Are there any injuries for this week's game in Aughrim?

Areas that could be targeted are Newcastle and Downpatrick. Is there a hurling GPO?

The only way to improve hurling in Down is to get more clubs playing, we punch way above where we should and produce hurlers of real quality but just dont have the critical mass to be a top tier team. Some of the bigger football only clubs should start hurling.

Could it be that larger football teams would not be affiliated with a hurling club? Would the young men from Kilcoo not play for Liatroim? Kilcoo had a few talented players in the 80s.

Disappointing defeat to Kildare for the hurlers yesterday in the Kehoe Cup. No pre-season silverware this year.

Close enough game in the end. Ultimately you have to be happy enough with the pre-season. Beat Meath, and have the potential to beat Kildare. At the end of the day, when we play these teams later in the year, they will be, in all likelihood, must-win games to avoid relegation in the league and championship, let alone gain promotion. Hopefully we finish this preseason off well with a good performance over Wicklow in the next round.

Have to say, Kildare's Hurling Action Plan has been quite remarkable over the past few years, and would be great to see us implement something similar in Down.

How would you improve hurling in the county?

Has the public disclosure of Tom Ryan's independent review's findings occurred yet?

This has been brushed under the carpet.

We, the loyal members of the Down GAA, have tolerated mediocrity in football and hurling since the year 2000. In Ulster, we used to be respected, but now we have to be jealous of places like Derry, Tyrone, Donegal, etc. What is wrong with our wonderful county?

Has anyone the message?

That's wild, is Lurgan a big drug place now. was conway the leader of the firm ?

There are rumours that the old anti drug IRA lads are looking to take Lurgan back. This will make a great TV show in a few years.

The local community will be happy with that

Was the fella Conway always involved in drugs around Lurgan? Was he ever involved in playing GAA?
Only 26 and getting caught up in this. It's mad altogether.

Regarding the keeper, I agree that he was outstanding and I hope he gets a run of games going forward. We were too lax and too open defensively. I thought our forwards were poor for a large part of the game. We could need a couple of Kilcoo guys in the attack. Murdock is a fantastic player and is leading the team. All in all, it was a good campaign and we were unlucky not to make the semi-final.

 A strong team, good luck lads

Is there any update on tonight's squad?
