Down Club Hurling & Football

[DaisyCutter]

Sorry, the players named previously are obviously being rested until the National League (McKernan, Rooney...etc).

[NP 76]

Is Rooney not injuried .? Heard that Doyle is also injuried and Rafferty has to go for an operation . Jamie o Reily , Owen Costello and Timmy Hanns all with Queens . Anton with UUJ . Glad to see Peter Turley back strong player

[supersub]

McComiskey gone to St Galls?

Really?

So I am lead to believe! Was wondering if anyone else knew much about it?

Thats the first ive heard of it! Apart fro mthe debate we had hear about it a while back! Where's Dundrumite? He will obviously know!

Jerome Quinn posted about it on Facebook the other day. Must be something in it!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS ALL POSTERS!!

[alba2]

Happy xmas to all.  Hope 2012 brings what 2011 didnt.  Stability needed in division one again and move a step closer in Ulster to maybe winning the title.  Good path for us to get to the final and then its only one game to really lift the performance in.  Lets hope the players in the panel are justified in their inclusion and really make a name for themselves in the coming weeks.  There are a few injuries so some young fella can make a claim for a place real quick.

Down (Dr McKenna Cup squad):
Brendan McVeigh, Damian Turley, Daniel McCartan,
Dan Gordon, Daniel McCartan, Niall Brannigan,
Kevin Duffin, Conor Garvey, Brendan McArdle,
Mark Doran, Darren O'Hagan, Peter Turley,
Conor Gough, Kalum King, Ambrose Rogers,
Aidan Carr, Daniel Hughes, Niall McParland,
Arthur McConville, Benny Coulter, Conor Laverty,
Eoin McCartan, Paul McComiskey, Marcus Miskelly.

I am a bit disappointed Phillip Bonny isn't there, thought he showed well last year. No sign of the Aiden Brannigan, Polands, Liam Doyle or McGinn. Are they injured or just being rested? Also several defenders missing, Rafferty and McKernan are fit so I guess they are being rested, I don't think Rooney is fit is he?

Interesting.

Either Dan McCartan is that vital that he has to be mentioned twice or one of those should have been Gerrard!!

If Bonny isnt in Australia I would be a bit disappointed myself.  Glad Pete Turley getting another look.

Anton McArdle must be with UUJ as well as Jamie O'Reilly with Queens.  Average enough looking panel but sure McKenna cup is about giving boys a chance.

Any other players that will be playing for the uni. teams?

timmy hanah, jamie o'reilly

2 Daniel McCartans and 2 Jamie O'Reillys..

One Goalkeeper?? Strange???

[real food, real people]

Thoughts are with the Craig family and all Saul Gaels on the passing of club chairman Peter Craig. In life there are visionaries & there are activists, rarely do we get an individual capable of being both, Pete was one such individual. He'll be sorely missed.

Decent squad, think I count 7 lads that are 21 or younger? Very encouraging, great for those lads. Kevin Anderson getting another shot at it too. Has he played a competitve game for Down before? Really surprised to see him back, thought he would be sick of it by now.

[NP 76]

Anderson played Mc Kenna cup before but dont think he ever played league
