Bad night for Loughinisland, Castlewellan worthy winners having played any football that was in it. More skill on show during the H.T. under 8 game which was very entertaining

An Riocht still without a win - are they about to become the ultimate yoyo team? Div 2 winners 06, Div 1 winners 07, relegated 08.
Another win for Banbridge! Great start for them. What's going on in Banbridge? Div 3 looks wide open.

[off the laces]

Whats happening in Kilclief No 1
Not looking good for the east down clubs in div 2

[No1]

  We're in big trouble Off the Laces.  It's hard to put the finger on exactly what has gone wrong. 

  Rosie walked away a couple of nights before the Banbridge match and was only back last night.  Ricky Kerr looks burnt out and every other team we have played so far looked far sharper and fitter.

  Things have gone very stale and it will be very difficult to lift ourselves out of the rut we are in.

  Dee Rafferty was absolutely flying for the Shams last night, Ross has gotta find a spot for him for the Tyrone game.

[T O Hare]

The bridge were always in control last night, Brendan Grant was great at full-back, snuffing out the threat of Ryan Kelly,Mickey Walsh picked up break ball after break ball on the forty,Benny played at 12 and acored 2.2, when he is coming onto the ball he is unstoppable, his second goal was scored with three stone men hanging off him, If your reading this Ross take note! 

[goldenyears]

harps hung on for a win last night despite being 8 points up at one stage - the fear of losing from a winning position seems to be the problem as it was the same story v saval and v clonduff. harps should be sitting on 6 points now and will no doubt rue the points dropped at end of the season

one thing that is clear is that so far we dont look out of our depth and i think that says a lot about the standard in down football right now - 3 or 4 teams in div2 would hold their own in div1 at the minute....

ps. one interesting point - the ref last night let almost everything go, and on a number of occasions when fellas complained about tackles, he remarked "this is whats wrong with the senior team - they cant take a tackle!" fair point and i agree that all refs should be letting more physical go in games - it would certainly help our football i think

[Minus15]

Who was the ref gy?

[lfdown2]

thought p murphy was a very lucky man last night, granted it wasnt intentional, he is in no way a dirty player, and ye could see he was very sorry but it was an awful challenge!!!!!!(otherwise thought the ref was very good!)

good win for the harps, liatroim again letting the game away from them before they decide to play any, 1st goal was a joke, side line ball bout 30yrds out bounced in the square into the roof of the net no one taking charge in there second wasnt much better defence let ballyholland walk through them in the 1st half and roney esp was unstoppable, think the defence tighting up and working hard n the second half had a lot to do with liatroim getting back in to it, though just wasn't enough!

would look at it as one that got away and its 2 pts that come the end of the season we would have been glad off to stay clear of relegation. though dosnt work out that way..

first time iv been up at ballyholland too, good set up and a quare stand fair play..
