Down Club Hurling & Football

[Brick Tamlin]

Poor enough game alright, low turnout and not much entertainment on the field.
Harps looked like Div2 team, and to be fair Murtagh was the difference (as he usually is) even with Point having an extra man in last 15mins.
Have to agree with WGM, why play your most potent forward in a congested area of the field far from goal where he wont hurt the scoreboard? it was the same last night with Danny Hughes against Bridge. Put the bugger on the edge of the square and isolate him, if the opposition double team then ye should have a decent man prepped for the free role.
Ballyholland struggled for long periods tonight against a Point B team by all accounts. Only player that looked county material on the field was Murtagh. Murphy showed glimpses but still tries to bludgeon his way through the game. Point no13 was decent and Ross McGarry showed glimpses too. Someone mentioned a while back about campbell  fro Ballyholland being potentialy a county full-back. not on tonights performance he aint.

HT: Ballykinlar 0-1 Saul 2-6

FT: Ballykinlar 0-1 Saul won

All the best to Gabriel T for a full and swift recovery from all at Saul

Ballykinlar 0-01  Saul 4-23

Saul should get over Bredagh and then they will win this JFC at a canter.

Harps made hard work of the point tonight but as you said wgm the point played with great heart and plenty of fight . Thought Gunner Quinn had a good game for Ballyholland involved in all the good moves while Ross Mc Garry put in a good shift for the point . the draw for the next round is to be made next wednesday night at the double header of replays

Is that Burren v Stone and Clonduff v Castlewellan the double header??  I take it that is in newry under lights.  Would still require an early start if they want the matches over before 10?!?

Was told that tonight at the match by a man on the county board but he never mentioned times

Suppose one will be a 7 throw in and the other 8.30 which should see the second game over for 9.45?  When is the next round of the championship?

[EagleLord]

I heard the next round games arent for another month?

Can't believe people are only saying Ross McGarry showed glimpses. In an exceptionally poor Warrenpoint team Ross was the only reason the score remained respectable. Ballyholland were poor but I believe that was only because they didn't need to be any better.

At any stage harps looked like they could walk through our defence. The scoreline was probably a fair reflection on the game. Warrenpoint have problems internally and that has not helped at all. But generally there is no particular game-plan it really is just down to putting the best players out and hoping they will play well together. Also Ballyholland looked fitter to me.

I thought Murphy was poor to be honest, up against a not very good side he did not dominate and looked about as good as the players opposing him. Shay Curran caught plenty of balls and broke many others.

This is an absolute farce. Why not play the next round of the championship in 2 weeks time?

because it will give the assistant secretary's club time to get their stars players back to full fitness

not sure how you can make an accusation like that whenever the master fixture plan for the year was published months ago, have a read at the link below.

Disgraceful accusation with not an once of truth to support it. Sean Rooney does a difficult job very well and without fear or favour.

You're out of order Downjim....I've seen him making decisions aginst his own club in the past...simply because he was applying the rules. Rooney is as fair as they come...

Idiotic statement without substance by a WUM who is merely looking attention
