Have to agree it was brutal and the minor ref wasn't eny better !

What way are the up and downs for promotion and relegation working, have been told a few things but not 100% sure. I know Ballymartin are up and Loughinisland play one of the bottom teams from Div1. That's my lot☺️ A wee nudge

 Looking on the bright side for a change, we are guaranteed to have one team at next years All Ireland final.

Great win for Rostrevor minors tonight 1.7 to 1.6 against Warrenpoint, its tough on CPN as Rostrevor scored 3 points in final minutes.

[Leftmidfield]

Rostrevor didn't score for about 40 mins then scored a goal with about 10 mins to go to equalise 1.03 to 0.6. Rostrevor then went a point ahead only for CPN to score a goal but rostrevor dug in and scored 3 points in final 3 or 4 mins

Please explain.

Floodlights in Burren aren't adequate for a big match like this; not fair to the minors on both sides. Rostrevor just about deserved it. Warrenpoint dominated either side of half-time, but Rostrevor much stronger in the last 20 mins. Playing down the hill in Burren is an advantage at under-age level

91 team due to be honoured before next years final. 25 years on, hard to believe!! I take it that's the team he's talking about.

Forgot about that Presentation.

It was a poor game last night due in part to the conditions. It would have reminded you of the AI Final the way the players were slipping and sliding and ball handling was tough.  The game only got going in the last 10 minutes.  Warrenpoint were leading by 3 and looked the better team, and but for a couple of misplaced passes would have been further ahead.  However you sensed that Rostrevor were starting to get their act together just prior to the goal they scored and to be fair they totally dominated from that moment on, with Warrenpoints goal a rare moment of joy for them in that last 10 (plus significant injury time). 

Best players for both teams were on defence with the full back lines in particular having very good games.  Point forwards looked sharper throughout but didnt put the scores up, while in the last 10, Rostrevors half back line cleaned up.

Rostrevor always seem to be strong at the Minor grade. They won 3 or 4 All County Championships in the 2000's and from memory a couple in the 90's. It's strange that none of that Minor success has translated to Senior silverware for the Reds. Kilcoo are the shining example of translating underage dominance to the Senior grade.

[supersub]

Strange game, low scoring and poor handling all round. Reds looked to be dead and buried when the Point got their goal, but fair play to them they stuck at it and sent over 3 unanswered points in injury time. Young Chris Killen was super at corner back, only an U16 too. An interesting final to look forward to in two weeks, Shamrocks will be well up for it after the league defeat a few weeks back.

[FML]

Loughinisland as runners up in Div 2 will play off against the 6th from bottom team in Div 1, currently Longstone but dependant on several results in final round of games.
Bottom 5 in Div 1 are relegated, Ballymartin are promoted as Div 2 champs.

Do 8 go down from division 2?
