Co Board v gaaboard (based on Div 3)

gaaboard ahead 4 results to 2 at this point.  Only 2 more results due (A'derg v D'aness & Teconnaght v St Johns)
Still a big improvment by the Co Board's Board.

Club Down Re-launched



Club Down, the driving force behind the recent redevelopment of Pairc Esler in Newry, is being re-launched, taking on a wider and evolving role as the main commercial and fund-raising body for the GAA in Down.

A new committee has been established to work in unison with the County Committee with the aim of building a sustainable basis for the future success of Down on and off the field.

An ambitious programme of initiatives and events will be announced at a number of special Information Evenings where supporters can learn what is happening and have a say in this new direction for Club Down and the county.

The dates and venues of these are:

Tuesday 21st April   Wellington Park Hotel, Belfast
Wednesday 22nd April  Canal Court Hotel, Newry
Thursday 23rd April   Slieve Donard Hotel, Newcastle
The evening will commence at 7. 30 pm at each venue, with refreshments, guest speakers and an AV presentation.

This is a hugely significant announcement and I'm surprised there hasn't been some comment on this. It looks to me like the sort of plan Down have been crying out for and we should get behind this 100%.
Down on the way up big time with this.

Harps were played off the field by An Riocht tonight. Ballyholland were very disappointing - nobody put their stamp on the game at all. But I was well impressed with the Kingdom - they looked a bit more physical and determined than in recent years.

The ref (I can't recall his name) was a disgrace. We had the same man in the reserves a few weeks and he obviously doesn't like yellow shirts.

Square Ball,
The Co Board's Board came through late to win the race - well done to whosoever deserves it - Mr C--h-l I presume.

5 teams in the playoffs onion bag? this year there is automatic promotion for first place and 2nd play third for place in league final.

Thats the first time we have beaten Bredagh away from home  in a League encounter since 2001. 8 years of Cherryvale pain has finally been erased.

Was McComiskey playing?

it was a hard game DF, ruined IMHO by a referee who was bad for both teams

[In the Onion Bag]

Minus - My rithmatic is always doubtful but on this accasion I simply couldn't decide between Saul and Ardglass.

Mid Down Gael: - PMcC played No13 tonight against Bredagh and was kept quite quiet by a Bredagh flying machine.  Maybe he was saving himself for the U21 final.

Was chatting to a neutral who was at the game who reckoned Mc Comiskey was excellent and that the Dundrum Keeper gave the worst exhibition he'd ever seen.

Not true minus, the way I believe it to be is that whoever finishes top of Division 3 goes into the league final with 2nd & 3rd playing of to see who joins them in the league decider.
The winner of the league final is the only team to be promoted from Division 3.
