Down Club Hurling & Football

For the winning team to abuse the ref takes it to another level. Thought the ref was fine, maybe missed a foot-block on Jerome Johnson in the 2nd half, but the umpires should have been more alert.
We urgently need a change in culture; if this kind of abuse happens in a showpiece, televised game, imagine what it's like at lower levels. Hate to compare us to rugby, but their discipline really does put us to shame

Massive win for Carryduff v Clonduff, I cannot remember them being over strong at this level during underage?

Carryduff have a lot of depth available at this age group if truth be told.  Plus a decent sanction from DX.  I'd say they will fancy themselves for this but Burren will be favourites.

why do they take sanctions? Co board should not allow this

Any team can take a certain number of sanctions - how many lads are we talking about? If it's 1 or 2 is it not better than them not playing at all? I've no side in that fight by the way.

An excellent weekend of football finals we've just had. I thought the quality across the board was very good, and as other posters have highlighted, I expect to see several who featured in the senior final to be in Lavery's panel. Congrats to Kilcoo, Saval, and Teconnaught and best of luck to them for their Ulster campaign. I can't help but feel for Warrenpoint, what a battling performance they put in, some very good individual performances all over the pitch. Thoroughly enjoyed the intermediate final as well on Saturday, wasn't expecting that result and Saval full value for their win. Fantastic goal by McCarthy, completely changed the game. A very good start to Danny Hughes managerial career, promotion with Castlewellan last year and now a championship win with his home club.

Danny would be a good addition to Conor backroom team but ill say he will want to take Saval back to division one. Saval were always strong in the 80s and they seem to be going in the right direction.

Not a fan of the hype??

Be better for that young lad not to preview it to anyone if CL wants to keep things tight.
