Down motoring or is it the case they have more work done than the opposition? Donegal,Monaghan was probably still seeking new management while Down was back to training.
Down more organised than they were this time last year.
They might be a good bet for the Tailteann.
Will they be playing in the Tailteann cup If they gain promotion in the league?

Looks like they will. With the way a Div 4 team is guaranteed to get to the Connacht final, and that Westmeath are guaranteed as last years winners, it means that there's essentially no place left for others who get promoted from Div 3 to 2. Quite the flaw in the setup there
Unfortunate but a year in the TC would do Down no harm, could potentially win it. Maybe they'll get to an Ulster final though. Wouldnt surprise me at all if they had a big year Lavery knows what he's at. Also wouldn't surprise me if he fell out with every non Kilcoo man in the squad lol

Look-Up!

Say if NY beat Leitrim and London beat Sligo, can either of these teams compete in AI last 16 proper? London probably not that big of deal but it would be some headache if NY made Connaught final.

It's amazing, after two games in the McKenna cup Down have gone from total shit to Tailteann Cup winners elect. And some people don't take this trophy seriously 😂

Cayyvannn still couldnt win the fecking thing!

The talent has always been there in Down as we all now, it's just getting their best players performing like they can do is the issue.

Must be something in the water in Down and Armagh - sure Armagh were suddenly gonna challenge on all fronts after a win over Donegal in the qualifiers and a quarter final loss to Galway

Down will be copying Armagh and having jersey days at schools across the county to celebrate winning two games.

Cayyvannn still couldnt win the fecking thing!

The talent has always been there in Down as we all now, it's just getting their best players performing like they can do is the issue.

You have issues with your spelling there.

You might list out what Armagh have won there in the last while. It shouldn't take you too long

Not a whole pile! But sure it's the hope that kills ye as we all know. Should be some Ulster championship this year. 7 teams capable of beating one another if they get themselves in order.

Down are not gona beat Derry, Armagh, Tyrone or Donegal!!

I guarantee you with the talent they have if they're all pulling the one way they'll give anyone a rattle. Donegal could struggle big time without Murphy this year. Remains to be see what way Derry will be this year will take a lot for them to back up last year!

Down will be concentrating on getting out of Div 3.  Anything after that is a bonus. Confidence building is key in Down. We have been on a long losing curve. Nearly 30 years.
