Down Club Hurling & Football

[thewobbler]

I'm not a wind up merchant. I'm just someone who happened to learn a lot, in a short space of time, about the shambles that is the disciplinary process set by GAA HQ.

CCC would be wasting time for everyone and anyone to award anything other than one match bans to those who were sent off. Not their fault, that's just the way it is.

CCC will also have to dish out a fine of £500 or £1,000 to each club, as that's their precedent in these situations.

Beyond that, move on

The Kilcoo/Burren rivalry the past few years will die out when one becomes less successful. Burren is jealous of the magpie's recent glories and Kilcoo has been living rent-free in their heads for years. Burren like most south Down clubs have a superiority complex and they haven't dominated Down football since the late 80s/early 90s and this is hurting their ego. They have resorted to taking players from other parishes close to them to increase their underage success which has bore them fruit as they can field 2 teams at every age level. On Wednesday they took an aggressive game to Kilcoo and to be fair were physical for them. On the other hand, Kilcoo was missing a few regulars who will be starting v Clonduff. A lot of observers from Wednesday night have been writing obituaries for Kilcoo but I won't be buying a mass card for the pride of East Down yet.

Congratulations, that is probably the tallest mountain of s**** I've ever seen posted on here. And that's saying something

Fines it is.

What is going on in Castlewellan,  that is some hammering the week before the championship starts??

[befair]

Bryansford a bit fortunate last night; Rostrevor had a needless red card (and perhaps slightly harsh) early in the 2nd half, but as usual, the team that needs the win usually gets the win. Shooting from both sides was abysmal.

[Johnnysboys]

How come we don't do a season ticket for all championship games in football and hurling the way the likes of Armagh and Derry do? Armagh is £80 and Derry £70 for all games - surely the county board shud look at something like this??

[Truth hurts]

What's going on in Castlewellan, that was some hammering on Friday. Great to see Bryansford staying up after a tough week for the club.

I assume you're a club member?

Ask your county board rep?

That's why clubs have a rep.

Burren in ballybofey for a training weekend
Rostrevor in johnstown house

Do you just make this stuff up? Drumgath were training on their own field at 9 am yesterday

Burren will win Ulster this year. Up in Ballybofey getting a training camp that Jim McGuinness was attending. With the talent at their disposal this year it would be a massive underachievement if they don't at least win another Ulster title. The money and preparation they've put in this year to keep men in the country and sort other lads with jobs etc I would be shocked if they're beaten again in 2022. Great to see the kingpins of Down finally back where they belong.
