Ladies Gaelic Round-up 26th May 2008
Saval picked up both points against Burren
and Bryansford had a walkover due to Downpatricks
inability to field. With none of the top 3
in action the status quo was maintained. Castlewellan
still sit on top by a point but Clonduff with
2 games in hand are the better placed to steal
the honours. Looking to Wednesday night’s
games I would expect Clonduff to advance against
Saval. Burren could pick up their second win
of the season against Downpatrick as the hoops
are struggling with injuries.
In the Intermediate league Carryduff had
a big week with wins over Bredagh and Rostrevor
to cement their position at the top of the
table whilst Bright kept in touch with a late
winner against Bredagh. Kilcoo fresh after
their defeat of the league leaders last week,
fell to a determined Ballymartin outfit in
a classic game of open end to end football.
Loughinisland got their first win of the season
with a 2-point win over Tullylish in a close
encounter which could have gone either way.
On Wednesday night Ballymartin will meet Loughinisland
and they will be looking for maximum points,
Loughinisland with their first win of the
season behind them will see things a little
differently and Ballymartin will need to be
on top form to take the points on offer. To
Monday nights games there should be wins for
Carryduff and Kilcoo. The game of the night
will be the meeting of Bright and Rostrevor
and on current form I will plump for Bright
though they should be wary as the reds fell
heavily to Carryduf last time out and they
will look to bounce back quickly and a scalp
like Bright would go a long way in easing
the pain. Ballymartin v Bredagh should be
a close match and home advantage should be
enough to steal the honours for the whites.
In the Junior league Aughlisnafin had a big
win over Teconnaught to move into 2nd spot
behind Shamrocks. Looking to Monday nights
games I would expect wins for Shamrocks, Clonduff
and Aughlisnafin.
