Congrats to Clonduff Camogs on their All Ireland success today. There’ll be a hell of a party in Hilltown tonight.

We were ordinary enough in the first half and two points looked a vulnerable lead with Offaly having a strong wind after the break. However, we improved steadily as the game progressed against admittedly limited opposition who relied heavily on generous frees from a fussy referee to keep in touch.

Our defence is capably organised with Wells settling in nicely at full back and Laverty an impressive newcomer at wing half while O'Hagan had another outstanding night and McKernan was a reassuring presence.

There is always likely to be a problem when we play two non-midfielders at midfield, although Flynn was a little unfortunate to be replaced so early, and we really need Donnelly back before long.

Ryan Johnston had one of those games where he kept beating men but only went sideways, while Jerome may have been fortunate to stay on when he got involved with an opponent right on the half time whistle

O'Hare was excellent again up front, where Guinness had his moments but really should have palmed in his first half chance. Quinn did not let a couple of misplaced passes worry him when he came on and finished clinically for both of his goals.

One more win should take us up, as well as earning a day out at Croke Park, which would have to go down as a very satisfactory debut league campaign for Tally.

All but one of Offaly’s scores came from frees in the first half, you could argue that many of them were dubious, but it’s something that needs to be addressed. Midfield is a worry, we rarely win primary possession, though we have started to do quite well with breaking ball, but with the introduction of the mark we really need one high fielder.  Mooney is better suited to either the half back or half forward line.
Carlow won’t be a push over in their own back yard but I do expect us to beat Louth in the final game of the league. Hopefully we’ll have done enough for a day out in Croke Park.

Were the better team throughout but the conditions looked shocking and led to a low scoring contest.

Well done them.

Anyone using the GAA App to register? That's assuming you are all paid up members of course

I see Burren thirds are rebranded clownjim. Are you to good to be known as a thirds team? Globetrotters maybe be a better name seeing as you have players from alll over Down?

Brilliant achievement, Clonduff are an example to all clubs. History/tradition, Male , female, football , hurling, camogie , Scór, county support , years of county representatives on teams , management , county board. Core GAA values promoted throughout the club, and have found them always extremely welcoming and respectful to our own club whenever we played them. A very proud day for the club , a culmination of years of hard work and always trying to do things the right way. Comhghairdeas

I see the club formerly know as Warrenpoint had their dinner dance at the weekend. A great day for the parish with the senior team being presented with their bronze senior league medals.

[Cuan12]

That’s a major achievement for THE POINT, best season in a long time, must have been a short ceremony handing out the medals.

Tell that to anyone who has played MacRory at the Abbey for the last ten years.

Shocking that Jody still gets to take this team. Since hogan success has yet to pass the quarter final stage. This is a huge under achievement by the school and the one common denominator is Jody to be fair. Many of their teams have had success down the school and then Jody takes over and it doesn’t go as well. Maybe someone else should get a go within the school???

   What success has there been? My nephews go to the Abbey and I haven't heard of much silverware "down the School"
