Down Club Hurling & Football

[Mourne Rover]

Given that Fermanagh had a new manager, and sent out a pretty strong line-up, winning away by double scores, 1-11 to 0-7, was a decent result. Sounds like Liam Kerr was the start of the show. A win against Antrim in the next match will take us through to the McKenna semis for the first time in ages.

Don't want to rain on your parade but Fermanagh had a very experimental side out today.
5 or 6 players tops who would have been starting last year .
McGrath, Jones brother's, Breen , Eoin Donnelly and Declan McCusker . 

[Mourne Rover]

It's effectively a pre-season friendly so no one will be too exercised by the result. However, Fermanagh had six players from the county champions Derrygonnelly in their squad as well as established players like McGrath, Cassidy, McCusker, Breen and Donnelly starting. Corrigan was also named but dropped out so, by McKenna Cup standards, it was a reasonable line-up. Down had a few new faces, and will probably make further changes for the Antrim game, but it is very early days for both sides.

Mourne, outside of the two Jones lads from Derrygonnelly, the rest of them Derrygonnelly lads have been nowhere near the Fermanagh line up for the past few years.
We had a very inexperienced forward line  and our full back was from Clones however that works.
As you said early days but Down impressed me. Seemed to be full of running and looked fresh.

[Don Johnson]

Anyone hear any news about Mooney?

[Targetman]

Apparently he was the victim of a serious assault in Newry last night

[Ed Hardy]

Very sad news that, some tramps about, fingers crossed he makes a quick recovery. I see he has new business venture just starting up, hopefully it wont be badly effective either.

This is awful. When will people realise that just one punch can kill?

[shantygael]

There is a video going around of it.lucky he's still living. Get well soon lad.

[imtommygunn]

That boy won't be going back to Australia. Glad Mooney seems ok anyway.

[Champion The Wonder Horse]

Video is shocking.

Best wishes to him.

But there's something wrong when somebody is standing videoing that, then sharing it.

Is this the video where someone is picked up and thrown to the ground landing head first?

[Targetman]

The video doing the rounds is feck all to do with the assault on Mooney!!
