Down Club Hurling & Football

Sense would say that there would have to be a playoff, but sense is something lacking in our County Board.

I heard recently that quite a number of clubs have been fined for having more than 24 players on their panel for championship games. Are the County Board so broke they have to fine clubs for this? A really stupid rule at any level and even county teams are allowed to strip more than 24 players.

Indeed Cloc Mor, I think we have been fined twice now this year, its a joke, its quite a low and miserable thing to do the County's own clubs.

I was told the IHC score was

Ballycran 5.15 Ballygalget 1.7

The competition turned into a bit of a joke after the senior championship was played. James Coyle scored about 10 points when crans beat shamrocks earlier in the comp and then he played senior champ, while 4-5 of ballygalgets best 2nds played in the senior final ruling them out of todays game.

Ballycran beat Ballygalget 5-16 to 1-07 in a one-sided IHC final in Portaferry yesterday. Both teams were missing the big players that had got them to the final but Ballcran clearly didn't miss theirs as much. Ballygalget were very poor throughout and the game was effectively over by half time when Ballycran went in leading by 7.
Some of the Galgets tactics were questionable with off the ball striking and they were lucky not to have had more than one sent off. The teams finished 14 aside after a 30 man brawl 10 minutes into the second half. That was about the most exciting part of the game. Still Ballycran will be delighted to have won their first IHC in 10 years, following on from the SHC win last week.
