Why is there now no games until 18 may?

May day weekend then that Croke Park initiative for promoting the Championship on Fri 11th I think.

Heard Down beat Antrim by 5 today in a challenge game?  Anyone see it?

City still to play Newcastle.  Even if they beat united nothing is guaranteed.  Toffees brilliant today.  I wish they would play with that attacking mentality against Liverpool!

Throwing punches and kicking on the ground should have no place in GAA - simple.  Also not respecting the rules about sideline activity needs looked at.  We  need to deal with that 'culture' .  IMO it Would be unfair to throw the team out of the competition but punishments and bans should be handed out accordingly.

Is that Lamh Dhearg Antrim or Armagh?

Didn't realise silverbridge were intermediate.

Makes sense, cheers.  Got confused there.

How does the Hogan work? I have no clue.

The lads that were in their final year when they won the McRory - do they play in this?  They will have left in Summer 2011?

Just  out of interest.

Well i would be in favour of some sort of change.  It was totally gutting putting in hard work this year, trying to keep it all going and then losing out in the play off.  Competitve football is what everyone wants.  It would be good to Find a way to do this and help all teams develop.
Having said that we had the opportunity to go up and unfortunatley couldnt take it.

Genuine level? I wouldnt agree with that.  With week in week out challenging games teams can improve.  Bredagh were unlucky not to go up.  One bad performance in a one off game saw to that.  Drumaness played better and won so fair play to them. 3 teams went down last year and only 2 went up.  Our problem for not taking the opportunity I guess, but 2/3 years ago we were in playoffs for promotion to Div2!

Down Fanatic I see your point.  I think having just played a season in 4 and unfortunately missing out on promotion, means the prospect of another year in 4 is depressing me!

Doing away with 4 would result in more competitive matches throughout the season.  This can only be a good thing. 

Are there any other Down teams involved in Ulster Championship games this weekend?  We (Bredagh) are away to Burt in Letterkenny in the prelim round of the UJFC.

Bredagh play Drumaness in the playoff this weekend.
I also see there is a match scheduled between the Fin and Aghaderg, is there a particular reason for this fixture going ahead and no others?
