Given the amount of training they are undertaking, Dundrum will be in good shape for the upcoming season. If you aren't working out or lifting weights right now, you'll probably fall behind. Senior clubs now have higher training standards than counties had at the turn of the century. Can it go any further?

Do Dundrum have a large influx of young talent coming through? I believe a few of their elder statesmen have retired, not sure how big a squad they would have to cope with that.


Not really; fair play for the golden generation for sticking with it. Dundrum and Ballykinlar need  to amalgamate and reform under a Tyrella umbrella, there is a big catchment .

Have a 3 first team ready players coming through Harty, Boden and Cory Trainer.. All 3 been involved in Down Teams not sure if they are of age to play senior yet not 100% sure on there ages but know they are around minor/senior. Then if they can get buy in there are some good young players who stepped away at that 16-18 gap should do well if they can get those back.

Yes, they are capable, but can they take the place of players like Walshy, Cormac, and those lads who have achieved so much at the junior level this century?

Well there's no replacing Walshy if he's definitely retired.. Always seemed to find time on the ball and wand of a left foot. Hurley would be a big miss too if he's hung up the boots. Boden and Corey could replace V up front with the pace youngsters have but obviously experience is what they won't have. But that's where the likes of Aidy Fegan, Odhran McKibben, Thomas McShane will fill in hopefully. They've been around for 6-8 years now so have that experience in them.

Walshy has been a great servant. One of the greatest players to don the jersey.
If so, what have you heard about the Fin in Town. Garland and a few others are reportedly looking out. Could Dundrum acquire some of them?

Chatting to a couple of boys from the Finn last week and there's a few that are a bit bored/tired out but it's the bigger brother that's in the ear of a few of them (Castlewellan) to come play for them and the better players would probably plump for there. But the blood wouldn't be as bad between Dundrum and the Finn post there re-emergence.. Rice, Willoughby and Doran transferred over and won Div 4 and JFC with Dundrum so possibility they could get a few if Finn go ascew this year.

But tbh Gerard Lnaghan done a hell of a job there so would be putting up a fight if anyone wanted to transfer out lol Also it's only December, couple of months stuck in the house with family/other half's  a lot of boys would change there mind and be busting to get out training again 😅

Aren't we blessed to have a such know all in our midst who posts so frequently during the day and has an opinion on every single aspect of Down football from underage structures, an authority on all Down clubs and what they are doing, schools both primary and secondary, cocaine, some hair brained amalgamation scheme, I could go on but I'm getting bored. And he speaks with such an opinion with apparently some knowledge on these and many other matters but I tell you what, he talks some shite. It's not the Wobbler either.

He's an authority on East Down eateries too.

Claims to be from a struggling club (disgraceful that it's been allowed to go that way) but never mentions it in his posts.

Have the Allianz div 3 league games for 2023 been approved yet? I've checked online and all I can find is our round 5 game is v Cavan.

If this competition is to start next month surely there must be a fixture list approved.

I can find provisional fixtures for div 1&2, but not for div 3.

It's the typical gaa way. They don't care about the lower ranked counties. They still don't get that the GAA people of Down or sligo or longford should be given the same respect as a Kerry or Dublin. But they have not grasped that.

The gaa haven't released any fixtures so it's nothing to do with lower ranked counties.
