A lot of chat about the Red High playing B Football. Given how successful they are at Hurling with a large intake from the Ards, that might explain why they are not at MacRory due a large number of boys each year concentrating on Hurling.
With regards the propsed amalgamation, more numbers in this case will not translate to better teams as their traditional feeder clubs outside of the Downpatrick postcode will have to sit an entrance exam to the new school. This could see these students not get in and even if they pass, still denied a place due to numbers. The result being they go to other schools leaving the new school teams reliant on just 4-5 local clubs around Downpatrick. This will probably mean dropping down the grades in Ulster Schools.
Not much chat about St Malachy's with their large intake and rich feeder clubs dropping down to C grade Markey Cup this season or indeed Kilkeel and Warrenpoint playing at C grades.

Good to see Teak Tough Geezer get a new deal. No better WARRIOR for the job!

Any truth in the rumour that Banty or Corrigan are joining the backroom ticket?

Think there's legs in the story about Gavin. Heard he was in the Greenans at the weekend.
Some Danish guy called Lars ( didn't get his surname) joining back room as S&C coach. Has worked with Morgan apparently before

I hear that this guy Lars from Denmark is highly rated. You could say he's a great Dane! Very obedient and like a dog with a bone during his sessions!
