It's in our hands to win the league. Win the rest of our matches and we win the league
Going strong on all fronts. Our Premier Reserves into semi final
Tonight's game will be interesting. Ballyholland seem to have lost that edge they once had. Ballyholland were never going to win a championship or league but you knew you were in a battle with them. Looking at the results that doesn't look like the case anymore.

Bryansford and Loughinisland can't count themselves very lucky that relegation has been done away with.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

who is not fielding?

The Kingdom afaik...

So no relegation from any division ? And all games tomorrow off and re fixed for next Thursday ? Is that the result of tonight ?

No, any games scheduled for tomorrow go ahead.. Games scheduled for next Friday will be brought forward to Thursday.

Also any Covid postponements will result in a forfeit given the short timeframe before the championship commences.

Jeez there is some amount of whinging done on here.. just let them get on with it and see how it pans out.

What clubs will be looking for a postponement? I'm not speaking for my club but I wouldn't think they will be looking to postpone. But who knows.

[Time for promotion and relegation to go]

If Down get to an All Ireland final there is only 7 Monday/Fridays to Sept 6th that's teams playing Monday Friday Monday Friday Monday Friday Monday
They would need to extend it
Are the county board really going to ask teams to play 9 games in 20 days
Here's another 1
Say Kilcoo want to push for ulster they will play 15 games in 11 weeks
Time for promotion and relegation to go

No Chance... May aswell Scrap the leagues then.

Can anyone tell me are division 1 and 2 going ahead if Down win on Friday night? There is real talk throughout the county that the leagues are going to lose promotion and relegation and to play for the trophies due to players' involvement in the  u20 championship. It was a great performance by Down on Friday night but how in the name of God did the GAA let this competition be run in the middle of July and August . Apparently, Ballyholland has stated they are not playing the league without their county players, and who can blame them.

I think I read somewhere where there are 3 free dates later on in the year where any postponements will be played and if needed the final round of fixtures will be pushed back 1 week to allow the postponed to catch up.

Players need to be consulted on new management, no disrespect to those players out there today but we need to get the best players in the County back involved. Need to know why there are so many opt outs and what will it take to get them back. Do they oppose a regimented structure without the freedoms to express themselves? We need to appoint someone who will get the best out of the players rather than shoehorn them into something that they are not.

Which players are you going to consult on management. The ones there that you don't rate or every adult player in the county. Unworkable way of appointing a management set up

I'm not saying the players will appoint the management. I'm saying they need to be consulted. We need to understand why so many walk away and so many refuse to commit or make themselves available and take these learnings and come up with a plan that suits.

I appreciate the difference between watching a game live at Pairc Esler and watching it on TV but I got the distinct impression that Gavin Finnegan awarded frees much easier to the Point than to Clonduff. What did any one at the game think?
Also are there any runes as to who can actually take the penalties? Is it only those who finished the game as in soccer or is it anyone on the named panel ?

Yes I also thought Gavin had a poor game and helped get CPN back into the game especially in the 2nd half with soft free after soft free and The yellas getting nothing up the other end.. In saying that it was great entertainment and well worth the £6 and a great effort by both teams..
