Who are the main players for each team? Would it be close on paper? frankie101 (Down) - Posts: 9 - 26/10/2017 14:00:24 2058181 Link
Replying To frankie101: "Who are the main players for each team? Would it be close on paper?" For Ballycran I'd say Liam McCarthy In the back line, Phelim Savage in midfield and upfront Stuart Martin, these are the boys who they'll have to watch out for. For Portaferry, Tom Murray Callum Smyth Ronan Blair Ronan Murphy and young padraig doran RedDog68 (Down) - Posts: 291 - 26/10/2017 19:35:35 2058330 Link
Ports by 9+ points...I can only see one winner here! THEMOLE2 (Down) - Posts: 1615 - 27/10/2017 09:58:24 2058483 Link

Replying To Galgetgael: "Ports by a bag full unless they have a particularly bad night" They must of had a bad night - another upset this year yet again. Galgetgael (Down) - Posts: 218 - 01/11/2017 21:29:46 2059644 Link
Replying To Galgetgael: "They must of had a bad night - another upset this year yet again." Congratulations to Ballycran worthy winners. Went to sleep after going 9 points up but were the better team around the middle third with 6, 8,9 and 11 all wining their personal battles. Ports missed some easy frees in the first half, conceded goals at the start of each half and only have themselves to blame. Profit1 (Antrim) - Posts: 37 - 01/11/2017 22:20:38 2059656 Link
Well done to Ballycran, they were simply the better team who wanted it the most. frankie101 (Down) - Posts: 9 - 02/11/2017 03:51:25 2059673 Link
Replying To downredhand: "If Ballycran play anything like they did in the semi then the Ports will win with a bit in hand" Fair play to Ballycran, although they nearly let it slip at the end and looked dead on their feet in the final 10 minutes or so they looked deserving winners. Portaferry's big players didn't make the impact many expected downredhand (Tyrone) - Posts: 567 - 02/11/2017 08:44:26 2059681 Link

Only shock to me is how did not win by more? Thekid14 (Down) - Posts: 222 - 02/11/2017 14:37:43 2059788 Link

DOWN MHC FINAL - RESULT Ballycran 3-14 V 2-15 Portaferry That's me finished tipping! I fancied the Ports to do the business here but fair play to the Crans, they were outstanding! They got of to the best possibly start with a goal within 2 mins of the game starting and they done exactly the same right at the start of the second half. The ports, to their credit, clawed it back to within a point (I think a point - there was no scoreboard, so not 100% sure!!) but they hit some poor wides. I think there was 6 points in it to the Crans at half-time. The centre half back for the Crans was outstanding, in fact, the Cran half back line and midfield won a lot of the ball in that area. Some really outstanding long range scores from both teams but the Crans appeared to want it more although there was nothing more than a strike of the ball between the teams at the end. I assume there is an Minor Ulster Club championship...anyone advise/confirm. I can't find fixtures anywhere.... THEMOLE2 (Down) - Posts: 1615 - 03/11/2017 09:05:44 2059966 Link

Ports thought it was only a matter of turning up and got caught cold. That can happen when everyone is telling you how great you are all the time and you don't put the hard yards in. We'd only a panel of 18, so we need a clean bill of health to keep going. bricktop (Down) - Posts: 2503 - 03/11/2017 09:29:22 2059976 Link
