Down Club Hurling & Football

[dundrumite]

Get the house on Kilclief for IFC. Form team in Div 2 as far as IFC is concerned

Would you give over!!  We have quite a few boys away on holiday for the Shamrocks game.

My effort:

Longstone
Bryansford  
An Riocht
Loughinisland    
Castlewellan  
Mayobridge
Rostrevor    
Ballyholland    

Carryduff    
Glasdrumman  (Edited in case Mourne Rover has a heart attack at my shite spelling  ) 
Kilclief    
Ballymartin  
Dundrum
Atticall    
Downpatrick  
Darragh Cross
                                 
   
Dromara      
Glenn    
Teconnaught

What about Ballykinlar and Bright?  Do they come into the JFC next round?

I knew you would shoot that one down no 1, you had a few boys away versus RGU and that seemed tpo make no difference, but all on the day.

Ballykinlar will not be fielding in the JFC. The loses in Afganistan are killing them.

[No1]

Lt Col McCashin assured me that the lads of 2 Para coming back from Iraq are more than adequate replacements.  Wing Commander Magennis was not so sure.

Dundrumite you could put 15 of our best sheep out against the RGU and they'd give it a hell of a rattle!  Hopefully the Shams wear green and white hooped jerseys for the championship game.

Junior football Quarter final
Winners of three first round ties join the five teams below

St Pauls
Aghaderg
St John Bosco
Bright
Ballykinlar

Think the draw is already made if going by last year.

We play Aghaderg at the 1/4 final stage, not sure what way the others are drawn.

Just back from a weekend away there so haven't had time to bite at the bait dangled out there by our esteemed Bredagh posters, but personally I couldn't care how many players Drumgath had at Oxygen, or the fact they have also lost a number of other players to the States, but we will take the 2 points all the same. as Passedit said, we have one player back from a long term injury and a few more to come back, so fingers crossed we kick on from here and pick up a few more points, and hope to escape out of the relegation places.

[DownFanatic]

Ardglass beat St Johns by 14 in the second quarter final in the Connolly Cup tonight.

Semi Final draw: Aughlisnafin v Ardglass + Teconnaught/Dromara v Ballykinlar/Dundrum

[Lecale2]

The Finn are making a bit of progess. Fair play to them for sticking at it.

Some statistic from last year prediction league.


19 of First round games SFC, IFC and JFC
12 of Quarter final games SFC, IFC and JFC
6 of semi final games SFC, IFC and JFC

6 Finals of SFC, IFC, JFC, PRFC, RFC and MFC.

In total 43 games. Yet the top poster DownFanatic only got 31 correct.
Again this year, outright wins accepted only.

2008
First round leaders
DownFanatic and Niall Quinn got 17 of 19

Quarter final; top poster
BRIDGELAD with 8 out of 12

Semi final; top posters
DownFanatic, Niall Quinn, of the laces, Umpire, Minus 15, General, Square Ball, Statto-gael, Maiden 1, passedit, SQUAREBALL and eyeswideopen all have 4 out of 6. (nearly all posters went for Burren to beat Loughinisland and Aghaderg to beat Bright but both of them lost!!)

Finals
Only 1 poster got it all correct
D45, 6 out of 6 (lucky devil )
