Down Club Hurling & Football

[Uladh]

Marshes seems to be taking shape lads. the stand structure and lights are in place. i did think the lights were supposed to be on a par with casement? don't seem to be as high nor as many bulbs?

[An Cloch Scoilte]

When is the first game due at the Marshes?

[downredblack]

Wouldn't say there will be much Hurling played there , so lights on a par with Casement probably aren't needed .

[johnneycool]

Lads,
  whats the best way to get to Ballela from Belfast? Directions please.

[An Cloch Scoilte]

Go down the A1, past Dromore and there should be a signpost for Katesbridge to the left. Go to the end of that road and you'll come to Garvaghy Post Office. Turn Left and take the second road on the left signposted for Leitrim and Kilkinamurray and the pitch is about a mile up that Road.

Lecale 2, where are these tables from?

In Div 4, aghaderg are down as played 3, won 3 and st johns as played 4, won 2.  This should be aghaderg played 3 won 2 and st johns played 4 won 3 as we beat aghaderg in our first game, won the next 2 and lost to st michaels on monday night??

[johnneycool]

Go down the A1, past Dromore and there should be a signpost for Katesbridge to the left. Go to the end of that road and you'll come to Garvaghy Post Office. Turn Left and take the second road on the left signposted for Leitrim and Kilkinamurray and the pitch is about a mile up that Road.

E mail from Sean Rooney.

Johnnie99 - I'd be contacting the Co. Board if there is an error in the tables Sean Rooney sent out.  These are probably the master copies.

This Friday nights game between the Bridge and Rostrevor should be a cracker as there is a lot to play for.  Its a starred game but I think we should still be capable of winning it given our strength in depth at the minute.  Attical are looking good for automatic relegation at the minute, maybe they can pick up a few points here and there during this series of starred games. 

[Niall Quinn]

Div 2 scoring difference looks a bit out too - doesn't net out to 0.

[Bacon]

Lads,
  whats the best way to get to Ballela from Belfast? Directions please.

What's on in Ballela Johnnycool? I thought Ballygalget were going to St Gall's tonight.
Are you heading down for the pitch opening on Sunday week?
Here's the directions from the website. http://www.ballela.com/directions.htm

[Whitehair]

Actually those directions on our site have a mistake, it shud read; turn left onto the ballela road( as a previous poster has stated). I may tell someone to ammend that. All welcome for the opening btw!

[Fíor Gael]

amallon how did Benny play for yis the other night, is he hittin form yet? who was sent of for clonduff.

[Brick Tamlin]

as encouraging as it is to see some teams starting very well in the leagues it does augur well but at the same time its very early doors yet lads. Down leagues are really nothing to get excited about, standard is shite awful, and its even depressing to know that no new format has been thought of to revamp our leagues.

There are the starred games to come when teams will miss our countys finest footballers and there will be the usual summer dip/rise in form for teams, then the pre championship burst, then the mass exodus of players pissing off (either from club or county) to US etc to play after their club/county has been put out of championship, fixtures will pile up, then the leagues will drag on, the reserve leagues will feel the brunt with some teams playin no games for a few weeks, then we will have the usual draggin on of leagues into the shite & muck of winter when no games should be played, and finally the dreaded playoffs come round.

will be same ol shite this year again, no major domestic league talking points or surprises, Bridge should walk championship which doesnt say much for our leagues (judging by their failure in europe season after season allied to the fact that the standard in down domestically is shite), some secondary team will win the league with no one really batting an eye and our county teams will fail to either inspire or make much progress on national stages.

you can tell im having a good day.
