Nowhere close. Glenn very unlucky to lose the two Millars early on or could’ve been a different story. Credit to the harps in another semi final but they aren’t at the same level to trouble the others

The bog one for us was Monday. Away to Belfast on a Monday but Carryduff were very poor
Are Carryduff a one season wonder?
Big talk about all these county players but are they overrated?

Have struggled massively with injuries all year especially to key players, Connery Mcgeough Beatty McCabe Mcgonigle among 9 players missing on Monday. Wider squad just not strong enough to compete with a very slick point team. Two county boys that played didn’t have much support so a tad unfair there. Mid table finish in our first season isn’t the worst account given how much we’ve struggled with numbers.

There’s two competitions up for grabs one of which has been won almost exclusively by one club the last number of years. Most senior players have zero medals. Most managers have won sweet nothing. Winning a trophy is still an achievement especially for clubs who’ve won sweet fa. Catch yourselves on

A big win for Carryduff in Hilltown too, 10 point win after being 3 down at the half

CPN able to play a friendly this week but calling off their league game. The league is no relegation so don’t understand why they won’t play.

Probably due to the fact Burren asked to postpone the game more than anything I'd imagine...hardly rocket science that one

They were due to play Carryduff not Burren

Harrison havern dornan all injuries, Dabs has never committed for any manager, and kilcoo boys flit in and out as they please as if it’s up to someone to convince them that playing for Down isn’t beneath them. Not as easy as it sounds

Look for reasons personal to the club. The game ideally should be RGU v Carryduff on Tuesday night in Newry and push the rest back a week. Dont see what harm that would do

Well they apparently contracted it last weekend at a house party so they would’ve still had it regardless of a test. The game should never have been scheduled on Wednesday

If the RGU lads who tested positive for covid/ squad members they were in contact with had played Monday/Wednesday both clubs would be shut for two weeks and lads would’ve been putting others at risk

Original fixture last Monday was cancelled at carryduff’s request and rescheduled for Wednesday at carryduffs request.  The rescheduled fixture  was cancelled at Carryduff’s request.  I ask again, why Carryduff are in the draw and not the RGU?  The second cancellation occurred before any mention of coronavirus

The PHA cancelled Friday’s game and shut downpatrick down. If clubs get corona virus outbreaks that is obviously more serious than football

There is no league pace the league games are challenge games to get players up to pace playing matches so actually are a good idea to give teams a chance to blood different players and get lads the game time they need before going into a championship

Round Robin Championship with each club guaranteed 3 championship games seems like ideal format put forward by other counties. Promotion and relegation doesn’t seem viable as there is not enough time to complete full round of fixtures.
