Kilcoo 1-12
Bryansford 0-9

Very impressive team performance from Kilcoo tonight where we dominated Bryansford all over the park. Phelim McGreevy completly dominated Kalum King while Lavertys play making tore a loose marking Ford defence to shreads.
Loosing Nial McEvoy to a straight red at the death was the only sour note, gonna be a big loss for the remainder of the championship.

Good team performance from Kilcoo tonight. If our forwards had of being more ruthless we would have won by a lot more. The ford had one tactic- put the ball in high. You'd think McGrath would have had the sense to change tactics after 15mins!
The game was was in last 30 seconds when the ref thought it'd be a good idea to send two men off (one from each) for what appeared to be handbags.
Now the yellas! Our 1st championship meeting in modern times.
To lose that match doesn't bear thinking about!!!!!!!!!!

Kilcoo were excellent tonight all over the field . Hard working outfit with live wire forwards whos excellent movement cut B Ford to shreds anytime they went forward . Defintely the best team on show this weekend and will be hard to stop . Was very dissapointed with Ballyholland tonight looked out of sight after 20 mins to looking clueless for the remainder . No ideas at all no leaders although the 2nd goal was dubious to say the least .

Kilcoo won with good direct football, Bryansford's threat nullified by (a) too much handpassing followed by (b) silly route one lumping the ball to Kalum who was cleaned out time and again by McGrevy.
Sensible refereeing throughout by Rice who was quite right to penalise the idiots who engaged in nonesense at the end when the game was over and done with.

while we were well beat it needs pointed out paul devlin got off with throwing a punch at gribben in the first half directly in front of ref and linesman while two minutes later hanna got a yellow for pushing the 2 brannigans off maginn.
bryansford were tactically inept again and motivation wasnt there - why they set the team up to man mark kilcoo is madness - maginn needs to be chf, howard chb for a start - how the management didnt see after 20mins things needed to change is beyond me.
fair play to kilcoo though they are the team to beat and big mcgreevy looks fit for county duty.

Thought the two best teams won tonight. Clann na Banna fully deserved their win. Magee very good at the back and Hill up front made some hard hits. young Lenaghan looks a handfull. McArdle going off for Annaclone was a big loss. Burren cut Bridge wide open at times - pace in their forward line is frightening. Fair play to Mayobridge - kept plugging away and forwards were living on scraps. End of an era for this great team?

games on friday were poorish in quality but excitment was good. Magee looked as good as any defender on display at the weekend, very good at carrying the ball from defence. Annaclone defence in gerneral looked all over the place but clann na banna didnt put them away. hard to call intermediate winner based on weekend results.

burren too good in the end for the bridge. Burren's running off the shoulder in the first half was an example of how gaelic should be played. bridge came back well in second half but burren had enough wuality and energy to see it through. they will be hard to beat again this year!!

I think you forgot to mention Joe Irelands strike that warrented a red in the incident you refer too.
Have to agree with you on the fords tactics, totally played into our hands and was easy to defend against.

MDG, which one of the Mc Evoys was wearing the white boots and no 29? He is a complete liability to your team and you would be safer off without a man like that playing because he could let you down and cost you in the semi final or final.

I do think Kilcoo got away with an awful lot off the ball last night, but the linesman closest to the stand in the first half was a joke, the ginger boy, he seen Brannigan slap Maginn twice round the head off the ball and got away with it. Plus Kilcoo 3rd man tackled the ford nearly everytime the ball was released.

It was a terrible spectacle, a major let down and I feel a fussy referee and strong sideline officials could be Kilcoo s downfall as they are an extremely cynical team. Unfortunately its all falling into Burrens hands again, cant see Rostrevor getting within 5 or 6 points to be fair.

Brannigan gave maginn alot of abuse - shame because conor is a fair player.
who was that ginger lad?
