Just a quick question on rules.
Does a team have to begin the game with 6 defenders, 2 midfielders and 6 forwards in position?
I asked because i noticed Dromara lined out with a sweeper wearing number 12 but lined out in front of the full back line. The ref    ( A Grant) refused to start the game until he moved back into the half-forward position. Can anyone clear this up??

Don't know the exact ruling but the referee in Croke Park last Saturday didn't make Wexford line out in the traditional formation.

Annaclone 2-9 Attical 0-8

Annaclone 4-09 Darragh Cross 0-14

RIP Mickey Cole from all in Annaclone.

Annaclone 3-14 Kilclief 1-7

Bryansford 0.15 Annaclone 0.09

Spirit, what did you think of the game last night?

Shamrocks 1-09 Annaclone 2-08

Attical 2-6 Annaclone 0-11

Annaclone 2 goals down at half time but dominated second half.  Got level with a couple of minutes to go only for Attical to get their second point of the half which turned out to be the winner.

Darragh Cross 1-07 Annaclone 0-12

Does anyone have last nights starting XV and if possible what subs were used. I missed the first few minutes and didnt get the line-ups. I know Murtagh came on in the half back line and Downey for Magee, but I cant remember the rest.

1 B McVeigh
2 C McGovern
3 G McArdle
4 M Cole
5 D O'Hanlon
6 L Doyle
7 K McGuigan
8 D Gordan
9 J Lynch
10 J Fegan
11 K McKernan
12 D Hughes
13 J McAreavey
14 C McGee
15 R Sexton

Subs:
C Gribben for J McAreavey
P Downey for C McGee
P Turley for J Lynch
R Murtagh for D O'Hanlon

[annaclone did the dirt on cathal murray; new manager rang him to tell him he was offered the job!]

stephen kearney is a huge boost for saval for next season; a quality player that will now shine at the right level.

rumours abound re: managers....

rostrevor have spoken to wee james and cathal o'rourke, both turned them down i hear

jerome johnston to take drumgath

anything else happening?

This is a rumour that has been doing the rounds latley but I can assure you that Annaclone did not do the dirt on Cathal Murray.  It was decided at committee level that we needed a change and Cathal was informed of this before anyone else was approached. 
Our new manager is now Steven McVeigh which should be a very good appointment.

hi guys can some off you legal eagles answear a question for me. As you know we got 2 players sent of in the junior champioship final, both players got handed 4 week bans which would mean the ban will be up on Sunday 28th October but i have been informed that they will be not be available to play in the 1st round of the Ulster Championship can anyone inform me why this is?

Boscomo, I think there was a rule recently introduced where suspended players have to miss at least one match as a result of the suspension, possibly in the competition the sending off took place.  I'm not sure exactly how it works but if it is the case then your suspended players will miss the next match.

annaclone gave us a hiding mid season and looked shoe in for play offs - still cant believe they didnt make it.

what the hell happened? is cathal back for another yr?

That performance against the harps was the best performance by us all year by a long way Goldenyears and unfortunatley I can't say that we performed at all since then, for what reasons I don't know.  Its the first year since 1993 that the club hasn't been involved in playoffs at either end of the table, so hopefully the long break will refresh the squad for next season. 
As far as I know Cathal Murray will remain in the hotseat for another year.

Also, congratulations to both Ballyholland and Saval on their promotions.

Just a quick point regarding the Drumgath situation, if the teams in the top half of division 3 knew that there would be four teams in the promotion play-offs (and we heard plenty about it all season), would it not have been obvious to assume the bottom four teams would be involved in relegation play-offs, allowing for the 30% rule.

Warrenpoint beat Annaclone by 9 or 10 points.
