Our game against Warrenpoint was exciting if not perhaps of the highest quality, as both sides were down a number of main players. It was a warm, still night and forwards were on top throughout. Harps dominated possession for long periods, but couldn't ever get any distance between them and their opponents, partly due to to poor shooting, partly due to two soft goals. Harps entered injury time a point down. With five minutes extra played, we made it in in front, and another two minutes passed before we were safe. During all that injury time Anthony Grimes was sent off for striking an umpire. The 'Point have a decent shell of a team, but are going to stuggle to field a team soon at this rate.

You have to admire the Fins doggedness and perseverance and hope they get there eventually, they certainly deserve a result

Didn't they beat Ballykinlar last year? I think Ballykinlar were missing a few that day - away in Iraq.

Got down to Ballela for the senior challenge match with Dublin. It finished Down 3-11 Dublin 1-27. Walk in the park for the dubs. All our lads had played a match earlier in the day and it showed.  Magic looked sharpe, Graham Clarke was strong as ever in nets and Keiran Countney isn't out of place in senior hurling. With so many lads missing and the club and junior matches earlier in the day I'm not sure what Gerard Coulter learned from this.
Well done Ballela you have a great set up there now.

 Did any of the other lads not turn up for the senior game? I heard Brendan McGourty didn't go even though there was a car ready to pick him up off the ferry boat?

Andy Savage & Paddy Hughes weren't there either. Or if they were they didn't play. Simon Wilson wasn't playing either but I think he's injured.

Andy Savage was there just not togged out.

Our reserves got beaten by Newry last night and I was fairly impressed with big Courtney in midfield although his big loopy swing needs a bit of work and will find him out at county level if he doesn't get it sorted. I suppose he gets away with it at this level plus he pumps everything high into the edge of the square which was understandable last night as Eoin McGuinness was proving a handful and getting scores on the edge of the square. McGuinness is a handy enough tool himself and knows where the posts are, strong as an ox and most definately has something to offer at a higher level.

How did any of the other hurling games go last night?

We(ballela) were beaten by liatroim, by roughly 12 points maybe a few more. It was 0.7 to 0.4 at half time to them, we tired second half and they scored 2 goals inside 2minutes with about 5min to go through Aidan Brown and Liam Morgan. We put in a spirited preformance considering we were doubtful to field beforehand which was pleasing. I remember we beat ballygalget 2nds away two seasons ago, i hope for the sake of down hurling they dont deteriorate as alarmingly as we have.
