Down Club Hurling & Football

[supersub]

Great games yesterday.  Think Bryansford were a little too one dimensional in that everything had to go through Kalum King in Full Forward.  It definitely worked but I believe their forwards especially in the first half werent moving much.  Ciaran Brannigan was very quiet.  At times in First half Bryansford were breaking from defence and had nothing to aim for except for the high ball into King.  I think McGrath got the timing of his substitutions slightly wrong as he made them when Bryansford were gaining momentum in the 2nd half.  Young Savage had a good game for the Ford - has to be applauded for stepping up to hit that 50 at the end, felt sorry for him as he missed it but he can hold his head high this morning for a great exhibition of scoring. 

Congratulations to Burren on winning the game, think Dawson just got the better with regard to substitutions etc.  Eoin McCartan caused a few problems when coming on - gave the ford defence something to think about.  Burren free taker was immense especially from the wrong side for a right footer.

Yesterdays final bodes well for the county on the whole as both teams are very young and both will certainly be back for future honours I believe.  Kalum King has had a great year and I really feel he will improve next year in county colours as this was his first real involvement at senior inter county level.  Luke Howard is another who was injured at the start of this year but will be in and around the starting 15 next year also.
Refereeing was good yesterday also - couldnt really recall any unfair decisions or bias.

Agree he took some great scores but thought he waste possession a lot around the middle of the field!

Good pitch, pity that matches there are often dominated by the wind.
