Down Club Hurling & Football

[dundrumite]

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.

Carryduff v Shamrocks
Annaclone v Glasdrumman
An Riocht v Kilclief
Darragh Cross v Atticall
Downpatrick v Ballyholland
Clann na Banna v Ballymartin

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?

Will you car boot sale be over to allow games on a Sunday?

When being smart it pays to double check your post to be sure it makes sense. 
To answer your question yes it would be over.

carryduff senior hurlers' first game in the betsy gray cup on wednesday.... carryduff to stun ballyvarley and come out on top by 5pts.

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.

What's the story with the Joe McCrickard and Bety Gray cups, are there fixtures now available?

Sorry for my ignorance, but just wanted to clarify did Bredagh just come up this year into division 3?  If so well done, congratulations to the club they have more than consolidated their place and I'm sure will build on this to try and push for promotion next year!

[Square Ball]

D4S, this is our 3rd year in Div three  , if congratulations are due for comming up from Div 4 and doing well they should be for St Johns.

Well then I apologise for my ignorance as I said before! I was just having a dumb moment. Well done St Jons

St. Johns certainly flying and beating the top team twice in a season is certainly no mean feat.
Bryansford beat Clonduff 2-12 to 2-08

Very odd season for Bredagh. You's have made the playoffs the past two years and I definitely thought that Bredagh would have been the team to make a real stab at the playoffs this year again.

That was a bad defeat at home to Saul. Whats happened the squad Square Ball? I see that a lot of young lads have made the step up. Maybe just a case of inexperience?
