Ardglass beat Dundrum well tonight in the second Connolly Cup Semi Final. Ardglass were on top throughout and won it at a canter. Final score: Ardglass 1-15 Dundrum 1-05.
In the second Damien McCashin Shield Semi Final, St Josephs (Ballykinlar/Dundrum) destroyed Ardglass to set up a meeting with Bright in Friday's final.
Ardglass will now play Bright in the Connolly Cup Final on Friday evening at 8pm. Without a doubt they will cut the f**k outta each other big style.

can any of the ballyholland posters on here who was at the challenge game with carrickcruppen tonight give a brief report on the game, was unable to attend tonight! thanks!

[goldenyears]

diesel what club u from? are u scouting on behalf of someone or are you a cruppin man?

[diesel-smuggler]

golden years i am a cruppen man! i wasn;t able to attend the game last night and i just want to know what sort of game it was! we are behind alot in our league fixtures and have only played 1 game in the last 5 or 6 weeks!

[goldenyears]

carrickcruppin were excellent throughout.

v impressed with support/build up play from the back. numbers 6 and 7 were v good. keenan excellent at 11. seamus kane hit some great frees, and in general forward line looked v sharp. great movement, helped along by the fact that our lads decided not to tackle at all! big string team, v big right up the middle, and looked very good.

if that represents the quality in top4 div 2 armagh, then its miles better than top4 div2 in down!

cruppin seem to have improved over the past few years, good standard of football, and they seem to have a good mixture of younger guys like ferris and some older guys like loughran all playin well.

5ivetimes yes mark and neil rooney have been transferred to cruppen from bosco!

[boscomo]

jellylegs did u read the posts about the the 2 rooneys?

[goldenyears]

they tried to move to other down clubs and were blocked by the bosco it seems. the only move they were given was to another county

[naka]

the rooneys were told they would not be allowed to sign for another Down club, as they are living on the Millvale road the Bosco could not object to the transfer

[JellyLegs15]

Aye had heard about that rumour to..wudn't b surprised if it is the truth although never heard nethin frm the club. he may play there for a while and den move back to a down club if he still has county aspirations, all the best to em!!

[amallon]

Are Aidan Carr and James McGovern for the States this week?  Big blows to both clubs if there is any truth to it.

[superblues]
