Down Club Hurling & Football

[centre 3/4s]

Why are you lot thinking of nicking it?

[goldenyears]

Harps v d.cross called off due to waterlogged pitch

Incessant rain meant game had no chance

[DownFanatic]

Senior games down for 6.30pm on Friday night I hear. That will cause a bit of hassle.

Does anyone know the name of the Down Minor Football championship cup?

The Collie Curran Cup possibly. Im not too sure though.

True a great first half performance that day... however if they do manage to overcome ballyvarley they have another game against the point. Not a good draw!

Anyone got any results from tonight?

[thewobbler]

I have to say that the 6.30 throw-in time is effing ridiculous, and it's going leave a number of clubs short on their first XV.

Obviously it isn't deliberate but have a look at Division II this week. It wouldn't be possible to create a fixture list with as many long away trips if you sat down with a pen and paper.

100 % right.... Ideally a team wants to be down an hour before throw in. With this in mind take St. Pauls Hollywood coming to play us for example. If they are looking to get to Dundrum for 5.30 they will realistically have to leave at 4.15 with traffic being taken into account. Do the county board not take people working into account?  Surely there has to be a way of combatting this.
  Why aren't they fixed for a Saturday or Sunday afternoon? Alternatively could the fixtures be strategically worked out at the start of the year so that when the situation comes around of earlier dark evenings neighbouring teams are playing each other?

If they play the way they did in the first half v Warrenpoint in the JHC they have every chance!

if i had to put money on it i would say carryduff will beat ballyvarley: as i said about the game against castlewellan their players just dont have the pace to stick with even an en experienced carryduff side, especially on a big field! Carryduff to win handy enough. 

[Town Gael]

Castlewellan Vs Bryansford is moved to Sunday night at 6pm.
Surely the county Board should have had all fixtures on Sunday.
