Quote from: johnnycool on September 21, 2026, 09:53:38 AMThe hurling resumed yesterday without much fanfare.
We'd our neighbours in yesterday, one they really should have fancied after our previous outing where we misfired so badly on all fronts and confidence low.
It was a tight enough game, we got an early goal and looked to be kicking on, but stupid frees got Ballycran back into the game, along with a well taken Ballycran goal, meant we went into the break with a 1 point lead.
The game remained pretty flat until the sending off for two yellows and deservedly so.
We were down to 14 and somehow that stirred our lads who finally decided to play a bit of hurling and pulled away with the 6 or 7 point lead they held right to the end. Ballycran didn't use the one man advantage well at all.
The only real thing on the line was who was getting the home venue in the semi-final, which I think we need the bigger pitch to work in. Ballycran still playing a 49yo must be soul destroying for the younger lads on their panel. He still created the goal though.
The last round this Sunday are all dead rubbers, the semi-finals will be Ports v Liatroim in Portaferry and ourselves v Ballycran in Ballygalget no matter what happens results wise.
We've Carryduff in Portaferry/Kilclief now) on Sunday who may or may not depending on how friday night goes, still have an interest in the big ball.
Ports play Liatroim in Teconnaught and irrespective of Bredagh possibly beating Ballycran up in Carryduff, Liatroim would go into 4th on the same points due to the head-to-head.
I know there were changes looked at last winter, but maybe this winter there needs to be more jeopardy as too many games have been flat and only so much of that can be put down to Portaferry's dominance.
you sure? we are on 2 points with Liatroim and Ballycran both on 4, so if we beat Ballycran thats 3 teams on 4 (i am assuming Portaferry win) and is it not points difference if three tie? we are -25, Ballycran -5 and Liatroim -4. take a big win to for us to get there, 10 I think, or a win and Liatroim get tanked.
