Down Club Hurling & Football

[charlieTully]

With the League season near enough over, how's about posters selecting the best 15 players in their club's Division who impressed them over the year.


My Division 3 XV

1. Bernie Connell (Drumgath)

2. Marc Cunningham (Dundrum)
3. Stephen Deegans (Ardglass)
4. Adam King (Saul)

5. Kevin McKiverghan (Tullylish)
6. Gareth Johnston (Tullylish)
7. Mark Connolly (Drumgath)

8. Michael Magee (Ardglass)
9. Colm Murtagh (Glenn)

10. Niall McParland (Glenn)
11. Peter Quinn (Tullylish)
12. Mattie Bagnall (Glenn)

13. Shannon Drainey (Tullylish)
14. Paul McComiskey (Dundrum)
15. Gerard McAnulty (St Johns)

colm murtagh did not do too much today on jack lynch did he? as for mattie bagnal steven parsons made him look ordinary today. you need to rethink your 15 mate.

I'd suggest you go back to your much loved glasgow celtic thread & post your daft comments on there.
DF was posting an opinion on the best players over the course of a season in a division which he had a vested interest in & from his predictions in the past, he's usually not far off the mark.
While your good self probably went to your first game of the season on Saturday with your Drumgath blinkers on & then come on here to try & act the large fella by telling DF to rethink his 15 MATE, i'm taking a guess that the once mighty Celtic play today, hence your attendance at a GAA match yesterday!
As the saying goes, one swallow never made a summer & I look forward to Steven Parsons cancelling out the threat of Rory Kavanagh in Ballybofey Next June.

Supporting celtic is now banned in county Down GAA circles, so it seems id disagreeing with regular posters. you have know idea who i am you clown. the mans pick is badly thought out and way off the mark. he has shannon drainey in his full forward line. shannon did not even start in a lot of tullylish games this year and played in half forward when he did. gareth johnstone plays midfield for tullylish. how can parsons not be on a 15 select from div 3? Barry Hynes at 38 will likely win drumgath player of the year, yet no mention.
Mourne Rambler coming on dishing abuse at me for no reason. you are out of order. Big man
hiding behind a peusodynm.

i was merely disgreeing with his selection. as for micking my dsylecia, we are well and truly off on the wrong foot.

Add Peter Hynes who was full forward yesterday and injured players Mark Brannigan and Justin Lynch you have some side.

Well on friday there was a days rain and it couldnt host the league final. Very durable that.

I think fridays game was cancelled to give the pitch a chance of being ready for todays games. There would be very few playabe pitches in the county today.

Is it due to the credit crunch that those pennies in Drumaness take so long to drop

[east down gael]

What about mccaughey of bredagh in the division 3 team?

[lucan]

mark. if you are reappointed to manage the down minors this season please dont overlook the[ stevie parsonsons]  of this game. he could have been selected for two seasons but was ignored .against glen yesterday he disposed of your selected forwards at his ease and had time to score apoint as well.

This entire team is from Drumgath, it was posted for a bit of craic to keep charlieTully happy, sometimes you need to read previous posts to get the true picture!

I'm not up on my drumgath players. I read the previous comments oblivious to Charlies feelings about div 3.

Silly billy.

Jesus Pairc esler cannot take a drop off rain, Kilcoo v St Eunans and Ballymartin v Cookstown have been cancelled today due to a waterlogged pitch. Talk about being pissed off with that woeful pitch.

One of he most ill-informed comments I have ever read on here. Since the new Prunty pitch was laid at Pairc Esler it has proven to one of the most durable pitches in the province, hosting countless games week in week out. All ther recent championship games were played without hitch and with the surface gaining universal positive comment.
Anyone around Newry this morning will know that the roads, never mind the pitch, are waterlogged with torrentail rain. Games are being called off all over the country, racing at Leopardstown has been cancelled and all the Down moaners can grumble about is the first weather-postponment in Pairc Esler all year.....

Get a grip.

It would appear that it's Achilles heal is that it cannot cope with a sudden persistant downpour.  It needs a few hours to drain away the underground tanks.  The same thing happened last year when the NFL Div 3 game v. Limerick was cancelled at the last minute as there was heavy rainfall while the Limerick team were travelling north for a Saturday evening game.

The Drumgath boys getting very ahead of themselves thinking they will beat Tullylish no bother. Tullylish are the hungrier team and more up for it. Tullylish to win by four
