Down Club Hurling & Football

[T O Hare]

after everything my father done for their club too

[Whitehair]

ACHL Div1

Kilclief 2.11 Ballela 2.15

We were leading 0.3 to 0.11 midway through the first half then kilclief got a man sent off for 2 yellows, for two bad strokes. We then fell apart, lead 0.6 to 0.11 at half time and 15min into the second half kilclief lead by a point. We then regrouped to pull away with 5 to go.

Classic line from one one the kilclief midfielders

Kilcief man: "Whats the score ref!?"
Ref: "2.9 to 1.12"
Kilclief man: "Who to!???"

Must been the sea air!

Hurling results from tonight.

Div 1
Shamrocks 3-13 Ballygalget 2-13
Ballela 2-15 Kilclief 1-12
Bredagh v Liatroim postponed.

Div 2
Warrenpoint 0-13 Ballycran 1-10
Castlewellan lost to Ballyvarley by 4 pts.

Any others? Whitehair must be out celebrating another good result for Ballela.

[Whitehair]

Eh not quite, not for the want of trying though! Changed times when we pass Maginns or The Castle in Castlewellan and I cant get the lads to stop for a few!...Must be the price of diesel or something.
BTW I think the score I put up's the right result. Thought Newry would have beaten Ballygalget. Not too sure if it was in Derrylecka or not but the small Derrylecka pitch suits them, Big Courtney and Eoin Mc Guinness up the middle. Simple but effective game plan!

[Lecale2]

Aye. Im sure your score is correct. I got the scores on the mobile at 70 mph on the M1 so I couldnt write them down. The Newry game was played in the Marshes and Courtney was excellent. Very little got past him at CHB and he ran 70 yds with the ball on his stick so score a fine goal.

he ran 70 yds with the ball on his stick so score a fine goal.

How times have changed, he should of been on his arse before he got to the 21 yard line. I'll be having words on thursday night.

Easier said than done, he scored a similar goal against us when he ran about 45yards and was in the process of falling. Tough man to stop when he gets going plus the fact all our back line are 5'10 or under and he's about 6'4, maybe taller.

K Courtney is as strong as an ox & can twist & turn like a snake. Very hard to stop him when he gets going without doing serious damage an riskin a red card.

Are you part of the management team Johnnycool?

In Div 2 Portaferry beat Ballygalget.

Any word on the story that the hurlers have spat the dummy out (again) over the footballers getting better treatment than them and are requesting a training camp in the Slieve Donard this weekend like the footballers had last week?
Cork Footballers are coming there next weekend - wags and all.....

1, I'm not part of the Ballygalget 2nd's management and bigger men that Kieran can be put on their arse if the right man is on the job. You must be a referee Bacon, worrying about red cards and all that. That's why we don't count at the higher levels, our hurling is almost non-contact now.

2, I hope the county hurlers don't want a training weekend in Slieve Donard as we're playing glenariff on sunday and the lads need the rest, priorities and all that
