Well done Down U17s. Good gutsy performance and a win over Armagh today.
Entertaining game with quite a few outstanding performances.
Have showed steady progress through the Ulster League.
Maybe there is a future for Down football after all.

That reply shows the old East Down chip on the shoulder attitude.Does it really matter where people
are from?

Your right Ross , doesn't matter where the manager comes from as long as the squad is a fair representation of the best talent in Down, that I doubt as i know there are players who would make this squad from east down and have been overlooked, which doesn't make sense.
Secondly , as long as he is the best coach around, I'm told his coaching skills are not in question but his antics along the sideline are, I think if he is to be a future manager for Down his management team would need to contain a couple of seasoned football campaigners who could rein him in.

Will all games go ahead tonight??
A lot of rain about this morning

And last year's team with a South Down manager had South Down players that were overlooked that should have been starting or on the panel. Just because players from a certain part of the county are overlooked does not mean that there is a bias.
