COACHING CORNER Carryduff in possession. Coaching question: When does patient possession become too slow? My answer: When the ball stops moving the defence. If they no longer have to shift, speed it up, play forward or attack the space. Patience doesn’t mean slow.

Best of Luck to our County Champions @KilcooGAC in today’s Ulster final. So many match winners on the pitch be hard to call a MOTM Discipline in the tackle in defence is the order of the day Magpies should have too much pace esp in the championship quarter

Such a day to be a supporter Not to be for the mourne men as we lick our wounds with championship around the corner. Div 2 highly competitive and we were kick of the ball away from getting results we needed. Hope now we nail down our playing style in Div3 and come back stronger

Massive learnings to be taken from last nights defeat Yes the rules aren’t perfect and there will be a few tweaks but we must adapt and use them to our advantage 2 massive takeaways which I know r being worked on Contested kick-outs and direct ball when on Sunday homework📚 ✅
