Jim McCorry was best manager for Mayobridge and the Bridge should have kept him.

Kilcoo done very well with McCorry on sideline.

Now Burren is looking for??

Burren have been sourcing Mc Corry since before the county final this year.  There are conflicting stories around what he is doing though.  Some reckon he is staying and some say he will go as he has taken Kilcoo as far as he can..  This would be a major coup for Burren if they could pull it outta the bag though...  Any other movement on the management front??

I dare say that unless Crossmaglen get closed down, then Mccorry has taken Kilcoo as far as any Down club team will go in the next few years.

Anybody make it too the challenge game today? Who played well?

[NP 76]

Was down at the game tonight on a bitter evening.A poor enough crowd there but for all that £1500 was raised as well as some euros.A poor enough game which is to be expected at this time of the year and with nothing at stake. New lads playing were D mc kibben at chb who put in a good shift and at least knows to cover back in the centre ,C Duggan at mid field who tried hard but looked of the pace but that is to be expected also.G Mc Anulty was wing half forward and tried hard but looked exhausted at times when running back ,R Kelly and P Mc Comiskey played in the full forward line with Arthur Mc Comiskey did a lot of work and also an awful amount of tracking back which can't be said of A Carr who once the man passed him by just gave up the ghost.One lad that was very impressive was Danny Savage who looked very lively going forward and hit 3 great long range point one of which was a free.He always seemed to want the ball and worked well linking the play.At stages tonight we continued to kick big high ball into 1 forward Mc Comiskey with 2 to 3 men around him .We seemed to have trouble getting men forward as they all were back defending.This did change in the 2nd half when both C Harrison and A Burns played close to the square and were and outlet for a big ball in.Two very soft goals by silly mistakes in the defence were yet again the problem for us even when we have 10 men behind the ball these mistakes keep re occurring .I think myself and I don't like criticising the fella but our goalkeeper is a major problem in putting a suspect defence under more pressure.He dropped numerous high balls tonight one of which he then collided with the post .His kick outs were the same as normal right down the middle when we had men making runs for him he looked like he wasn't confident hitting a quick one .For all that it's good to get back running again
