Great result today, promotion was vital for this team. Probably wasn't as easy as the scoreline suggests, 2 goals in quick succession gave us a stress free last quarter. A trip to croke park now to look forward to. Well done all, first and probably most important target for the season achieved.

Great to see the hurlers making the league semi finals. Let's have an update on yesterday's game Splash and keep up the good work.
Quote from: ardtole on March 17, 2024, 11:48:52 AMSplash has certainly been a welcome addition to the Down forum. I enjoy the coverage of the ihc and jhc during the summer, games you would generally hear little about. It's encouraging to hear of progress at underage particularly at clubs like Castlewellan and CPN, where you would associate them more as football clubs.

Appreciate it. Just trying to keep as much hurling discussion going as possible. We all want the best for Down, Sandstorm,  ;D no call to resort to bickering or insulting anyone, and glad you find the talk about the junior and intermediate interesting,  Ardtole.

Glad yous are enjoying the bit of hurling discussion going on, lately.

Anyway, a great day out for the hurlers on Saturday. A 9 point win on such a miserable day. Not bad at all.

Daithí Sands was unreal, scoring 3-3 from play.

That relegates Meath and sends us into a league semi final. 70 minutes away from being back in Division One. Will now face Laois next week, in Laois.

Will be a very tough game. Down gave Laois a scare in the first round, and they'll not be expecting an easy game, and Laois will feel as though they're well fit to compete with Antrim, Westmeath, and Offaly next year. But Down have been going very good this season. Undefeated at home, and biggest loss was only 7 points after a late goal and some last minute frees by Laois in the first round.

Couple injuries and Eoghan Sands likely to miss the game after getting sent off the other day, but there's a good depth to this Down squad, so let's be hopeful.

Would be great to see Down in the Division One, and they've shown they're well fit to compete with the likes of Antrim, Westmeath, Offaly, etc.

Let's hope the momentum keeps going until Saturday.
 



how did they decide that Down have to play their semi final against Laois in Portlaoise? Seen the division 1 semi finals are at neutral venues.

Quote from: bannside on March 04, 2024, 05:36:40 PMDepends what way you look at it Sheedy. Sligo beat us (Antrim) handily, but we were very competitive against both Offaly and Westmeath!
yeah probably shows the inconsistencies in a lot of the teams. Was surprised Sligo put up such a big score against Antrim, then they were poor against Down.

From a Down point of view it's vital for the team to get promoted this year, playing well so far and beating teams comfortably but it's not job done yet.

The division is playing out much as people expected with Down and Westmeath setting the pace. Down play Westmeath next which gives Clare the chance to join one of them on 10 points.

Down easily disposed of Sligo yesterday and won pulling up, thought Sligo would have offered more. Going on the performances I've seen against Down, Offaly actually looked a better team than Sligo though the league table doesn't reflect that.

Good performance today, much better than last week. Sligo had no answer to the pace of the forward play once we got going. Although we still coughed up a couple of decent goal chances, the defence was better this week.
Hopefully Odhran Murdock's injury isn't too serious as there's tougher tests ahead.

RIP Dan McCartan, one of the greats of Down football

Quote from: lurganblue on February 26, 2024, 01:48:26 PMThe Premier League dont seem to have a scooby doo on how to enforce these rules/sanctions.

It's independent.

6 points is still a fair wallop. Everton can have no complaints and I have little sympathy for them. They knew they were going to have a breech of FFP, told the PL that and then after the PL told them how to avoid it they continued to buy players. They took a short term view in order to keep their PL status. Essentially cheating. It has worked for them as they'll swallow this punishment, and most likely stay in the PL.

would be a good idea to read into it before typing nonsense.

Down mixed some decent attacking play with some really poor defensive play. Offaly scoring 2-14 is a real concern and they should've had a couple more goals, when they ran at us they caused us problems. We're still lacking a top quality forward to kick points from play. A win is a win but Laverty will be far from happy.

Quote from: Golden Eye on February 15, 2024, 11:15:59 PMAgain Down GAA Social media shocking to say the least! No Recognition to are players involved last night!

If the difference between someone's happiness and plight, is that our county board publishes a congratulations message every time someone from Down wins something in any sphere of Gaelic Games, then I really do despair for the future of the human race.

We do not need this validation of our efforts. We really do not.

Bit of a ridiculous comment with the usual hyperbole of course. If you can't see the value of a simple social media acknowledgement to the great sporting achievement of some players from our county then why are you even participating in online discussion boards?
I missed the sigerson final. Did many Dpwn men start?
did you not see it mentioned on social media then? check it out there
