would like to wish burren good luck as well. hope they can do down football proud. in eamonn toner at full forward they have a real player, someone who can win his own ball and score with both feet. worth a chance in mckenna cup imo.

[In the Onion Bag]

Althought I think they will be really up against it against Cross I still would like to see Burren do the business. 
Best of luck to them and Bredagh today.

Bosco won the Div 3 relegation play-off by 4pts. Something like 4-7 to 1-12. Div 4 football for Bredagh next year.

Division 3 relegation play-off Newry Bosco 4 - 9 Bredagh 1 - 13.  A very exiting game in a very foggy and cold Tullylish. Hard luck to Bredagh.  It wasn't a 5 point game. A late penalty put the distance between the 2 teams.

Yes, the Bredagh Bosco game was all about goals- a fine ,hard sporting encounter between two teams who really should not be in this position but , as the saying goes, league tables don't lie.The first Bosco goal was sored with their first attack, catching Bredagh cold.The second was a controversial 'Pat Donnan' over the line call by the umpire .The third was an excellent solo effort by the Bosco number 9 who took advantage of slack defending, and a blood sub who had not had the chance to warm up, to waltz through Bredagh while the fourth was an injury-time penalty when the City boys were in disarray .Brian Rice, who must have scored 1-6, also bagged an excellent goal to leave Bredagh 2 up going into the last 5 minutes. A pity that someone had to lose this one and cruel on Bredagh.
As for Burren, a disastrous opening 20 minutes, when they needed a good start, was ultimately their undoing.You can't beat the old dog for the hard road and we can only reflect on what a fit Eoin Mc Cartan could have brought Burren ( and Down). You have to admire Cross!

Gutted, but as I have previously posted, and what Dd has alluded to the tables dont lie. We diddnt get relegated today, its a season long contest and its div 4 next year for us, we will be back, mark my words

Would never have predicted this at the start of year.
Drumaness, Teconnaught, Saul and Bredagh in Division 4 next year with only one getting promoted, be the most competitive 4 in recent memory. I suppose that is the whole point of the restructuring.

Jeysus lads Division 4 is going to be a minefield next year and only 1 going up i think???

Nearly all the teams have played in Division 3 in the last 5 years or so, going to be like quicksand I would think, this restructuring might just work.

On another note 8 out of the 11 are from east down i.e. derbies galore which will make it even harder

[knockitdown]

Any word on the div 1 & 3 league finals?

[maldini]

whats going on at Bredagh? with all the supposedly great underage teams theyve had over the years how can they be in division 4 now???

we can only reflect on what a fit Eoin Mc Cartan could have brought Burren ( and Down).

Have to agree with you on this one. Eoin was one of the most impressive underage footballers in Down. It is really sad to see a young fella like this that is so passionate about his football with bagfuls of talent only able to give 20 minutes in a club game. I reckon he would have been right up there as one of the best forwards in his generation in Down if he was not plagued by injury.
