Congratulations and thank you to Brian Dooher for a fantastic inter-county career,a credit to our wonderful sport and an exceptional player and leader.

Was in Parc Esler last night for both games,first of all i would hope for a speedy recovery to the Kilclief player injured right at the start of the IFC semi-final.The East Down men had a sharpshooter in Sloan in corner-forward and former minor AI winner Kerr knocked over a super score-and also their manager had them well schooled in picking up players at free-kicks and their over-all strength saw them through.As for CNB they persisted throughout even during the final quarter with having their forwards outnumbered and this left them living on scraps,both their mid-fielders scored excellent points but i felt the numerical defecit in attack cost them dear.The senior game was great entertainment for the neutral,red-hot favourites Kilcoo were out-done by a determined hard-working Clonduff outfit.Indiscipline might have cost them the win as a free was moved forward in the final minute,however they are heartily congratulated for the win in an ethralling encounter

Dont get too carried away just yet Bannaman,like yourselves Dundrum are relatively new to this stage of the championship and their confidence will have lifted coming from behind late on to win against Attical,whilst Ballymartin have a great championship pedigree stretching back many years including winning the title,Kilcleif too regularly quailfy for the latter stages and will not be lacking in motivationor ability(and remember their hurlers won at the weekend)Clann Na Banna did very well to win their two previous matches especially against another club with fine champioship credentials in Annaclone,as far as your own club is concerned it is fantastic to see your side progress and well done so far-but remember they dont hand out the cup at the quarter or semi-final stage!!

Respects today to those who lost loved ones and the scenes even from a distance were disturbing-a prayer and rest in peace-god bless

yeah was at the fight and was sure Paul had lost by at least a round ,scored well with his right at times but was in real trouble a couple of times also-not convinced on this outing

a couple of years ago one of those so called experts on the rte panel lampooned Richard Dunne and made a laughing stock out of the fella-the words short and memory come to mind !!

met a dub the other day and he told me hed be watching the match today to see who Dublin play in the final-typical

my goodness was away last night and only heard from a mate who phoned me -best wishes and to Gabriel and his family at this time

the cops sent for the cavarly-what!!

i heard drumgath lost sheerin the previous with serious knee injury 

Hope Darren Clarke can go ahead and win today-he aint got nerves looks like hes playing for fun-worth at least another two shots-keep smiling-IT WORKS!! 

thought Brannigan had a great game and played with more authority and McCartan also his best to date dont know what Mcardles value is just yet other than breaking the ball down although to be fair to him Aodhan is is an exceptional player in the modern game,to me doyle is far too slow and well off the pace-no time or space allowed now to pick off a pass-danny lifted the whole team and mooney added youthfulness and speed rarely seen in senior county teams today,first half was not good enough but there were signs in the second half and maybe the inclusion of Rafferty and Ambrose that things are ganiing a momentum -UP DOWN!!

i think Fletcher must be given time to recover as he was holding a place on the team before illness,Gibson will surely leave and Carrick never looked the part at all and seemed like a frightened schoolboy most of the time.

heard the senior c'ship is being re-drawn tonight

this really has sunk to a new low!!
