Down Club Hurling & Football

[Truth hurts]

Providing they go on and win the All-Ireland - Where would this Kilcoo team rank against the Burren team of the 80s? Wasn't born so wouldn't know what that team of the 80s were like.

To be honest, I reckon Burren would win by a point or two but in saying that Shorty and the McGoverns must be close to 60 now.

[Truth hurts]

A lot of the resentment towards Kilcoo in Down is a mix of the supposed dirty tactics and sledging that has went on in recent years. Although can all teams in the county/country say they have no players that do this? And there would be jealousy also. A lot of the big clubs in Down are no where near matching Kilcoo for intensity determination and planning. They watch kilcoo breeze past them year in year out but they fail to come back better prepared the following year. I'd say most Down people want to see kilcoo  do well once they come out of Down. Im a Down man and I hope they win the All Ireqlnd.

There is no supposed about it tbh
In saying that the sledging and dirty tactics have stopped since Moran took control and he seems to not want that type of stuff associated with him

Down seniors drew with London on Friday night
By god we are in for a long year

[Targetman]

It could be short enough!

Do you know what the line-out was?Bit premature to be judging unless we know the line/out.I'd presume London would have been at full strength and we'd been trying out an inexperienced side.

Very underwhelming lead up to the National League campaign.

I'm sure whoever played that game the other night will have been a fringe or squad player getting their chance so wouldn't read too much in to that...

As things stand, Starting 15 for the Div2 opener for me would be:

Burns

McCartan
McElroy
Fegan
McCormack
McParland
Mooney

Doherty
Connery

O'Rawe
Laverty
Guinness
O'Hagan
Gilmore
Quinn or Havern (If fit)

Badly in need of the Kilcoo lads to come back in. Anyone know why Shane Annett isn't on the squad? Always quality any time I've watched him

Mooney the o hagans and mckernan all played against london and then a lot of the lads that played against donegal.

Who would win - That team above, or Kilcoo?

Some guff talked on here tbf...Mooney and McKernan not available the other night so that's a good start. Also who are the 'lot of other lads'?

Never let the truth get in the way and all that...
