That was a sweet sweet win.

Nah, had to miss it due to babysitter problem but was in regular contact with the game, I believe we got it back to 2 at one stage with 10 to go?
Tullylish won by 14

Aye, Dundrum led for the whole game. Scrappy got sent off at the start of the 2nd half. However, you's got it back to 2 but we finished strongly.

Ardglass will more than likely go to f**k now after that Tullylish defeat. Two of their main men are suspended for the rest of the year.

Lads writing a preview for the Bridge Loughinisland game. What has gone wrong with Loughinisland this year?  I know they were missing Dan Gordan for a good part of the league but there has to be a lot more going there.

Harps produced their best performance of the year...maybe even in recent memory  tonight to defeat runaway league leaders An Riocht tonight in Pairc Ui Loinsigh. While the Cranfield lads were at full strength apart from James Colgan (who appeared at half time) Harps were minus  the two county seniors plus Robbie White who was a flu victim, their two U21s Joe Murph and Tony Havern and Kieran Murph who was laid low by the thuggery V the Shamrocks.

However the lads who stepped onto the field tonight in their place fought and scrapped for every ball and played some real good football along the way. Paddy McAnulty produced an outstanding performance at full forward to set up two of the three goals and score the other one himself. Soupy Campbell had his hands full with John Clarke but restricted him to 2 or 3 points from play whenever Clarke threatened danger every time he touched the ball. Every man in yellow was outstanding but special mention has to be made of Shane Fitz and Kevin Dunne....two lads who have been on the periphery of the 1st 15 over the last few years but who both popped up with goals tonight to kill of fthe Kingdom.


The hallmark of Terry McGivern and Glen Elmore's influence on this team is their work ethic and the fact that they will not give up....something that was missing last year.

Good enough game between oursleves and warrenpoint this evening. We missed a good ffew chances including a penalty in the first half but we ground out the victory in the end. Both teams missing lot of players as is everyone at the moment it seems, but credit to our lads they fought well against a stern point side. Blues seem to keep gettin beat by the odd point or two, they going to have to turn these around into wins if they are to stay up! Conor Mackin, Brian Cole and Shaun Parr did well for us while young Walker and gary boyle did the scorin for the point! Points team is also very young and with these other players missing are doing well to be within touchin distance in these games!!

at full forward?? what was that all about??

Was a neutral at the Bholland Kingdom game last night. Realy entertaining game between two teams intent on playing football. A tonic for those who say Down football is poor, this game was of a high standard. Big powerful perfomances in the middle of the park for Ballyholland coupled with fast direct ball to the forwards demonstrated yet again that gaelic football played simply is very exciting. They lost their way for the first 10 minutes of the second half when slower approach play was snuffed out by Kingdom's defence but once they deployed the long quick ball again the scores came.
John Clarke was the class player on the field but Kingdom just hoofed the ball into him constantly and Ballyholland always had an extra man in there to help block.
Very sporting game, credit tot both teams.

cant understand why loughinisland are at the bottom, i know they were missing a lot of players at the start of the league but most of the main players are back now which is no excuse.  There defence seems to be very suspect, they pass the ball at least 10 times before it passes the half way line.  A lot of big names in the side but they are not performing.  hope they stay up and draw a line in this season and comeback even stronger next season.

I put it down to lack of movement in the pre-season transfer market this year. Although they dabbled in the underage market they failed to make a big name signing for the Seniors in the close season. A new director of football might be needed to source out future potential recruits if the Island are to maintain Division 1 status.

A Mallon, these were my thoughts on the reason why the Island were struggling this season.
