Fair play. Shame what's happened to Down. I used to enjoy the old Down/Armagh rivalry back in the day.

Cant help thinking that if this is for helping the future generation why is it being rushed with so many meetings over the space of a few weeks.

Surely one of the main things would be for ex and current county players to provide coaching for the school kids and the underages in all clubs.
While some do this only a handful of clubs have county players. Clubs like Aghaderg or Clann Na Banna how far back would they need to go to have a well known County footballer from their club coach the young players.
Get the kids hooked young enough by getting them regular coaching from county stars/heroes and they will stay with the association.

Im not sure if this has been answered before but has anyone any further information on this process?
What were the conclusions and findings, was there a strategy or plan drawn up for coming years, and who are the personnel and their backgrounds involved with the development of our future senior footballers?
Was anything ever published by the county board or is there somewhere online to view more about this?

I happened upon a copy of the plan idling on a coffee table in the canal court one afternoon. It ran to one half page of about 8 lines of text. The key conclusion and action point was:

"Wait till 2016 for Martin Clarke return"
