Was at Saul v RGU

But no players team sheets or programme ? This was always part and parcel of championship

What going on

There might not have been a printed programme, but in my opinion the game itself was worth the £6 in as it was quite entertaining. Saul maybe should have tried another one or two balls in to O'Hare, as his fielding was superb at times.
Bell was excellent for RGU in the middle.

Caught that game also it was a close game. Great start from Saul but a strong finish to the first half from RGU. Peter Turley still doing the business at his age too
Turley some player. Must be 45 years of age but he really looks after himself. Teetotal celibate non smoker. A veritable Saint!

No issue with the £6 for adults but charging the same price for 12 year olds and £2 for toddlers is taking the piss.

So would it be ok if it was £10 for adults and £6 for 12-18? Just so
It is not the same? Same crying match every year over prices, its £4/£5 into a league game all year the extra £1 for championship early rounds is fair. Ok £2 for u12 isn't ideal but if you were to take an u12 to a game in other local sports or indeed Croke Park it costs alot more. Its £13 for an Irish League game and £10 for Rugby, £6 good value or just watch on down tv. £30 to get the whole family out to watch my club in the championship for an evening is well worth it. Same who complain probably no issue paying £5 for pint

Think you have nailed it Gaelforce. Some guys just love to moan and gurn. It's good value all round especially compared to other counties

Why are so many reserve fixture being conceded ?

We have never been able to get the right day/ time for reserve football. We need reserve football to keep on board those players who want to play and get occasional senior game time but it's too easy then to opt out when you couldn't be bothered to go to the other end of the county on a sat evening or Sunday afternoon. No easy answer. This weekend we had combination of brilliant weather, Slane, Belsonic CL final as distractions.

I do intend to buy one, I like the fact my own club benefits directly from it as well. I just think next year they could provide a bit more notice than 3 or 4 days. Maybe if I was living in Ardglass I'd have been more aware of it.
I think in fairness the promo for this has been excellent and out well in advance, probably since January through clubs and social media. Is an excellent fundraiser but cost of living issue definitely having effect

Are games starred this weekend?

Are you serious or just don't follow happenings in GAA over past few years ?

I am always open to a good debate on all things Down but the constant whingers will be drowned out as there is now a pathway developing and a pride coming into that famous Down jersey again.
Where is this Pathway, TH? I'd sure love to know.

Gearoid Farrelly. A comedian. You're having a laugh!  So unfunny and brought Turbidy's  sycophancy to the fore

Just because you haven't heard doesn't mean the players haven't been told. You are sounding like Stephen Nolan being ignored by the Shinners

Nephew's mate made the wider County Minor Panel.Trying to get sight of it and will update.

Why would you be blurting that out. Let Laverty get on with the job in hand
Oops!I meant to say Minor Football panel.Too much drink after Sat night. :D :D

I imagine you are one of the "Outlook reading Maxwell House drinking Twitterati" who loves to be thought of as "in the know".Should try a change of scenery and get down to the Busy Bee for fresh source of gossip

Massive win for Carryduff v Clonduff, I cannot remember them being over strong at this level during underage?

Carryduff have a lot of depth available at this age group if truth be told.  Plus a decent sanction from DX.  I'd say they will fancy themselves for this but Burren will be favourites.

why do they take sanctions? Co board should not allow this

Nothing to do with Co Board

Lets be honest we all know there is a few young Burren lads that have a chip on their shoulder but to question the senior pros that have been there and done it is an absolute joke, well they were fairly brought down a peg or two last night.

Some post for your 1st post. " Senior Pros who have been there and done that". You must be talking about the likes of Shorty, Tony McArdle etc. if you want to get on message you need to get down to the Busy Bee 🐝🐝 or the Oak Grill. That's where it's all happening among the prominent GAA heads
