Very important win for Down. Had the potential of a banana skin for us there.
   Clare and Westmeath should both win tomorrow easily.
   Sligo vs Antrim harder call.

Another 2 points tonight. The performance was good, not brilliant but Down were the better team and result is what counts. Nobody was outstanding but Pat havern was probably the most consistent performer tonight.  They will not be happy and the amount conceded which would be costly in a higher division.

Offaly are a lot better team than their league position suggests , going on what I saw of them last night. The No 5 was immense I think he was the standout player on that u20 winning team. Is there many of that winning U20 team in senior now.

Good win for us - have a feeling our last game v Westmeath will determine who goes up with Down..
I used to be indecisive but now I'm not too sure.

Would this week's match v Down not be a decider more so than the Westmeath game?

True but what I meant was if Dow beat both us and Westmeath then our bead to head might decide who goes up.  Can't rule out Clare either. Down with a tough closing schedule with Sligo, Westmeath and Clare left.
I used to be indecisive but now I'm not too sure.

SHEEDY

The division is playing out much as people expected with Down and Westmeath setting the pace. Down play Westmeath next which gives Clare the chance to join one of them on 10 points.

Down easily disposed of Sligo yesterday and won pulling up, thought Sligo would have offered more. Going on the performances I've seen against Down, Offaly actually looked a better team than Sligo though the league table doesn't reflect that.

Depends what way you look at it Sheedy. Sligo beat us (Antrim) handily, but we were very competitive against both Offaly and Westmeath!

yeah probably shows the inconsistencies in a lot of the teams. Was surprised Sligo put up such a big score against Antrim, then they were poor against Down.

From a Down point of view it's vital for the team to get promoted this year, playing well so far and beating teams comfortably but it's not job done yet.

12 pts will be needed for promotion. High likelihood Sligo dont get past 6pts
