Down Club Hurling & Football

[Steady hand]

Should be 2 from 2 for Glenn, the ref was a joke

[Down Follower]

Some good games the other night.  Glenn are surprising me with their performances to date and both themselves and Tullyslish will be hard to beat at home it seems.  Burren have two losses so far but wont be overly concerned given the calibre of opposition they have faced to date.

Heres for Saturdays games:

Kilcoo v Tullylish - Kilcoo to give Tullylish a reality check
Stone v Rostrevor - Two very similar teams - maybe Ambrose and Poland to edge it for the Stone
Loughinisland v Clonduff - Loughinisland to get off the mark with their first win
Bridge v Castlewellan - Big test for Castlewellan and they get a hesitant vote
Glenn v Burren - Burren to come through a battle
Liatrom v Bryansford - Ford to keep up their winning run - possibly in some style
RGU v Annaclone - Hoops are strong at home and will have too much for a battling Annaclone
Ballyholland v Saval - Ballyholland surprise strugglers so far but may come good in this local rivalry.

In regards to Shaun parr I think Down have too many players like him. Ryan Brady was outstanding last night as well but we need big players and we dont have them in the county unless anyone is shining in the lesser divisions

Glenn v Saval a great game of football some very very strange decisions by referee cost Glenn 2 points seems you only need to look at
our county players and they get frees

Pretty bland senior draw, you could prob pick at least 6 quarter finalists already.

Any provisional dates for these games ?

To be fair thats the way of it nowadays with the groups but what it does is pretty much guarantee some blockbuster quarter finals and semi finals.

I can only see Burren, Kilcoo, Bryansford and Castlewellan to reach Quarter Finals. the remaining 4 places is hard to predict in this new rule of Black Cards.

Down Follower, your prediction near perfect last Monday and wont be far off for this Sat either.

Mayobridge would be strong favourites to go through and Saval should have too much firepower. Is there a back door in the PRFC?

[Lecale2]

Good to see Ballykinlar in the JFC. Have reports of their demise been exaggerated?

[ardtole]

Not really. The Jfc is still knockout, id imagine if you were to organise an over forty team for a one off match  most teams could manage it. It might be enough to kick start them again for next year, but they were struggling badly for at least five years.

[ardtole]

It might be enough give them a new lease of life  or a last dying kick, sad to see, we had a real strong rivalry with them in the early 90s but they gradually faded away.
