It's brisbane time 1-45 so that's 4-45 back home lad, unfortunately we're training!

[SHEEDY]

clonduff beat b'ford by 1-8 to 0-10. kilcoo beat m'bridge by the same margin 1-13 to 2-9.

[dundrumite]

Dundrum 0-16 Dromara 0-8.

A classic it certainly wasn't with Dundrum pulling away in the last 15 haven't been trailing by a point during the second half

[Mid Down Gael]

Very tight encounter in Kilcoo where it took a well executed Paul Devlin free to swing a deserving win for us in the last minute.
The bridge had a more experienced side lined out and put up a great fight. Their panel is severely stretched with many of thier younger players based in foreign shores.
Referee Brendan Rice was the main talking point throughout though, some baffling calls made. The centre of attention has to be this mans aim in every game.

Happy enough with the Bridge performance considering the five boys in San Fran.  We were really holding onto the game at the end and could have sneaked a draw but Kilcoo were the better team.  The first penalty was stonewall, the second was a bit more doubtful.  Awarded for an off the ball tackle on Benny.

How did Benny do last night, was he on for the whole game?

Just hearing that Decky Moore died this morning.  Very sorry to hear that.  RIP

A gentleman on and off the field and something that cant be said about all referees is that Everyone had a smile on their face when they seen him coming to ref a game as he didnt look down on anyone or any club.

I'm not as good at these things as I used to be, but doesn't the fact that we're in an Ulster final mean we're also in the final 12, and getting a day out at Croke after the final?

Staying in your provincial championship is definitely a much easier path to get there. It's been so long I'm actually confused.

Wobbler we will be back in Croke because we are going to beat Donegal. Did you hear Martin Mchugh (not that he hasnt a clue)to-night?  "Whos going to stop Donegal?"   See you in 3 weeks Martin

It is correct to say that Down are in the last 12 now.  There is a big difference in making it to a provincial final as the losing finalists skip a qualifier round and go into Round 4, whereas losing semi-finalists go into Round 2.
However, there is no guarantee that a Round 4 game will be played at Croke Park, but a quarter final almost certainly will be.
