Cant understand why the final is again at the end of september - we will have another summer of inactivity at club level even though the county team will be finished in June again.
Championship should be finished in the sunday between the hurling and football all irelands when we are near sure to get good weather - the past 3 down finals have been played in terrible conditions.

If the county team are out of the championship there is no reason to leave the final so late.  Get it played early and our county champions a chance to get over injuries and get ready for the Ulster championship.

I have a feeling that the new activities secretary will be sympathetic towards that view Aidan.

From a hurling point of view I beg to differ. The moving of the hurling club championships to later on in the yearhave helped the Down clubs compete in Ulster as we now play the Down final, then straight into the Ulster club series so no momentum is lost. It used to be that the hurling final was played the last Sunday in August then you had no game in the Ulster club championships till late September, early October with little or no league hurling to keep you ticking over. You may pick up injuries but that can happen any time even training.

I don't know how the Ards clubs will take the final being moved to Newry, but from a personal opinion I don't mind and we can't really complain about Antrim not wanting to move out of Casement to play in Newry if we won't play there ourselves.

This 100.5 FM online listening service is a ballix. It won't work for me and Ive got feck all reception here in Newcastle. Im sure somebody will post up the draws ASAP.
