Down Club Hurling & Football

[here comes 6]

Have the town missed their chance or will the drawn game bring them on?? Burren should win there game with a bit to spare?

[Milltown Row2]

clonduff and Castlewellan are evens for tomorrows game, who'd you put your money on for that one? Can Longstone cause a upset

[blueannavy]

castlewellan could nick it tommorrow night now that jason brown is suspended ..

[whitegoodman]

U could very easily see 2 "upsets" tomorrow night.  Clonduff are going very poor and Burren are hit and very miss although they are getting a few players back fit again.

[Leonardo]

Think it will be Burren and Clonduff. Anyone know what admission price is?

[supersub]

Sean Murdock also back for Burren after being away but not sure what sort of shape he is in for a championship game!

Carryduff reportedly beat Portaferry in the county minor A hurling final in Downpatirck tonight. If the result is confirmed, it will be the first time the title has left the Ards for something like half a century.  Carryfuff were the first non-Ards team to even make the final for about 35 years, after a semi final win over Bredagh, who had previously beaten Ballygalget. Bredagh also won the u14 A title last year, so, at under age level at any rate, the balance of power is changing in Down hurling.

Kilclief beat Shamrocks by 3. A deserved win. DJ was entertaining as ever along the line!

Some result for the Carryduff minors. The decline of the Ards teams is worrying though.

What a match tonight.  Portaferry where quick out of the blocks and led by 1.05 to 0.00 after about 10 minutes.  After that it was all Carryduff and they ran out winners 4.08 to 1.13.  It was sweet revenge from the under 16 final 2 years ago when these same two teams met and Carryduff let an 11 point lead slip.

Well done Carryduff, they've been knocking on the door at underage for a while now. They and Bredagh are putting in the hard work with the juveniles and its paying off.

Now for the hard bit, turning good juvenile hurlers into senior hurlers. Decent juvenile hurlers in the ards are nursed through into senior hurling steadily. Carryduff and Bredagh don't have that luxury at present and will take a few years for that to transfer into adult hurling.

It's all good IMO.

[Square Ball]

fair play to our nearest and dearest beating portaferry tonight. This will be the first of many times the minor hurling title will leave the ards imho.
I believe they cant represent Down in Ulster as they are classed as an amalgmated team?
