Sorry to correct you but if you go to Croke park and go through the records it will tell you that on 30th April 1888 St Patrick's Mayobridge became the first club in the county to have an affiliation accepted by the GAA. This makes Mayobridge the oldest registered club in the county .

Did Mayobridge not fold for a while in the 60s? I always thought Leitrim Fontenays were the oldest club, im open to correction though.

Why does it take so long every year to get Club championship dates out?  Ya try to organise family, work, holidays, etc around GAA commitments but feck it's not made easy!  Any idea when they'll be out?  After Sunday?

[Minus15]

They have been out since February time. 1st, 2nd and 4th weekends in August, but these of course could be subject to change depending on Down's championship progress.

[outinfront]

Aye, I was hoping someone would know the actual fixture dates.  But as you say they could be subject to change.

i can recall being pretty outnumbered in Clones last july, also in Breffni against Sligo back in 2010.
To be honest i couldnt blame Down people for not travelling they way the team have collapsed in the past. A lot of money to travel to see that especially when its on the TV.
In saying that i will be in Breffni for the minor and the senior matches. A Minor victory and a narrow defeat the best we can hope for.

good luck to both down teams tomorrow. #believe.
