Down Club Hurling & Football

[Smurfy123]

The more you read that the worse it seems
No reason why plans could not have been in place to start the leagues this Friday
We are holding up leagues in Down for our under 20s
Jesus how has this happened?

I think you are scare-mongering smurfy. Is there any substance to these rumours.

The Leagues could not start this week as the semi-finals of warm up competition are due to take place. The Point would be favourites to progress to the final. Kilcoo welcome Burren which should be a mouth-watering affair.

[Johnnysboys]

So there we have it
No club league until the Down under 20s exit the championship
Leagues in Down potentially not starting until August 18th
What a mess the fixtures department have made of this

Leagues start on 23 July - the above is load of crap..

[Sandstorm]

What is all this spouting untruths about? Leagues start 23 July, show some respect for the U20's. After last week a little bit of success would be very welcome at county level.

[Smurfy123]

How can you start the league on July 23rd when it's the night of the ulster under 20 final and by all accounts it would be a major surprise if Down did not feature in it
Play without them? Is that what you are saying johny?
Hardly scaremongering. 3 weeks and not a fixture out
Does that not tell you something

I don't fully understand. Could you please clarify if you've received this information from a legitimate source or just making unsubstantiated claims based solely on the fact the league fixtures have not been made available yet?

[manwithnoplan]

The fixtures are out, and the league starts on the 23rd as previously planned. No call for all this negative nonsense based on some sort of rumour.

[Johnnysboys]

Round one 23rd July 2021

Clonduff v carryduff
Kilcoo v Bryansford
Mayobridge v Ballyholland
CPN v Burren
Loughinisland v Rostrevor

Some games hard to call there......

Smurfy must be worried about meeting the mighty Burren in the first game.

[Leftmidfield]

CPN beat L'island 1.12 to 1.11. L'island must've hit 20 wides. Who won other semi ?

Kilcoo beat Burren 1.10 to 1.09. Usual fare from Burren v the magpies.. that lad Oran Murdock is worth keeping an eye on - how he is not a certain starter for the county U20s is beyond me.
So it's Kilcoo v CPN in final - another year - nothing changes!!

[Lotto]

The greatest coach in Ireland never won a game this year, oh my what a big surprise. His outdated methods which we in Down are so familiar with have been found out again. Fools will flock to his 'innovative' coaching days, perhaps he should be a spectator and take notes in future. Where to go now as his sideline antics and engineering a cute move away from Bryansford means no one in Down would touch him? Little sympathy but there are plenty of fools out there.

[befair]

Was at the Rostrevor/Bryansford game tonight. Bryansford played 15 men behind the ball and didn't contest kickouts until with a few minutes left, and 4 pts behind, they decided to move up the field. They scored 4 pts in that short time to bring the game to extra time.
Their tactics were bewildering; it's not like they were playing Brazil....

[Truth hurts]

By all accounts, Burren gave Kilcoo their fill of it on Friday. Were both teams at full strength. Can anyone tell if Sunday's final is being streamed?
