Down Club Hurling & Football

[dundrumite]

Congratulations to Bryansford who deservedly defeated us today. We hadnt the firepower in attack to take enough scores when on top in the first half, kicking 8 wides, two of them goal chances. The ford gave us problems under the high ball scoring two goals against the run of play.
Our Management where too negative playing with only 4 forwards and truth be told we hadnt as near potent first 15 as what won us last years title.
Congratulations to Bryansford who where comfortable winners on the day, back to the drawing board for Kilcoo.

MGD where was Niall Morgan? Had a great season last year and perhaps may have provided a steady influence in and around the house.

Gutted today for Kilcoo but they seemed to go into the game with the wrong mindset , too concerned with the opposition . They were very negative and hadn't enough men up front to get the important scores. Last year they had a devil may care attitude with a great work ethic , this year they seemed nervous , over awed and too concerned with the opposition.I cannt see past Burren but I feel kilcoo lost the chance of back to back titles as opposed to others winning .Kilcoo without a doubt lost the 2010 Championship , it was theirs but they just were nearly afraid to go out and express themselves . They'll be back - no doubt.


                                           the gael takes no prisoners!

Was at the game today

Bryansford 3-04 Kilcoo 0-08

Bryansford scored two goals in first-half - 2 highballs, 2 goals [shocking defending]

Maginn was my man of the match by a mile - he really is a 'Rolls Royce' of a player. Worth the £8 just to watch him play - smooth and silky on the ball and accelerates with pace. Always seemed to have loads of time on the ball. Just a wonderful player.

I think Ford will take Burren. There's a few championships in this Burren team, no doubt, but Ford have the right blend of experience and physical strength to take the honours here. Player for player there's nothing in it at all.

Fair play to the ford they dug deep i honestly thought after they went down to 14 men with 20 minutes left there was only one winner but thats what good teams are made off and the best of luck to them. The final will be a physical battle two very strong sides and hopefully produces a great game of football to end a fitting uear for this county. We will be back next year though!
