More like 90-10 I should think.

didn't think it was that much, but sure, hopefully that will change tomorrow night! 

The last 2 years in division 3 Bredagh won all games (4 games).
The year before Bredagh won 2 and lost 1
The year before that St Paul's won 1 and drew 1.
The year before that St Paul's won 1 and Bredagh won 1.

Bredagh 7 wins (64%)
St Paul's 3 wins (27%)
1 draw. (9%)

didn't think was as bad as 90-10!! 
by the way, can any of the Bredagh posters confirm what shape the Cherryvale pitches are in at the minute, and if this rain keeps up, will they be playable this evening?

The boggier the better, might keep the score down.

[Square Ball]

they will be fine guys, Cherryvale is well drained, may be a bit boggy round the nets but adds to the excitement

Warrenpoint  4 0 4 0 35 63 -28 0

The Bridge and Burren have both made unbeaten starts and Rostrevor have looked impressive as well. Liatroim have suprised me with their half decent start.
As expected Warrenpoint prop up the table and Id expect them to be there for the rest of the year. Clonduff and Loughinisland have also made woeful starts.

Darragh Cross  4 0 2 2 42 56 -14 2

An Riocht look the team to beat in this Division with a 100% start. Surprisingly enough Atticall have made a good start as have Banbridge. Kilclief also looked to have stepped it up a gear this season.
Ballyholland seem to be suffering from early season jitters but you would expect them to get their act together soon. Shamrocks, Carryduff and Darragh Cross have all looked indifferent.

St Pauls  3 1 2 0 34 39 -5 2
Aghaderg  4 0 4 0 37 61 -24 0

Tullylish have made their customary storming start to the League and youd expect them to be on top for the rest of the season. Glenn seem to have upped the ante this year and look strong in second place. Saul and St Johns looked to have also made reasonable starts.
Aghaderg look set for a long tough season at the basement and St Pauls and Drumaness will have to up their game big time to climb up the ladder. Id expect Bredagh to make big strides over the next month.

Bryansford 0-11 Mayobridge 0-11 (Senior Football)

30/04/2009


Mayobridge travelled to Newcastle hoping to make it four wins from four in their league campaign but Bryansford certainly hadn't read the script and in the end Mayobridge were fairly lucky to come away with a point. Joe Ireland opened the scoring in the second minute before Shane O'Hare kicked a fine point to equalize five minutes later. John Quinn converted a free in the tenth minute which Bryansford clawed back a minute later, Michael Walsh got in on the scoring before Ronan Sexton ran forty yards to kick a good point. The Ford scored two frees in the remainder of the half while Michael Walsh scored a Mayobridge free to leave the half time score Bryansford 0-4 Mayobridge 0-5

Mayobridge started the second half aided with a stiff breeze and showed signs they might go on and kill the game off when Ryan Brady and Michael Walsh scored points early in the half. Bryansford refused to lie down and replied with two frees then another Joe Ireland point to equalize the game and a fourteenth minute free to take the lead. Points from Michael Walsh and John Quinn put the Bridge back in front but it was at this stage that the game really started to get exciting. Bryansford were awarded a penalty on the twentieth minute which was well saved by Liam Coulter, Ciaran Brannigan then rattled the Bridge cross bar after a good 'Ford move. Bryansford were well in the ascendency at this stage in the game and having failed to convert their two good goal chances the Newcastle men had to settle for two points scored in quick succession in the twenty first and second minutes to put the home team a point up. Mayobridge had introduced Noel Sexton at this stage and he was able to convert a free to draw the sides level. In the thirty third minute Cathal Magee scored a point and looked to have sealed the victory but the referee deemed there was still some time to be played and it was well into the thirty sixth minute that Bryansford got a free to draw the game which if truth be told was no more than the home side deserved.

Mayobridge Team & Scorers: Liam Coulter, Gavin Barry, Brendan Grant, Seamus Grant, Conleth O'Hare, Micheal Lively, Eoghan Woods, Shane O'Hare (0-1), Ronan Sexton (0-1), Michael Walsh (0-4), Adrian Barry, Ryan Brady (0-1), Cathal Magee (0-1) and John Quinn (0-2)

Subs used: John Caldwell for Conleth O'Hare, Noel Sexton (0-1) for Adrian Barry, Caolan Lynchaoun for Gavin Barry

Good assessment!

[amallon]

Spirit - Who was your number 12 last night?  He had a great game.

[WhoAreYaWhoAreYa!]

ooh ahh say pete mcgrath,
say ooh ah sports tracka!!

[BRIDGE LAD]

Mallon, that was Chris Brannigan! Did u think he played well? He can certainly take a free!
What did u think of the performance?

[amallon]

Yeah thought 12 had a good game.  The Bridge performance was poor all through the game too many poor options were taken and not enough breaks won.  Some players didn't look that fit, but the pitch was fierce heavy going with all the rain there was in the last while.  I wouldn't be overly worried though, nothing is won this time of year.  If we had put in that performance in August then we'd have reason to worry.

Good squad player. Offers an alternative around midfield when we come up against a physical oppositiion who like to mix it.
