red and green they are treated as such because they cant win them on the same lines there are players in the ards that will never play senior county but r better that the south down r juniors whatever that crap is but cant play junior county like others why

redgreen is only being honest and we'll soon see that in the next few weeks.

The ards put out ridiculous teams in the betsy grey.its not a 3rds champ at all the teams yous bai's put out.uz have teams made up of 2nds and 1st players fs hence the reason why the other clubs dont take it seriously

if boys take the easy option to try to win the "easier" competition, then they will get nowhere. time to man up and give it a lash again the ards 3

thought the carryduff castlewellan junior final was one of the most exciting matches i had seen all year. Duff were superb 1st half, didnt have programme, but their full forward and midfielders were awesome. 2nd half was exciting, without being flooded with quality, and castlwellan fought back valiantly. 2 in a week for the duff, i would say they are partying up in Belfast.

shut up with that rubbish ! Its not a 3rds champ?! are you on drugs? stop complaining, its our named 3rds lads , we always switch between 2nds lads because we are small clubs who have lads who will be aiming to improve themselves in 2nds leagues , 8 or 9 of the 2nds panel will be the better 3rds lads......it stands to bloody sense.

Stop complaining and go and do some WORK ON THE FIELD AND DO SOMETHING MEANINGFUL WITH YOURSELVES.

Youll never do anything whinging. Look at cduff and bredagh , everyone slated them for being useless. They got their finger(s) out and actually went and done the graft to achieve something. (bredagh) Antrim div 3 and light years ahead of the mainlanders and the duff are picking up well , can see maybe a breakthrough next year or the year after with the squad of minors moving up and new lads available for them.

Another idiotic comment from cahill. im not sure what club your from but not one of the ards teams is exactly setting the world on fire. you take a lot of interest in bredagh and carryduff. anyone would think you were getting worried.

ffs lads/lassies...do ya not think we should be encouraging all hurley teams? we do enough fighting with the footballers/county board...we don't need to fight among the hurley group aswell.

Thanks for that Cahill. Yes Bredagh and Carryduff are doing ok considering the short time they have been in existence. Bredagh newly promoted to Div3 in Antrim have recorded 6 wins and 2 draws in what looks like a tight enough league with decent hurling Clubs competing. Their seconds are languishing in Div2 in Down but its a credit that they are at a stage of their developement that they can put out 2 teams and fulfill fixtures. Ballela and Warrenpoint tried it in recent years but couldnt sustain the 2 teams. With Bredaghs numbers and underage structures it will not be long before their seconds are winning matches and competing for honours in Div2.

As for Carryduff, they're doing ok getting better year on year and now they have won JHC that will give them a boost and they should do well in Div 2 next season. And of course I nearly forgot Cahill their minors aren't bad! So again Cahill thanks for highlighting how well these 2 north Down Clubs are doing and you are hepling to keep their profile high. Clearly you are delighted with their progress!

I am delighted 2 see how with a catchment area as big as bredagh have they can field two teams, well done lads. and to see carryduff progress well in the minor again with the large catchment area they had 2 amalgamate to produce a team to win, is that progress?
league results speak 4 themselves, no harm 2 anyone division 3 Antrim is no great shakes I think they were getting better opposition in down but im sure they av a cunning plan.
Promotion, progress, procrastination we'll see. when the big ball calls we know where the duffers and bredagh will go.

Long John - Seems like your last post fell on deaf ears mate. For what it's worth I think you are spot on.

Sad times Suas Sios. It funny how people on here complain about the support the county board give the hurling people, but yet we won't support/encourage the teams ourselves.....

Long_John (Down) - Posts: 299 - 24/08/2011 15:27:08    1018157

long john get over it kid.
all u heard over the past few years is promote promote promote hurlin in s down. invest invest invest in hurlin in s down, wot about promoting more in the rural clubs on the Ards.
i see that s down are not in the national league this year, why not push that ill spent money toward the Ballycrans Ballygalgets and the Portaferrys of this hollow county of ours.
its time we had members on the hurlin board with a set of ba... some one/people who will stand up and fight the hurlin corner instead of being pupets dancing to the tune from the football fraternity.
There now!!!!!
