If thats the case with the Rostrevor v Kilcoo game is there any chance of the Mayobridge v Castlewellan game being brought forward a bit? 7.30 is a late kick off on a Saturday evening for spectators who might also have plans, surely this game could be brought forward to 7pm or even 6.45 now to let people away that wee bit sooner and not 9 o'clock at night.

Dulaney, youre far too fond of the oul drink ye boya!!!

Don't know the vaildity of this but supposedly tomorrow's ACFL Division 3 relegation playoff between Bosco and Teconnaught has been called off. From what ive heard Teconnaught were told on Thursday night that they would be remaining in Division 3 for 2009 and that Bosco would be joining St Michaels in Division 4 next year.
Now, from what Ive taken from it, Teconnaught have utilised some by-law which states that after the round of playoff games are completed then score difference will determine the final position. Obviously then after the three games Teconnaught had the best score difference.
In another twist Ive heard that Bosco are now rejecting St Johns promotion to Division 3 on the grounds that they have broken a by-law by not fielding twice in the League this season.
Anybody hear anything like this?

Jealous? No
Stirring wee bugger? No
If you read the start of the post, I questioned the vaildity of this.

On another note, I don't hold a hint of jealousy towards St Johns. What would I be jealous of?

DF, I heard the same thing - the Bosco/Tec part - from a Bosco club member last night so it seems to have some merit. They certainly believe they're down  The St Johns saga, I'm not sure on, and tbh its getting a bit tedious how these things run on - the county board need to make the situation clear by implementing on the rules and if thats tough on St Johns then rules are rules and should be applied irrespective of the status, personalities or vociferous supporters they have.

DaddyLongLegs - you haven't been on here long enough to know I'd guess but DownFanatic has always given his honest opinions and has been very timely with info to clarify things for a lot of us Down posters. We really have to get away from the almost childish slagging someone for an opinion (or fact)  that seems to be happening more often now (is this board falling behind even hoganstand now as a result??) and bring it back to open debate and early news of the things that affect gaelic games and Down football. Jealous of St Johns? come on!

any reports on the bridge castlewellen game last night?

Easy 7 point win for Mayobridge.

[bridgegael]

forget the final score lads,  poor match in front of poor crowd.  bridge started off well but were very wasteful up front.  castlewellan came back into it with couple of point and then a goal to put them two up.  'bridge upped it from then scoring 1.06 without reply.  second half was poor,  missed chances from both sides and it couldn't have finished soon enough.

Liatroim well better by Gort Na Mona in the Ulster IHC final.  Annaclone on next.

[sean og]

By all a counts Annaclone didnt fair out much better with
the third division team from Derry.

Again not sure if theres any merit with what DF says, but for St. Johns to even place themselves in a poisition where by the rumour mill is in force, in my opinion is nothing short of football suicide.

[boscomo]

Boys just to clarify Newry Bosco have not contested St.Johns promotion from div 4 to div 3 that is a job for the co.board to deal with. As far as our own situation goes just watch this space.
