Big win for East Belfast in the juniors last night, hard to see who else apart from Bright would put it up to them.

Have the easier group.. Finn, Ardglass and Drumaness in the other group always seem to go up a level come championship time wouldn't look past those 3

Ardglass will have too much for Finn. But think Bright are the favourites now

Went to the JFC semi final in Dundrum last night . Cracking game went right to the wire. Both teams left it all on the pitch.

Fin to play the winners of Dromara v Glasdrumman.in Newcastle today, Dromara have been impressive this year.

Then it's on to the bridge at 4 for Rostrevor and Clanna Banna . The red n black Derby who changes ? Or do both ?

Finally last leg of journey to Pairc esler for kilcoo v Glenn

Love the business end of the championship season

Is there a 2024 comp ?

So we have john McGovern on the panel - a great player - but didn't play a minute of Gaelic football for his club last year in league let alone championship. Now we have potentially Clarke coming in who has played minimal minutes of Gaelic football in the last few years.. Why is Laverty doing this?

So unnamed posters on message boards can question it

Fixtures out - Darraghcross in Divsion 4

Them in division 4 is akin to Glenn being in division 3

That's your two league winners before a ball is kicked

6 finals , football and hurling all won by East Down teams, what's happening ?

As an outsider it seems absurd that the Down County Board would change the Ref, especially since Kilcoo lost out with their Disputes Resolution appeal. sets a bad precedent. I obviously don't know the cause of the objections, but it beggars belief that any one trying to make it as a national ref would make any statements about stopping a Club winning championships. It will be interesting to see how the Referees respond.

There will be no response, it will be forgotten about in a few weeks and they will all start next season as if it didn't happen. Kilcoo won't suffer, the only person who will suffer is Faloon, he reputation in tatters due to this appeal, zero backing from Down CB or his peers in referees Committee. Wouldn't be surprised if he gave up on the refereeing or went to another county, as its a joke what went on. The phone calls to the county board over the past week would have been constant, threatening no doubt, and Lavery no doubt the ring leader

Very slanderous that last line about Laverty
