Really couldnt see it, if Glenn play against bosco the same way the did against us in the 1st round dont think Bosco will get close!

[No1]

Were Kilclief playing tonight? Any result??

No game.  Shamrocks got the game put back AGAIN.

Probably no bad thing for us after the tanking the RGU gave us on Friday night.

Will the comments on here regarding the lingo of your supporters in the last round be relayed to the Kilclief faithful for the Attical game No1?

[thewobbler]

Any foul mouthedness from Kilclief's support in round one was both understandable and acceptable, for after all it was the Shamrocks they were playing.

Seriously though, Kilclief's support are not a patch on the likes of Longstone or Downpatrick for aggression and foul mouthedness. At most clubs there are just a couple of indviduals responsible for most of the bad name, but not there.

I wasn't in the country for that particular game so that's why I didn't comment.  It was a shame to hear about it, especially when the club is currently running a "Respect" campaign. 

There are a few lads who follow us that you couldn't take to the spuds, they are serial offenders and constantly let themselves down.  However, what do you expect from a pig but a grunt? 

I think it is unfair to blame the club for the behaviour of a few empty hoors.  It's no excuse but by all accounts the behaviour of the Shamrocks players in the second half contributed greatly to the horrible atmosphere.

I'd agree with wobbler aswell, there are plenty of supporters around the county much worse than ours and in greater numbers.  Ever been to Ardtole?

Saval at that time was the 'Cinderella club of Down' they played delightful fast open football with Cathal Digney as one of outstanding player in Ireland. In the replay, Saval put up a brave fight but they lost Cathal Digney to a heavy robust tackle in replay game and they also lost Donal Dobbins before replay through being injured.

Will Saval get their revenge this Friday???


That was Burren's 2nd Senior title.. Their first was in 1966.

Hardly a robust tackle umpire, more like an act of dirt by a burren team that had set out to do one thing that day, take cathal digney out of the game. watch the game this friday night no doubt they'll be tryin to do the same again.

[Tomorrow is another day]

No. 1 --

How many times have Shamrocks got that game put back? And what were / are their reasons??

Seems like no other club couldget away with that amount of postponments

[No1]

Second time they have got it put back. 

No reason given, the county board simply informed us it wasn't to be played. 

I couldn't see us getting the same leeway.

this is more likely than not that Downpatrick failed to field as they did again us this year and the same scoreline was printed for that match.

[southdown]

Or maybe the Stone decided to defend their lead?
