Down Club Hurling & Football

[Dulaney]

Take it that it must be Saval v Liatroim/Longstone
1/4 final line up then:
Mayobridge     v     Bryansford
Burren            v     Kilcoo/Kingdom
Loughinisland   v     Downpatrick/Ballymartin
Saval              v     Liatroim/Longstone

The first two games above will be the showpieces
Could be an end to Bryansfords unbeaten run although u never know, they have good c/ship pedigree although playin in Division 2 might put them at a slight disadvantage. im sure Mayobridge won't take them lightly though, the better team on the day probably lost in last years semi-final (due to 3.3 from Benny Coulter)

bridge won by 3, clonduff fell foul of a couple of ref decisions!

JFC dromara 0.03 st johns 1.15, game was played in bright, pitch looked in great shape, this place is definitely a contender to host more championship games this year if the wet weather continues

Totally agree. Our U-16's were playing there last week. Unbelievable surface. Like a carpet. Ballynoe is definitely a serious contender for Championship games.

Have to agree with previous posts regarding the Bright pitch. Excellent condition givin the rain we have had. Pity the match tonight didn't live up to the surrounding.

bridge won by 3, clonduff fell foul of a couple of ref decisions!

you serious man??  wat decisions were these??  i thought he gave clonduff handy frees within scoring range.

thought the ref was very whistle happy the whole game for both sides, lots of very handy frees given, anytime there was a sniff of a 2 man tackle, or even overcrowding the free was given, if brown had have scored that goal early on it may have been a differnebt match/result

[Bacon]

Is the Ballela/Warrenpoint game going ahead in Newry? Is the pitch playable after all the rain?

Havent heard otherwise but i'l let you know if i do.

[D4S]

2/7 Kilcoo  7/1   An Riocht  5/2
5/6 Kilcoo -5  8/1  An Riocht +5  5/6

4/6 Ballymartin  7/1   Downpatrick  5/4

I think AN Riocht good value at 5/2 this will be a tight game. Can't see them being beaten by more than 4 or 5 points so the handicap betting is good for anyone that doesn't want to risk backing An RIocht at 5/2.  I fancy Kilcoo by a couple of points.

Guys are teams not allowed to have a weeks break before the C'ship games? Liatriom/Stone play on Sat in the replay and whoever wins will have to play Saval on the following Fri which is 6 days and the same goes for Bryansford. They play Clann na Bana on Mon then play the Bridge 6 days later on the Sun! Surely thats asking alot of the players especially since the Bridge and Saval have longer breaks!
