Down Club Hurling & Football

[Square Ball]

Hope the Bredagh v Bford is still on

[SCENTOFSAM]

Mayobridge v Bosco minor semi-final is moved to Ballymartin    surely saval, Burren or even Newry would have been fit to hold this!!!!

What a f**king joke, cant believe this. taking two teams away to there is unbelievable. Typicable county board.

Not a county board decision. Youth Board decide these fixtures.
Think it is a bit rich of S Down clubs complaining of venues when most the likes of Burren/Mayobridge/Clonduff get preferential treatment. Newry is hardly convenient to Loughinisland for SFC

would you not agree that burren saval or newry would have benn better for both clubs for todays mainor match??
yes i agree that the burren/loughinisland match should have been in castlewellan or newcastle.  anyway if loughinisland make it to final they will have to play in newry anyway!!

[SCENTOFSAM]

But are they available or in condition after the recent weather.
My one concern about  Ballymartin would be the wind on a day like this which could ruin it as a spectacle

mayobridge minors won by 6 points in a game which was spoilt by a gale force wind blowing straight across the field!

[mixer boy]

glenn minors were beat by 2 points by longstone in the b chamionship. 1-9 til 1-11. thought the referee was very poor giving some strange free kicks. he say micheal ireland lash out at a glenn player twice and did nothin about it. he never brought and linesmen with him so alot of stuff goin on off the ball that were unpunished. was a very gud game of football with both teams giving everything they had.

[mixer boy]

all round was a gud year for glenn underage wif the under 16s beating in the semi by burren but proved they r still the best team in south down by beating them in the league three weeks later in a game that meant nothin to glenn but burren had to win to have a chance of winning the league. u 14s won the fiele and did the county proud down in cavan and were very unlucky not to beat rostrevor in the championship at the quarter final stage. rostrevor went on to win it. hopefully they can start climing the divisions again in a few years and get glenn into senior championships again

[Mourne Rover]

MFC A SF Bryansford 1-10 Bredagh 1-5. The score is misleading, as the Ford goal came with the last kick in what was a very tight game. Bredagh had a nervous start against the wind at Ardglass, and took a long time to settle. By the time they did, the Ford were seven up. Bredagh steadily pegged them back, and, if a couple of big refereeing calls had not gone against them, they might have sneaked it. It was up for grabs in injury time, with the Ford just holding on by two points and Bredagh throwing everything at them. One misplaced pass saw a three on one breakway for the Ford  goal. The Ford were strong down the middle, which suited the heavy conditions.

good call on the game, I like you thought that there were a few very strange decisions by the ref...
