 Keith was an improvement this year from the last few years.
Adams may do better again!

Rosskarr, hard to understand what you are saying? Did Clonduff improve last year? If so , why have they changed manager. From my own point of view it's unfair to give a man 1 year and expect miracles. I thought Clonduff were doing well under Benny Corrigan and got rid off too soon

[rosskarr]

Just thought Championship wise they were better than 2013

Did the minors change management? Last may in Omagh was the  worst performance ive ever seen in my time from a Down minor team in the championship

If you knew enough about what the minor manager had at his disposal then you might be able to understand why we were so bad...Shane Mulholland is still there.

this year was poor. last year down had a great squad and still didnt deliver. so whats going to be diferent this year?

[Shamrocks Gaelp]

Will Dawson take on the role of a selector or is he just the new U21 manager?

I don't live in the  county anymore so don't know much about the minor standard to be honest. so whats the pick for next year any better. Still doesn't take away from the fact that the manager must take some of the blame for such a terrible performance.  It wasn't as if tyrone minors were that great either.

[Shamrocks Gaelp]

In my opinion the minors will mount a challenge next year

From Official Down GAA Facebook page

Down Senior Football Team Manager Jim McCorry is delighted to announce that Frank Dawson will be taking up the role of Under 21 coach as part of his backroom team.

Frank will work closely with Jim as Down go in search of their first Ulster Under 21 Title since 2009.

As for the Minors, there was more than enough potential in last year's panel to at least get past Tyrone.  If we are going to play a similar brand of football that Mulholland is renowned for then I can't see this year being any different.  What ever happened to trying to win a game rather than trying not to lose it?  Our Minors have been piss poor for the last 3 or four years and it hasn't been because of the players.
