Down Club Hurling & Football

[Mid Down Gael]

Now that Liatriom have finally been relegated after many years of survival, it leaves Kilcoo and Bryansford the only east Down clubs left in the top flight. Lets hope Downpatrick can come up tomorrow to join us and the ford. The ten team league really proved too tough for the town and Liatriom and i can see it being the same for Ballyholland and Downpatrick or Saval. Will miss the oul derbys next year, gate reciepts will suffer too as we only have clonduff and ford in derby games now. We always got great crowds against the Fontenoys, who we came up alongside in 1998, and the Town.

It'll be interesting to see if Liatroim's golden generation try to get the Fontenoys back to Division One, or call it a day.

it leaves Kilcoo and Bryansford the only east Down clubs left in the top flight.

I have always considered Kilcoo and the Ford really as Sth Down teams.  After all they both from the foothills of the Mournes.  Its only some administrative line in-the-sand that decrees they are east down.  Its what is in the heart that really counts and East Down have yet to show that heart.

On this basis East Down are now unrepresented in the top division

Any word of kilcoo minors

Clonduff won by six against an understrength Kilcoo side. On the day they where the better team.

Any result from the Bredagh/Saul relegation play-off in division three ?

[turkey+ham]

Bredagh won by a point. Poor enough match with Bredagh missing a bagfull in the first half. Saul stayed in it and with about ten minutes to go Saul scored a goal to draw level but referee ruled it out as he blew for a free kick just as the saul ff had caught the ball and turned. Damien Laverty is a complete tool of a referee - poor decisions for both teams, but pulled saul back on three occasions when he should have let them play on. He had a huge bearing on the final score. I assume it's Bredagh v Bosco next week now.

[east down gael]

It should be Saul against bosco next week,with bredagh playing bosco the following week.thought bredagh played the majority of the football and deserved the win.

that was squeeky bum time earlier on, we did miss a few chances earlier on and could have been well in front at the turn. Saul dug deep and reduced it to 1 but couldnt get the point that would have brought about extra time.
