Good man Onion can you answer my query about the EDRL?

[In the Onion Bag]

Cheers passedit,
So bloodly obvious now. Thanks, thats been annoying me for weeks now.

Sorry I cannot give a definite answer to your question but my understanding is it doesn't matter who tops Div 3 as all top 4 must play off.

ACHL Div1

Ballygalget 4 20
Ballela       1 04

Ballygalget fielded what will be more or less their intermediate team tonight barring two, G Flynn and the dog. With Dingy and Chrissy Braniff ready made replacements for both it'll not weaken the team a whole pile.

Finally we've got backs in backs positions and forwards in forwards positions.

ACHL Div 1
Castlewellan 3-9 1-6 Clonduff. After a poor league campaign the Town have gotten over their injuries and are in good form coming into the championship where Bredagh are waiting for them. I heard that Bredagh were beaten by Ardoyne in the Antrim league on Sunday night. That must be a surprise.

I hear John Murphy is looking at a start in midfield for Down on saturday against Kerry. What's he like?

[Whitehair]

He's good from a dead ball, would hit all hilltowns frees and but has done very little from play anytime we'v played them. He may have sharpened up since his time on the senior panel but in truth, if all players in down were available for county selection i doubt he'd get on the panel. Here's hopin he doesnt prove me wrong in the junior champ.

JC - He's a good player who stands out in the Down league & for the juniors but I've never seen him play senior. He scored something like 3-10 for Clonduff in the championship Q/F last year but that was against Warrenpoint!

Bacon - It's right what you heard - Bredagh aren't going too well at the minute. Castlewellan will be big favorites for the championship.

[Whitehair]

Aye good man lecale, talk yourselves down! You's have the junior champ won already

I thought that it was your seconds team that playes in Antrim??

Is big Ally McAllister playing with you now?

[Lecale2]

You're right on both counts Johnnycool. Ali can still hurl a bit!
Did you get a run out last night yourself? If Martin Coulter is fit (I was told a couple of weeks ago he needed his other knee cleaned out) and plays in the IHC he can still play Senior later in the year. Isn't that right?

[boscomo]

yes we beat bright in bright and may i say they have a great set up , thier pitch is like a runway, too feckn long,

[passedit]

Just looked at the Down website, the competition rules state 3 team playoffs for promotion and relegation in Div Three. This doesn't seem to have been updated since 2003 however.

I did indeed

He can play junior as well providing he doesn't feature for either the intermediates or seniors before the junior game but once he goes up a level he can't play for a team below that grade.

[Our Nail Loney]

What about fionnbharr murphy getting a run out for the hurlers?? I knwo he's got a bad hand at the minute but when he's healed?
