Good game; Hilltown looked up against it early on, but gradually dominated an ultra-defensive Burren set-up, and fully deserved to win. With Darren O'Hagan to come back in, they could be Kilcoo's biggest challengers this year.

[Mourne Red]

That unbeaten run of Burren going well...

[Lecale Gael]

What's the deal with Teconnaught nor fielding for their last two fixtures?

Can only assume Covid related though haven't seen anything to confirm this. They played the other games ok

No games can be postponed now so it's field or forfeit

Was McCorry as defensive with Kilcoo?

I don't recall McCorry's Kilcoo sides being overtly defensive... I think they tailored their cloth to suit most of the time

Some interesting results tonight...
Kilcoo edge out Ballyholland by 4... 0-11 to 0-07 at Pairc Eoghain Rua.
Donagh McAleenan and Ross McGarry scored late points, as Cumann Pheadair Naofa battled back to draw in Mayobridge, 1-11 apiece. Two sides that are looking very slick so far.
Late show from Carryduff with a penalty in the final minute of normal time seeing them past Loughinisland at St. MacCartan Park... 1-11 to 0-9 after a bit of gloss was put on the result
... and Rostrevor held off a late Bryansford rally to pick up two deserved points in Newcastle... 1-10 to 2-6. Ford rooted to the bottom and Reds looking up.

Elsewhere, RGU looking very impressive in Division 2 at the moment. Themselves and Longstone my pick for promotion. Liatroim and Saval maybe in Division 3... It's looking like Covid 19 is putting paid to a lot of games, the further you venture down the leagues.

Don't think he was no - but think the defensive element is coming from Adams as the coach tbh.. his favourite phrase is plus one,  plus one - even when they were on the attack he was shouting this.. he was defensive with Clonduff in the past and then Down.. McCorry has it all to do in Burren - 2 defeats from the first 4 games against so called big hitters won't impress him and think they stole the win v Mayobridge- with ourselves to face them down Monday night - it could be a long August for him!!!

[Smurfy123]

McCorry will ok with Burren
This is Mickey Mouse stuff for the big hitters
It's challenge matches
The big concern has to be Bryansford? What has happened to this once great club?
I genuinely want to know what has happened them?

Double All Ireland winner James McCartan Snr has passed away.

Cracking game in Warrenpoint tonight, CPN v Burren. Things starting to heat up in the league over the last week or so. I'm sure Clonduff will be hoping for a Burren win tonight, they'll fancy themselves for the league title again this year after winning last year's final.

Match Ups will be interesting...both teams have been very hot and cold in the league. CPN normally struggle against the defensive systems and Burren are going as defensive as I've ever seen them in my time watching them. The U20s could be the difference tonight for Burren, if Danny Magill and young Murdock step up tonight they will be hard to beat.

Can't wait for this one...

Clonduff will surely be too strong for a Carryduff side that have a lengthy trip down to Hilltown?

A lot will depend on the team Warrenpoint field, they still looked to be missing a few of their first choice players from last year against the Bridge on Friday night. Would fancy Burren for the win tonight,

Another Burren defeat...

Another Burren defeat...
