Mayobridge 2-14 Kilcoo 3-8.

[Dannymcfella]

Loughinisland beat Clann na Banna by a point with more than a little help from Pat McDade. Loughinisland will know they got out of jail with this one. The 'referee'gave them 2 scores which were wide and denied Banbridge a point which was clearly a point after he intially signalled for a point, then in the last minute waved away as blatant a 14 yard free as your ever likely to see. No matter what Clann na Banna done here tonight there was no way on this earth that referee

Division 3
Dundrum 0-08  Drumgath 0-13

The Gath were 0-08 0-03 up at halftime. Eddie McConville and Mark Connolly hitting over a couple of well taken frees.

We got back into it the 2nd half and ended up drawing this period 0-05 each.

We are now in a relegation dogfight. Drumgath arent any big shakes and I wouldn't think they'd be strong enough to compete with the likes of Glasdrumman.

Man of the match was undoubtedly Dougie Sheerin in midfield. Must have won about 7 or 8 clean ball all night. McComiskey also played well bagging 0-06.

[Mourne Rover]

DMcF, in Down, as in every other county in Ireland, we have referees, players and officials, who have good, bad and indifferent days, in common with the rest of the population. I was not at the game in question, but the terms you use about the referee cannot be justified and are legally dubious as well. You should revise your comments.

[Pangurban]

Well said Mourne Rover, this constant abuse of Referees has got to stop. Some of them may be poor, i doubt that many are biased, but i am certain there are not many volunteers seeking to do the job, so a little appreciation of the Men we have got would not be amiss

[T O Hare]

Despite conceding two goals in the opening eight minutes Mayobridge chalked up an impressive win over visitors Kilcoo on Friday evening. The 'Bridge could also afford the luxury of a missed penalty and another great goal opportunity as they turned in a much improved performance to win by a three point margin. Cathal Magee opened the scoring in the first minute but then in their first attack the Magpies sliced open the 'Bridge defence and corner back Niall Brannigan slammed the ball to the net. Points from Brendan Coulter and Cathal Magee levelled matters but then very slack marking saw Barry Kane finding the net for the visitors. Once again the Sky Blues had to pick themselves up and they did so in style sending over three quick points from, Cathal Magee, Ryan Brady and Brendan Coulter. Kilcoo then forged ahead again but the home side suffered another blow in the 17th minute wnen Ryan Brady was upended in the goalmouth but the resultant penalty was driven wide by Brendan Coulter. However the 'Bridge dusted themselves down again and by the interval were back on level terms, 0-9 to 2-3.

Cathal Magee got the Sky Blues off to a dream start in the second half when he was set up by Keith Quinn and had the easy task of palming the ball to the net. Kicoo however were not giving up trhe fight and and a Barry Kane goal in the 49th minute levelled the game. Straight from the kick-out the home side attacked and a Cathal Magee pass saw Brendan Coulter in the clear and he rounded the 'keeper to blast the ball home. Paul Devlin narrowed the gap with a point in the 55th minute but scores from, Ronan Sexton, Cathal Magee and Conleth O'Hare made the outcome secure. Kicoo added two points in injury time but it was the League Champions who came out on top. This was a very well contested game, played in the right spirit between two well matched teams and proved great entertainment for the large crowd. Mayobridge certainly showed a great improvement from some of their previous games and hopefully they will build on this for the rest of the season.
