixtures?

 Tullylish beat Kilclief by 3 in a dire game.

 I heard Castlewellan beat Saval by 20 odd points, they had Greg McCartan and Ciaran McCabe playing I believe!
