Down All County Football League Final - OFF

The Down All County Football League Final between Bryansford and Mayobridge fixed for tonight has been called off tonight due the pitch in Newry being unplayable due to the heavy rainfall over the last number of hours.

An Riocht won by virtue of them being expected to win.

National newspapers were covering the event to get a photo of Marty Clarke in action and lifting the trophy so to facilitate this and get some good PR for a while the County Board arranged a sham game. An Riocht duly defeated a Shamrocks U-14 team (who were training at the time) dressed up in Ballyholland look a like jerseys provided by Sean Og, and presented the trophy after 5 minutes of action to the great satisfaction of everyone in the world.

What

?

I would say its off due to the fact their is an ulster club double header on sunday planned for newry and fear off tonigts game ruining the pitch for this. I thought the bridge would be happy for it to be off after the memories off the Kilcoo game in Hilltown which should never have went ahead.

Thats disapointing. I thought it could have been switched to Burren before cancelling it or even the possibility off playing the ballymartin v cookstown game on sunday in Burren or Saval avoiding the need for a double header. Was lookin forward to a good game tonight myself.

I don't think a division one final should be played mid-week!!!! Leave it to the following Friday

Drumgath 2 - 18 Glenn 0 - 11

Drumgath where very impressive. Jack Lynch, Colm Maginn, Mark Connelly, Packie Downey, Peter Hynes and Stephen Parsons where excellent. How Parsons was not on Down minor team this year i will never no. A classy young player. Downey was the man of the match with 5 or 6 great scores from play and great workrate at centre half.
