After 3 games? No
Fin & D'ness down
Glenn & Clann up

Drumaness wasting their time in Div 3!

Irish News today!! Not the right way to strike at Kilcoo or the GPA. Who is advising? Anyone?

Brendan Mason & Ruairi Gillen over Darragh Cross next year.

Down statement is detailed until it gets to Saturday morning then it lacks any detail and glosses over what seems to be the crux of it. What happened on Saturday lads that meant there was no referee? Was the county management involved in proceedings? More questions than answers.

Speaking of big calls by officials, was up at the Rostrevor Clone game on Friday eve and referee completely robbed Annaclone at the death. Blew the whistle with the ball sailing over the black spot. It must be Rostrevor's year after that going for them. They will walk the IFC, prominent Rostrevor Committee men in The Kilbroney Bar telling me they are already planning a training weekend for Ulster prep.

Only game Rostrevor have walked so far in IFC was Clann na Banna!! Saval and Liatroim will fancy their chances, though Saval haven't played anyone yet. Liatroim were near gone v Darragh Cross, and that experience, plus defeat v Rostrevor in Round 1 could stand to them. They have built nicely since and will be happy going into the last four.

The notice is short. Underage coaching on pitch needs swapped around etc. That a-side; we get notification the game is Friday. Lads who work shifts change their shifts. We then get word on Sunday night that we're back to Thursday night without being consulted. Lads now wondering wtf is going on. I'm assuming the team we're playing complained about having to play Friday. Bit of a mess!

WTF was Paul Falloon doing linesman for last night? The best referee in Down and he's on the line. An insult to the players who train like fk all year and invest. A county final is not a place to give a ref a go. Gribben didn't see the harm in giving the team getting beat a few handy ones last night. Wouldn't have happened if Brannigan or Falloon were on the whistle. Not acceptable!

Glenn, the Stone and Bredagh all well ahead of Castlewellan on their day in Div 2. Prob few others too. But the Town are up. Missed opportunities for few teams this year.

Shocking result! 1-4 is an awful return for a team that possessed some very gifted attackers. I'd say the Burren minor team would have fared no worse.

Here is a thought for discussion. Teams in division 4 to be allowed to sanction 3 players from div 1 or 2 clubs who are not on the first 13. These could be something that would benefit a lot of small clubs . Thoughts?

Probably one of the most ridiculous suggestions I've ever heard!
Fixtures are out for All-County leagues; I see the derby starts have been done away with. I actually liked that recent innovation.

Downpatrick
Castlewellan
Bredagh
Longstone
Darragh Cross
An Riocht
Glenn
St Johns
Saul
Annaclone

Div 2 tough next season

He's saying that they didn't underachieve; quite the opposite!

Saul to join Tullylish in bottom two. Liatroim to join them after a playoff defeat to St Johns.

The championship seems a dead duck, i detect v little interest. It's either Kilcoo or Burren, and the back door renders all the early games fairly meaningless

Let me guess, you're 'a glass half empty' kinda guy?
