Down Club Hurling & Football

Just seen that Kilcoo are into their 14th county final in a row lol. Assume it's a mix of them being that good and others not being up to standard?

Great achievement from kilcoo. They dont look as convincing though but they still know how to win. Clonduff missed a big chance tonight and will be dissapointed. Carryduff will be quietly confident in the final.

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.

Some shite spewed.. Junior belongs in Newry were it's always been played.

Double header with the intermediate or the Senior final.

Does it belong on a Friday evening at 7.15/7.30? What time would the players involved need to leave work, meet up and then head into Newry for a warm up, etc? It might be the biggest game some the players involved ever play in, surely they deserve more than a Friday evening?
The two clubs involved in the junior final would be pretty small clubs I'm assuming-how do Kilclief manage to field in both hurling and football with such small numbers?
