Also from neither club but i personally thought he was very harsh on Newtown on multiple occasions
If he really wanted to get at them he would have moved the ball forward on numerous occasions for Newtown complaining. Both lines persons brought issues to referees attention too and on one occasion I saw a linesman give a stern lecture to the Newtown sideline. If they had have concentrated on the game they had a chance. Also, the constant roaring of " contact" on a slippery pitch with a referee blowing any contact from either team was madness.

Shout out to our Junior team who made history on Friday night by claiming the inaugural Junior B Championship trophy in the Athletic Grounds. To say the game was dramatic does not do it justice, as Harps won the game by a point, with a two point free kick with the last kick of the match. For Clans, they will surely kick themselves for losing that game. They had an eminently kickable free kick, thirty yards out in front of the posts, when leading by a point late in injury time. It seemed certain that simply putting the ball dead would be the winning of the game, but they played it short and got turned over.

Both sides were guilty of a lot of errors in difficult underfoot conditions, but I'd have to commend our lads for their never say die attitude to keep going and set up the victory with that last gasp winner. Hard luck to the Clans lads who were very gracious in defeat.

Referee in this Newtown v Clonmore game is atrocious. He should put a saddle on Newtown
He is honestly a terrible ref. I watched the game as a neutral and Clonmore deserving winners, but by god the ref was atrocious. Should not be allowed to ref anything over u12s football. Some of the frees he was giving to both sides for minimal contact was crazy. It got the the stage where all you had to do was run at a man and he would blow for a foul. I really hope someone from the county board or head of referees (if that is a thing) was watching or made aware of his display. Needs nipped in the bud now at this business end of the championship

Potentially 11 days out from semi finals and still no fixtures confirmed for junior semi finals. Surely semi finals and final days and venues have been confirmed months ago regardless of who is in them. Senior and intermediate fixtures are usually out within 24hours.

Both in the Athletic Grounds.
