No Smith was very poor and was eventually taken off. Which got me thinking, with Hyland involved, where is Darren Smith of Lavey?


darren smith hasnt played football at all this year. injured i believe. would be a big help to senior set up

[BallyhaiseMan]

Im disappointed to hear that Eoin Smith wasnt great wednesday night,id have rated him alongside Darren Smith as the best full backs after Darren Rabbitte in the county.
He was playing great stuff with Killygarry last year,

One result from last night lads.

Castlerahan 1-14 1-8 Killeshandra

This was a refixed gamed from a couple of weeks ago.

Good result for us considering the amount of the lads that we were missing, probably 8 that will start in the championship. Not a reflection on how good we were though as Killeshandra were very very poor, Myles or Dougal you may be able to tell me how many ye were missing?

Haven't heard anything to be honest but I think they were missing Colm Duffy, Paddy King and I'm sure a couple others are gone travelling.

poor stuff from the lads last night,the worst ive seen them play since 08 id say.missing paddy king,rory braiden,declan mckiernan,colm duffy and our manager.took us at least 15 minutes to score in the second half.scored 1-4 in the last 10 or 15 minutes.

Is that Drung & the 'Bridge down in Division 2? Two county midfielders going down to join Givney?

No its the same for League also.
Game of 2 halves with the wind being the decisive factor as usual in Milltown. We scored 1 point on 2nd half. Drumlane were missing alot. They will be hard stopped come championship with Mc Connell, Dane O Dowd etc back for them.
Good win for you's CeltMan, who have yas 1st round?

Aye that pitch is fierce open and exposed to the wind.

Ahh we were chronic in the first half, six points to no score down after 15 minutes and we had the wind!  Fought back well and have a good few boys to come back in too I suppose.

We've Killinkere in the last league game and in the first round of the champo too.  What about yourselves.

[mylestheslasher]

Minors bet by 2 points. Played most of 2nd half a man down. Don't any other details.

Kill in the 1st round in 3 weeks. They have fairly picked themselves up,beating Drung handy Friday evening. I hear McKenna is playing very well.
Killinkere will be very hard bet,always a tough championship team.

Same old, same old with our Minors. Should have went in 2 or 3 points up at HT but took the wrong option in the forward line twice and went in level. Dewart was on a yellow and not playing well,probably should have been replaced, then went in late after the ball when Cavan were 2 points up in 2nd half,14 men,game over. How our Centre back and Captain was not taken off I'l never know.  In saying that too many lads took the wrong option when under pressure and by my count we won ONE break in the 2nd half which will never win you a game. We still had the winning of the game but sure don't we always.

Who was our number 6 Boojangles. I don't like being too harsh on young fellas but he was very poor especially tackling his man into the back on the sideline in the second half. I agree with what you say but in fairness Armagh kicked a hell of a lot of wides in the first half and as you say were strong at midfield. With the man less we just didn't look like penetrating and the goal was a killer. Good to see Johnston isn't as injured as Carr is letting on as he was doing the water. But if he's at all injured I don't understand him being out on the pitch at all.

Aaron Smith of Lavey. Maybe he had a bad day but he looked lost out there. We just won no breaks at all,which was very disappointing. We definitely had the beating of them in the 1st half but the sending off changed all that.
Johnston has been helping out with the Minors the last few months.He was only walking the line in fairness, if he's injured its doubtful standing along the line is gonna do much more damage.

[Lawrence of Knockbride]

Fair enough but there was a rumour (on Hoganstand) that he couldn't even stand on it. So I was relieved to see him jog on it at the start of the game. What I meant was if it was a race against time for him to be fit for Saturday then he'd be better off not standing on it for an hour. Hopefully there's no real problem.
