The Down website states that Ballyholland beat Saval 13-9 in division two this evening!!!

An Riochts 4 county players all played and played well. Marty C kicked 0-3 with John scoring a brilliant 1-4. Colgan was strong and resourceful at 6. Liam Doyle played the full game at midfield for Liatroim and was their top player.

Solid start by our lads despite Saval using the wind to lead by 4 points at half time. As said before Murtagh was majestic from the dead ball...Wee James was in the crowd and wouldnt have recognised the Danny Hughes that turned up for Saval today....he was kept very quiet.   Shams up next on Friday night and then we'll take the Grand National on Saturday to round off a good week

A Chara,

CCC has decided due to the intense schedule of our Senior County Players over recent weeks that the games scheduled for April 9th for Div 2 3 & 4 will go ahead as planned, but the County Senior Manager would ask those clubs who have county panalists to maybe consider playing those games earlier in the week if possible. The series of games for all clubs due to be played on Mon April 12th will be moved to later in the season. Games scheduled for Fri April 16th will go ahead as planned with the full involvement of county panalists. Games to be played on April 23rd which were already agreed as being "possibly starred" are now "starred" for county panalists.

Good start for the Harps. 

Kilclief V RGU looking very doubtful for Monday, our pitch is completely waterlogged and it usually holds the water very well.  By all accounts Downpatrick is in bad shape aswell.

To drink or not to drink, that is the question.............................

It's not often that Kilcief can't host a match.

Lecale. Whats the craic with this ref strike, and more importantly, will it effect wed nite's games??

[Lecale2]

There's no strike. A load of sh*te.

Had it on good authority before the rain that Kilclief woul be looking this match off.
Never heard of their pitch being unplayable

a pal of mine rang to say that the Ballykinlar pitch was un- playable after the rain of the last few days and that was most unusual

An Riocht got out of jail last night big time. Liatroim were coasting when a speculative shot by Marty Clarke came off the bar & was fisted home by his brother John. Until this point The Kingdom looked clueless & a ridiculous piece of Refereeing effectively handed them the game.

A scrap for the ball developed on the Liatroim 21 line & there was players from both sides fighting for the ball yet an official who was in the An Riocht half of the field spotted a pick off the ground & put The Kingdom one up.
He then started a melee  through his incompetence to deal with a straight forward sideline ball & the 2 resulting hop balls resulted in scuffles.
Boys may say ultimately that the players are at fault but as a neutral I felt the Ref caused the trouble that occurred & ultimately won An Riocht the game. Liatroim did have chances to come back but against the wind it proved to be a step too much.

Marty Clarke was well shackled by Aidan Rice & was fairly quiet while his County colleague James Colgan had a very tough time on PP McCartan who kicked some lovely scores , highlighting Colgan's weakness when faced with a player who directly takes him on.

John Clarke was good for An Riocht but Liam Dowyle for me was probably the best player on the field catching some great ball & using his left foot to good efffect in setting up Liatroim attacks
