Down Club Hurling & Football

[Truth hurts]

Bredagh are flying at football this year, top of division 2, competing well in U17 div 1 and the only team to beat table-toppers Newry Bosco. In u15 they sit top of the league with the Feile banked. At u13s they field two teams with the A's competing well in div 1 and B team are top of division 3.
At U11 they field 4 teams in East Down A, B, C, D.

It's a fantastic story and this will only benefit Down football.

And so they should be - Bredagh & Carryduff must have the largest pickings and memberships in the country

Considering their record it might not be a bad thing.

All their success at senior level has been with outside managers & coaches?
There's been a few club men in the background but not many & not many Kilcoo men have coached  outside their club.

Was Jerome Johnson not with Loughinisland a while back?

Yes and he's currently coaching Ballybay in Monaghan

Still needs the work put in.

You definitely need to work hard at it so credit to them in an area that is not so called GAA country.

With the price of everything rocketing I am urging the county executive to keep the club championship games at £5 per adult until the quarter-finals of the championship. It would ensure massive crowds!

Inflating the price just turns people to Pairc tv

Have you spoken to your Club delagte to pass that suggestion on or have you been speaking directly
to a Suit?

Has James been reinstated for another year?? Heard today he has to reinvigorate his back room team but is back on board for another year at least?

Yes I wrote this 2 days ago and this was from a person who is close to the top brass in the county.
Bigger coaches coming.

Bigger names or physically bigger?

Not sure there are many bigger names in coaching than Aidan O'Rourke?

[Mourne Red]

Only bigger coaches coming in to help James is Eamonn Rooneys finest

Down better going with 30 players who want to play for Down and not disappear to America, Australia or drop if the panel. Derry went through 107 players in less than 10yrs, it was a joke. Down beat Derry in Newry 2yrs ago. Gallagher got rid of maybe 8/10 players I have thought good enough to start / on the panel. Due to either attitude or couldn't commit. Down gonna go the same way. Derry keep Slaughtneil on board to backbone the team, Kilcoo seem to they too good for the county team.

I think we're all up for building for the future but if we look back at the most recent plan prior to this,we know the results of that by our current situation.Who was in charge of implementing that and who is in charge of bringing this latest idea to fruition?The answer to this is critical as to the prospects of this plan succeeding.

Can't get my head around James and Co. staying on.Dressing room has long been lost and will probably not be got back.Just leave and let's have a clean sweep of the whole set-up.

[Johnnysboys]

Is it not the right thing to do to keep him involved?? Who else is going to take the role or indeed do any better? Take the current u20 setup in with him this year and it's a smooth transition next year for Laverty to take the post.

Completely agree . A waste of a year if true

Laverty holding on for the Kilcoo job.. He'll not be Down manager in 2024
