[cokers]

First time on the board this week. Congrats to both county champions and thanks to umpire for his sterling work with the prediction league!

Lads just a quick question. I was flicking through pictures from the county final and thought i say building work going on at Pairc Esler?
Is this the case?
I wasnt aware of any new work being done on the ground.

The stand is being extended up towards the changing room end and the changing rooms are being redeveloped also. Good job !

New Down Minor management being appointed tonight at county board meeting.

Just on the county finals. It was odd to see that the two winning team captains weren't originally from their winning clubs. McCartan was a Rostrevor man and McAreavey was an Aghaderg man.

Aghaderg had three former players playing in the IFC Final.

Would Aghaderg be affected by this research project being undertaken which is being discussed on the GAA discussion section?

[the derg]

all 3 players had county experience if those 3 along with marty burns and the legend dan strain and brendan (drumgath) chris mcgovern (tullylish) colm and martin farrell (annaclone) had stayed we would be in div 2 however for various reasons all decided to go. i know we can argue that the derg had no ambition or is a dual club etc but surley aghaderg was good enough for all up until 18 plus then up and away such a pity.
