Let's hope after that today the Dabs playing county rhetoric is finally put to bed.

Kilcoo display today suggests they will be a massive force in Ulster this year. Scotstown will feel their wrath next weekend in Newry and then it's a plum tie v either Cross/Trillick - but they are on a different level when they get into Ulster. Glen are potentially the only team that can stop them and Kilcoo owe them one!!!

Any update on the ?

Hurling final described as epic.. my god.. it was far far far from epic. Watch a Tipperary/Waterford/Clare hurling match and you will see epic. It was a decent game for our county standard but wouldn't cut it in a real hurling field.

On another note let's hope the hurling 6 page reports end now and then quoted and another 2 pages added to it.

Carryduff ??
Loughinisland - new management - Conor OToole??
Kilcoo - new management required
Burren - new management required
Clonduff - new management required
Mayobridge- new management - Bernie Murray??
CPN - new management required
Bredagh - new management required
Bryansford - new management required
Longstone - new management required

Must be a record for the top ten clubs in the county to have so much management activity in one off season..

Castlewellan
Ballyholland - new management - Shane Mulholland
Saul - new management - John Fegan
Downpatrick - new management required
Liatroim - will probably stick with current setup??
Saval - new management required
Shamrocks - will probably stick with DJ
Rostrevor -
Glen - ?
Drumgath - ??

Anyone any updates on above?

You cant blame any county player not wanting to play under this mess that has started especially the burren ones. How can any person have any faith in laverty with his actions of the field with his club. County board should really be considering sacking him as every man woman and child knows he was at fault for this whole mess

How is it Laverty that was at fault here?? Am I missing something? You can't just assume things and hope that people jump on board with it... what grounds do they have to sack him?? Has there been gross misconduct in him carrying out his role for the county board - no.. can't sack him.  If Burren or any other clubs players don't want to go - that's fine - the county will always field a team - whether it's the ones we want or not is another thing..

Thank god for Kilcoo
Thank god for McCorry and Adams having no plan and costing a fortune.
Thank god we don't have to listen to the noisy neighbours slabbering for the foreseeable..
This game should never have gone ahead and the referee and his assistants should hang their heads in shame. At least our club ref has the good sense to say no. We as a county struggle on a yearly basis to recruit referees and this shambles won't ease the recruitment process for next season.

Interesting referee choice for the senior final - thought my club comrade would have got it but Paul is very experienced and will be well fit to handle the environment.

A silly incident at the end but it's the only thing worth talking about as the game was pathetic. I expected more from young Brown up front in terms of scoring but he failed to deliver - again. An early flourish and late flourish saw Kilcoo into another final. 12 finals in a row - like them or despise them - that's some going...

A very entertaining game last night - and Glen fully deserving winners. They will certainly not fear Burren and it's bonus territory for them now like last night was. Mayobridge were toothless and looked devoid of ideas throughout.
Clonduff will rattle the magpies and this could see the end of an era. Clonduff just need to keep everyone on the pitch and play 60+ minutes at top intensity..

Another season comes to an end and in disappointing circumstances. I honestly thought we were capable of beating Mayobridge at the weekend and with the draw they got we could have ended up in a semi final if we overcame a division 3 Glen.
I would like to just put this year behind us and start afresh. I would like to thank John Boyle and his management team for stepping in at a difficult time after losing two management setups in a matter of months. We are still in division one which is massive for our club and hopefully the players can go now and take a good break and return fresh and ready for 2024.
Who we will have at the helm - god knows - I just hope we can get it sorted sooner rather than later so the preparation for 2024 can begin.
