Congratulations to dundrum on winning the junior championship today. Great to see. Enjoy down fanatic and dundrumite, yous deserve it.

Your right Pauly2, we have to compete with the Bobby Dazeller Cup which is a joke.

We should have beat Kilcoo in the quarter final makes me sick thinking about it.

Apparently the word in Kilcoo is they have won it already with men going on the drink this week in Belfast JJ and PD 

Typical Kilcoo cxxky as fxxk

Catch a grip coming on here and talking shite. The two lads are students and where likely out and about the Holylands but to start stupid rumours on here is sad. They are busting their balls 3 nights a week in Owen row park preparing for a county final.
And this about 'should' have beating us, the fact is in two championship games this season we performed poorly, had a player less for the majority of both games and yous stil couldn't beat us. A team with more will to win won each game and yous couldn't cope with the intensity and ferocity when it really mattered. I can tell you one thing we are delighted to be in the final but are certainly not cocky as we are aware of the mammoth task that beating an impressive bridge team will be.

If boys decide to go travelling can they can only blame themselves for not starting IMHO.  It was there decission to leave in the fist place.

Load of shite. 3 of the 4 Bryansford subs who came on last night had kept themselves in good physical condition and had won a North American title with the Ulster club in San Fran. It wasn't like they hadn't been playing football this past while.
From what I see of it, McGrath was trying to make a point. It was totally the wrong place to do it. Realisitically, he sacrificed a county final due to his own stubborness. If I was a Bryansford club man at the moment I would be seething.

I think quite a few of them are seething and rightly so. When I heard the formation of the ford team and the personnel in the starting 15 I had every confidence of a Kilcoo win. We got over the line without firing on all cylinders but I have to say if the ford had bonny, savage, Clarke and Ireland on for Kane, somers, Keenan and McDonald then the ford would have caused us many more problems. McKibben at half forward and Hanna at full forward played into our hands as well.
McGrath is a stubborn man and in the past 4 years has not won a thing with a talented ford squad, us having knocked them out 3 out of the last 4 championships.

Great to be back in the county final. Kilcoo didn't set the world alight tonight but always seemed to be in control. The work rate of the Kilcoo players and determination bettered bryansfords. Maginn was superb for them along with Chris brannigan. McGrath has a lot to answer for from a ford perspective, how can he leave Clarke, Savage, Ireland and bonny on the line and play lesser players in a game of that magnitude was baffling as well as positioning Hanna at full forward.
Role on Sunday fortnight.

Darragh ohanlon never lifted a hand and was head butted, Flanagan rightly received his marching orders. The lad is a class young player and his attitude, application and commitment are second to none. The lad has never got a red card in his life and has never been known as a dirty player. How Barry travers stayed on the field after kicking Lavo on the head is beyond me.
I thought con Reynolds refereed the game well but the less said about that p***k rice on the line the better. It's all about him even when not refereeing.

That wasn't good for the heart last night In Newry. Castlewellan played great football in the first half where it took us a long time to settle, the sending off after 5 mins having a negative impact on our players. After the interval the real Kilcoo came out and stood up. They played some outstanding football and as Liam Hardy said afterwards Kilcoo lads have something inside that his own players haven't  got. That never say die attitude and commitment cannot be coached and as a Kilcoo man that was a very pleasing aspect.
Darragh ohanlon and Paul Devlin where our outstanding players, Laverty, the brannigans, Sean ohanlon and the Johnstons also played major roles in the second half.

Clownjim would ye ever take yourself away off somewhere. 'Less of the slagging of our club' you mention Kilcoo and the Bridge in almost every post. Kilcoo's wee hard men, bridge's old finished noisy neighbours etc. Your an absolute tit. Anyway..

What a fantastic match it was. Seriously one of the most entertaining matches of football i have seen in years. Maybe the best I've ever attended on the club scene. Ambrose's point was a beaut. Poly was organising the whole 'keep-ball' in injury time, i was getting a bit nervous for them, one misplaced hand pass there could have ended in disaster. The quality and intensity of the game was immense, ten times the value of the match that preceded it.

On the 'OG', should that have counted? Because its illegal for an attacking player hand-pass to the net, but ok for a defender to do it? Am I right in thinking a similar if not identical goal was scored a couple years ago in the championship? Heads wrecked here...

According to the rule book the goal was legitimate.Official answer.. Rule 3.4 defending player plays the ball through his own scoring space in any manner shall count as a score.
Fantastic game last night, Burren looked very flat in the second half but credit must go to the stone who where outstanding. Michael Ireland has given Dan McCartan some roastings this past two years and it was no different last night. Class young player. Ambrose, Poland, smyth and Kelly also stood out in second half while cormac Poland defended brilliantly.
The first game was poor, saval never got going until last 15 when they played direct football. How on earth could pj Magee not see fit to start fergal mcconnville.
The bridge didn't set the world alight and where lucky Kearney didn't score a late goal which would of tied things up. They have become very defensive since the arrival of poucher, and its not a style of football that suits them. They are in the hat for the quarter finals though and with Magee in great scoring form they will fancy their chances now that burren are gone.
Role on tonight.

Cracking minor simi final played in Kilcoo today where Burren defeated Castlewellan by a point, a 50 meter free from Ryan Treanor(son of Shorty) 3 minutes into injury time the winning score.
Warrenpoint won the other simi with a two point victory over Saval to reach their 3rd minor final in 4 years.

Stunned to hear of Brian Ogs death. RIP.

I don't want to get started on Matts previews and reviews. Irritating.
