Group 1 Galway/Mayo,Armagh/Donegal,Derry Westmeath

Group 2 Dublin/Louth Galway/Mayo Roscommon Cavan

Group  3 Donegal/Armagh Kerry/Clare,Tyrone Cork

Group 4 Kerry/Cork Dublin/Louth Monaghan Meath

Little bit more editing to do there.
Change Cork to Clare in group 4

We all know who is going to be in group 4 and it isn't Clare.

Happy enough with that draw, irrespective of the Ulster final result we avoid Dublin and Kerry in the groups. Even better to win the Ulster final as we then avoid Derry as well who would be the three top teams in the competition.

Derry will also be happy with that draw as it gives them a chance of topping the group, it could have been a whole lot worse for them as a third seed.

Weakest Tailteann Cup list since its inception so expecting a final appearance as a minimum

Aye could top that group avoiding trips to Dublin or Kerry or Mayo/Galway. A day out in Athletics Ground be good craic and not beyond the realms of possibility that Armagh win Ulster. Top two very doable..

Offaly, Limerick and London then?

Seems like it..

Home to limerick
Away to London
Neutral venue for Offaly

If our league performances are anything to go by this shouldn't be difficult


League Results:

Down 4.12 Off. 2.14
Down 3.16 Limerick 0.09

So possible the Offaly game is the only one that might be worth attending..but still it's a no from me.

I for one enjoyed the game, having went to Clones expecting Down to be on the wrong end of a heavy beating, I was hoping to see what the Management where tactically capable off in order to make a much less physical and skilfully developed team cope with a top 10 team and thats exactly what I got. It was tactically spot on! Frustrated a team in every area they thrive on and hot them for scores outselves, only issue is our pack of ability to shoot from distance. In fact, the final score from Armagh there was a foul on Doherty that the ref didnt call. Was it great free flowing football? no because we would now be reading comments about how poor we are and unable to put it up to better teams if we had of tried. Tyrone and Donegal have won Ulsters playing frustrating football, you do what you have to. There are no rules that will change football back to the 90's. Coaches and backroom teams are too smart and  professional now to use rules to advantage. Just leave game alone. Same people complaining probably spend a few hundred pound to fly to england and watch 90 mins of 0-0 scoreline and lads falling like they broke their leg and walk with the ball. Least we get it for £20

Did u not watch Doherty on Saturday diving around the place?? It was embarrassing - I think he got 1 free out of 4 diving attempts. But in the Down club championship he gets all of them frees as our referees fall for them every time.
U20s win the Leo Murphy cup tonight - Laverty should introduce a few of them to the panel going into the B cup. Time a few were cut adrift as they are not getting near the match day squads. 

Who would you take up?

Doran is the only one who would make senior,  the rest forget

Only 1 player from the whole group?
Write the rest off? They were in an extremely tough group. Drew with Tyrone who are in the final.

IMO

anyone who watched last night's match against Fermanagh wouldn't be looking at calling up too many players to the senior set up. It was a really low quality match with loads of turnovers and some really poor wides.

Finn Murdock, Senan Carr, Jamie Dornan, Tom Mccarroll, Cian Cunningham were potential names for the future but don't think any are ready at the minute.

Is there an argument to say the loser of Mayo/Galway would be at an advantage in the group stages?

Well they're most likely going to be in a prelim if they're in Dublins group. Armagh/Donegal and Derry are a fair bit stronger than Rossies and Cavan and Westmeath no pushovers.

Rossies and Cavan are no gimmes.
