You don't mean to say that the saviours of hurling in Down were beat in the Junior league by Ballygalget. What was the score, it surely must have been a tight game?

what was the score Ballygalget V Carryduff? Not showing on Down website. Castlewellan V Bredagh this evening, and last game to be played in Div 2 is Portaferry V Ballycran, but I think these teams are meeting in a more important fixture shortly! Any word on Div 1 as well as Joe McCrickard/Betsy Gray getting wrapped up?

It was a complete hammering somethin like 2-23 to 0-7

Reality check for Carryduff! That was Ballygalgets Thirds. Youse were laughing at Bredagh gettin stuffed by less last week by Portaferry Firsts. Youse are a long way behind.

Castlewellan to clingh promotion tonight with victory over Bredagh seconds. Dont think theyve won a match all year so should be straight forward enough but take nothing for granted.

Frank, check again. No Carryduff people slagging Bredagh about the senior championship on here. The slabbering is coming from the usual mouthpieces. There is nothing like it anywhere else on the Hoganstand county pages.

You are right about the reality check though. If C'wellan go up fair play to you.

2.24 to 7 points and Galgets hit about 16 wides and thats no exageration.the hoodies Carryduff were wearing during their warm up saying senior team on the back of them was all the motivation the depleted 17 man squad of Ballygalget needed

bcran had a handy squad out and it showed there.
Great result , clonduff are going well this season too.
Carryduff, or should it be carrybluff..................again false dawns and false promises. Some old hammering by the ards. Make no excuses. Hammered.

The Town beat Bredagh by 5 last night. It was a tough match but we pulled through in the end. Castlewellan 3-14 2-12 Bredagh. We can now opt for promotion if we want. Who will come down, Ballela or Newry?

I see Carryduff play Creggan in the Ulster Junior. Creggan play in Antrim Div 4 and should be beatable. Apparently they only have one good player Tomas McCann an if you double mark him Carryduff should win.

I can speak from experience that creggan will not be handy enough. they beat a very physical glenravel in the antrim final. mccann got 15 points i think, may well be easier to stop the supply of ball getting to him and hope big beattie can hold him if he gets it. good luck to them anyway, representing down now so we should all wish them well.

"I can speak from experience" where did you get that bagel? o thats right ur a senior player...........ha ha ha ha. good 1 mate.

coneill were u playing on Sunday in Ballygalget, wot happened did u lot only play with 12 men to give Ballygalget a chance? u played with 12 and the galgets played wit 18, that can be the only reason 4 that score line. has that result dented ur promotion aspirations?

Wasnt an acceptable performance..and if you follow hurling you would understand why

and just so ya know, conor mccann is the real danger man in that creggan team..he starts in the corner for antrim and stuck over four for against laois..brother tomas is an antrim sub at centre half back but also a danger man..from what iv heard a two man team..they won antrim junior so i would hardly say they wont be handy enough

what i meant to say was they wont be handy enough to beat as another poster commented.

Best of luck to Carryduff in Ulster, hope they give it a good rattle for Down hurlings sake. Any word from Balella or Shamrock guys on who's getting relegated from Div 1? I heard from a few that score difference doesnt settle if points are level, but that the teams must meet in a play-off. This was meant to be the case in the promotion battle between Clonduff and Castlewellan in Div 2 as highest non-Ards club. Clonduff finished on 14 points, while Cwellan, who were sitting on 12 points had two fixtures left but were both against Bredagh so both clubs agreed to play a four pointer the other night to wrap up their league campaign, which Castlewellan won 3-14 to 2-12, so that means Castlewellan get 16 points and go up to Division 1 as top non-Ards??? I thought Clonduff had pretty much said they were getting promoted, but on the Down website it says Clonduff, Ballygalget and Castlewellan all level on 14, but hasnt updated the Ballygalget 2-24 0-07 Carryduff result, as well as the Bredagh V Castlewellan fixture, which essentialy is the same reversed!

Anyone care to shed light on the promotion/relegation situation from the clubs involved??

Ive been told ballycran had a senior panellist sent off in Clonduff on saturday?? id ask why he got sent off but im quicker to ask why a senior panellist was playing for ballycran thirds?

TheKingdomgael (Down) - Posts: 167 - 21/09/2011 13:23:44    1039529

But surely Clonduff cannot go up on 14 points (7 wins, 7 defeats) while Castlewellan have 16 points (8 wins, 6 defeats) so technically they are the top non-Ards club in Div 2?

BarrackBuster (Down) - Posts: 525 - 21/09/2011 14:47:22    1039641

You are correct. Castlewellan can go up. Clonduff can't after they lost to Ballycran on Saturday.

Frank Mitchell (Down) - Posts: 1082 - 21/09/2011 14:57:02    1039649

is this the same castlewellan team that got beat in the junior final

A team should only be promoted if they win Div 2. If you can't compete with the Ards 3rds why on earth would you want to take a hiding from the 2nds. Ballyvarley won it fair and squad 2 years ago and went up. Bredagh and Newry have won in recent years to and deserved to go up. Finishing 4th in an 8 team league doesn't say you are too good for that league.

When are the Carryduff children going to give over? We know that you won the JHC by beating Castlewellan and no one else. You also finished second from bottom of the league.
