[Mourne Rover]

Fantastic performance by Benny, as a non-free taker, to be in the top five championship scorers for five consecutive years, and actually head the list twice.

Can anyone give me the accurate team selections and scorers of Burren and Ballyholland in the First round of this year SFC?

[No1]

Congrats to Kilcoo III yesterday.  A good oul scrap of a match, nothing in it at the end.

Special word for the officials from Bright - atrocious for both sides.

Have to agree with you about the officials number 1. If the referee had have blown fouls when committed the 3 men sent off would never have been. He let it get out off hand in a game where there was very little dirt. the referee caused that scuffle at the end. A great win for the magpies on a 1-12 to 1-9 scoreline. Now its a matter off winning reserve, minor and senior finals. Not going to be easy but we have gave ourselves a chance.

[WhoAreYaWhoAreYa!]

Mayobridge won the treble of premier reserve, minor and senior championships in 08, Kilcoo may just be about to do something similar in 09.

[Long Ball]

Doee anyone know why only some Round 21 league fixtures are going ahead this weekend while some teams such as Castlewellan and Liatroim now have a 3 week break between games? Surely all games should  be played this Saturday (Obviuosly not those involving Loughinisland or Kilcoo)
More ridiculous scheduling by the county board.

[Whitehair]

Ballycran won Hurling final by 5 in the end today in Downpatrick.Well contested game.Final should be in Downpatrick every year.Good place to watch a Hurling game.

Its a good venue alright but the grass was too long on the pitch and slowed the game down with alot more mistakes regarding the lift. Crans weathered the early storm and were the better team after the first 15, open goal missed chance for galgets had a big bearing. Don't know if Ballycran are as strong as two years ago with Brendan Mc Gourty and Benny Ennis being big misses in their forward line.   

Carryduff beat Ballycran in the U16 Champ semi final and Liatroim beat us 2.12 to 2.13 on sunday morning in the league.

Odds for Sunday

Kilcoo 5/6 Draw 7/1 L'Island 6/5.

Island to win by two points.

[johnneycool]

Well done to the Crans, had the better game plan and stuck to it ably assisted by some very stupid decision making our lads. Bad miss by paddy rat, open net 6 yards out all if had to do was flick it rather than his trademark hay maker stroke. Crans doubled up on magic as expected but our use of the spare man was terrible to non existant. Big man was our only threat and Crans were happy to foul him rather than let him through which is fair enough. Good win for the duff in the u-16's but portaferry are very strong at this age and would beat the pick of the county.

Odds for Sunday

Kilcoo 5/6 Draw 7/1 L'Island 6/5.

Island to win by two points.

good price on kilcoo.  after beating the bridge and burren cant see them losing this one.

Exactly, Bryansford are due to play L'Island and have asked to play it under lights some evening next week to keep the thing going - players not getting a game for three weeks this time of year is out of order.

[T O Hare]

Has anyone the up to date division one table??

Leitrim and Castlewellan are just above the drop zone as well, could come down to both of them needing a draw to stay up or 1 of them needing a win and the other having nothing to play for.  The last couple of rounds of games should always be played together.
