Ballyholland Burren should be interesting tonight.

[Brick Tamlin]

Cant see how.
Burren will destroy most teams in the league.

Hazard a guess there will be at least 1 sending off tonight.

[whitegoodman]

Ballyholland style of play means they rarely get destroyed.

What makes you think there will be a sending off ?

[Brick Tamlin]

I agree 100% WGM. We were lucky to escape with no reds against Burren. But I'm delighted to see our lads standing up to the (so called) big guns of Down football and not being messed about. We did the same against Rostrevor who started a melee down there in the first game of the league. We did the same to Kilcoo in the last game of the season last year. For far too long we have had a 2nd division mentality and we kowtowed to the aristocracy of Down club football. Those days are over.

last years game and season in general saw them take that approach.
Think that chip still resides on their shoulder.
Expect more chest-beating tonight and inevitable red cards or controversy.
No kowtowing this evening.

Ballyholland will try spoil the game tonight, wont be pleasant to watch but I think Burren will have too much fire power

Burrens strength and depth this year is unreal.Cant see anyone except kilcoo come close to them this year
O Hare majestic tonight for Burren.He give the Ballyholland defence a terrible time.Others to show well were McEntee McGovern McGrath

It was two yellows for Tiarnan. Harps were well on top when he was sent off. Wouldn't get too excited by a team who won by 4 points after playing against 14 men for at least 40 minutes. Harps were missing at least 5 starters as well. Average performance by Burren.

Who were Ballyholland missing tonight ?
Murphy McCrink Quinn?
Thought burren played very well on the night

Ruairí White, Keelan Haughey gone to Canada and Paddy McAnulty didn't start. We were using some of our best reserve players from last year like Conrad Loughran and Chrissy Havern.....and they all did very well. We had chances in the 2nd half.....if Tiarnan had have been still on the field we might have taken them.....but Granny Grandad balls and all that....

[clowry13]

Sure where was half of the burren team tonight 5 SAMs lol

Clowny and Whitegoodman here is a question for you
Burren must have some money to fire away
Ward Copeland Monaghan Vernan?(dundrum) all on the payroll
Surely with all those great underage teams that has come through the ranks use could get 1 good trainer out of them instead of bringing in 3 outsiders to the backroom team ?
Very strange

Top sellers for the Down Club Draw tickets will need it all to be paying this lot alright

Was McKernan fit for Burren last night after his injury in the previous game ?
