Interesting referee choice for the senior final - thought my club comrade would have got it but Paul is very experienced and will be well fit to handle the environment.

A silly incident at the end but it's the only thing worth talking about as the game was pathetic. I expected more from young Brown up front in terms of scoring but he failed to deliver - again. An early flourish and late flourish saw Kilcoo into another final. 12 finals in a row - like them or despise them - that's some going...

A very entertaining game last night - and Glen fully deserving winners. They will certainly not fear Burren and it's bonus territory for them now like last night was. Mayobridge were toothless and looked devoid of ideas throughout.
Clonduff will rattle the magpies and this could see the end of an era. Clonduff just need to keep everyone on the pitch and play 60+ minutes at top intensity..

Another season comes to an end and in disappointing circumstances. I honestly thought we were capable of beating Mayobridge at the weekend and with the draw they got we could have ended up in a semi final if we overcame a division 3 Glen.
I would like to just put this year behind us and start afresh. I would like to thank John Boyle and his management team for stepping in at a difficult time after losing two management setups in a matter of months. We are still in division one which is massive for our club and hopefully the players can go now and take a good break and return fresh and ready for 2024.
Who we will have at the helm - god knows - I just hope we can get it sorted sooner rather than later so the preparation for 2024 can begin.

We stumbled, we staggered, we were ahead, we were behind - but we are still in the pot.. Roll on tomorrow night for the draw.

Disappointing performance tonight in a game where we had chances to hit goals v an inexperienced keeper. Route one against Burren causes havoc in their defence and teams will exploit this going forward. I thought big Cian McLoughlin had a great game against murdock and our defence was resolute against their attacks - I can't remember one clear ur goal chance created by them - Aaron Joe had his best game in ages and we will get better in the next while - hopefully a favourable draw in the next round will get us back to round 3.

Loughinisland v Harps a good old fashioned game this evening. Loughinisland will take a lot of scalps this season and absolutely no one will want the Harps in round 2.
No shocks to date.

Pre championship injuries strikes again for a few clubs.. John McGeough Carryduff, Paddy Smyth Mayobridge, Darragh Mussen & Eoghan Loughran Burren, Conor Murray Clonduff, Chris Clarke Ford, Harrison Longstone.. nightmare..

On the 26th June Clonduff went to Bredagh as league contenders, since then they have only beaten Longstone and suffered 4 defeats and drew with Bryansford.
Bredagh will fancy their chances.

They must have a lot of injuries at present. They won't be far away in the championship. It's impossible to predict but you could nearly write the quarter final teams on a page now for senior championship. Carryduff, Loughinisland, CPN, Burren, Kilcoo, Mayobridge, Clonduff and Ballyholland. Unless Downpatrick or Castlewellan can edge out Ballyholland - I can only see the other 7 being certs.

When do the Senior/Intermediate championship start? (Football) Will fire up the prediction competition
again this year.. Will add JFC once it gets to knockouts

24th - 28th August is round one
