I take it you were back to full strength tonight spirit? 

From what I hear one of the ballymartin players got married today and noly half the ballymartin team left the wedding to come to the game...which wasn't changed for whatever reason I don't know!

Longstone beat Kilcoo 0-10 to 0-9, big result on a very wet pitch considering Kilcoo looked to be full strength and we're still missing 3 key players in Ambrose, Mark poland and Michael Higgins!

Bad result 2day, the boys never got into the game at all! Looked a bit tired and sluggish! buts its been a long season. Sad way to end it, they are capable of much better, however there has been definite progress made and with a few players out injured (Doyle, Mc Comiskey, Cole) to come back next year along with a few others possibly K.Duffin...... its not all bad. The lads put a serious effort in this year and it shoudnt be forgotten after this bad performance.

Well at least Ballymartin made an effort to field a team. From what i hear St Johns didn't bother fielding at HOME to Aghaderg, due to some players being at a wedding. Handing Aghaderg 2 point thus giving them an advantage in the race with Dromara for promotion

Intermediate Hurling Championship

Portaferry 3.13 Bredagh 1.8

Portaferry with Paul Braniff playing centre half forward lead 3.4 to 1.3 at half time. Goals from Nigel Kelly, Braniff and Paul Smith in a half when it absolutely bucketed down for a period. Bredagh should have been closer as they'd plenty of the ball just couldnt get points on the board, Ian Galway got their goal I think and Donal Hughes caused Portaferry plenty of problems. The second half was a dour enough affair as the game was never really in the balance, Portaferry points coming from Braniff, Noel Sands and Joe Kelly.

Newry Shamrocks 1.12 Ballygalget 1.10

Newry lead 0.7 to 0.4 at half time over a Ballygalget team containing quite a few U-21's and a few elder statesmen. The game was level 1.7 to 0.10 midway through the second half following a close range Ballygalget goal then Newry moved Kevin Fagan from Half back to full forward and shortly after he scored the decisive goal. In the last minute Ballygalget had a chance to win it but Shamrocks keeper Damien Kearns made a great save putting the ball out for a 65 which was then cleared on full time.

In regards Ambrose thats some amount of players from the Stone who'v had spleen injuries, correct me if im wrong but i think a fella Quinn had to get his removed after playing for the Down minors about 4-5 years ago and Ryan Kelly a couple of years ago also.
