Down Club Hurling & Football

I didn't see the Kilcoo v Clonduff game last night but I read that Barry O'Hagan came on and scored a couple of 2 pointers in a short period of time.

I know he's had serious injury issues but would there be a case for bringing him back to the county set up even as an impact sub role.

A fully fit Barry O'Hagan and  fully fit Liam Kerr would be huge additions to our forward line.

Shambles of a referring display in Esler, clear red card not given against Clonduff. Won't matter anyway in the long run. Burren Kilcoo final already assured, and this year I can see Burren beating the magpies easily. Kilcoo were dreadful against the yellas last week and weren't tested the week before against the Ford. Odhran Murdock is a cut above anyone else and Burren will have too much firepower for them up front this year. Big Treanor, Murdocks and half a dozen other county men in the ranks, only a matter of time before they start winning SFCs regularly again.  No Kerr or Magill against Island last day out and they looked as good as I've seen them in years. Hopefully we have a new champion this year, can see it coming back to Burren. They could give Ulster a real rattle

O dear, what's another year.

Referee did us no favours. And then didn't send Odhran off because he knew he had given Carryduff every single decision so tried to balance it all out.

Im a complete neutral with no skin in the game either way. I watched the game in full yesterday and cannot fathom how you can think the ref gave every decision against Burren. Carryduff were simply better drilled, had a superior kickout, dominated midfield and made better use of the chances they created up front. Im my opinion, the result had nothing to do with Faloon.

Burren kicked themselves out of that game, no heart and lost the heads at the end. Ref let alot go in the game - don't think it benefitted any team more than the other.

Burren were very disappointing after getting off to a dream start. Kicked 14 or so wides...and got completely dominated in midfield.

Without the threat of Magill or Kerr, Carryduff were able to double and triple up on Murdock and did a fine job on him.

Disappointing from Murdock in last few mins,obviously should have been sent off but I think Faloon had a bit of sympathy for him and knew the game was over so only produced the yellow...good referring to be honest and Murdock will hopefully learn from it.

In the other game, Kilcoo did what Kilcoo do best - got over the line, but not for the first time Clonduff will be kicking themselves, they really left that one behind.

On form, Carryduff could even be favourites for the final and will be confident - but Kilcoo will probably win by a point or two as usual.

Burren🤣
Where to start against a big side they lack in every part of the field, lads running around with their heads up their hole,

Say what you really mean and get off the fence 🤣🤣

Definitely wasn't good refereeing.

So if you're beat in a match beat and punch all round you last few minutes and the ref will have sympathy?

He bottled sending off the big county all star man

Hearing big mccrickard and Duffin have been approached for the Burren job.

Annaclone pip neighbours Clann Na Banna to make it to the Intermediate final. Bit of controversy will plague the final score of the game as it looked like Annaclone two-pointer to win the game was kicked from inside the arc.

[Point-to-Point]

Nothing between Annaclone and Clann na Banna at all in either game.

Both matches could have gone either way. Both teams in Division 2 next year, and each will be more than capable of holding their own.

Thought Clann na Banna had won it after the second goal. There could definitely well be an Intermediate Championship in them yet.

Seen a video and the kicker's foot is at very worst on the line, which is still a 2 pointer.

[knowbetter]

Ballycran Vs Ballygalget will be a very interesting game. Its essentially the young vs the experienced (I was going to say old but calling lads in their mid 30s old seems wrong)

Ballycran still have alot of cracking hurlers but given their recent performances seem to have let the fitness side of the game slip away.

Ballygalget on the other hand have plenty of lads under 25 from what I can tell plus the few more experienced players all on the right side of 30.

My prediction is Ballygalget plus 5. Unless Ballycran have trained loads in the previous weeks to improve fitness.

Either way they'll both cut lumps of each other and it'll be entertaining to watch.

[terrifictommy]

There's no controversy. It's silly people drawing fake lines and then sending that on social media to gullible people who believe it. The line isn't smooth for a start and anyone who knows that pitch will understand - it's impeccable.

We should just appreciate both games for what they were, both teams left it all there, nothing more to give. Scullion is a class act altogether. Best player on the pitch by a long way.

Saval will be favourites no doubt, but these two games will give Clone a real belief now.

Someone put a photo up on twitter and the line must be edited. Looks like the line was done freehand

Nothing in the 2 games overall and it could've went either way. CnB thought the game should have been over by the time the free was given last night but the same could be said for their score at the end of normal time on Sunday.
