Was at the Down v Crossmaglen match last night in Newry

Good game of football and a good run out for both teams

Final Score was (Per my reckoning) Down 1-11 Crossmaglen 0-18

Cross were winning 0-12 to 0-01 at Half Time

How strong was the Down team?  0-18 against any team is pretty fine scoring, never mind a county team.  Who says we can't score big

I was speaking to one of the Cross players this morning who scored 2 pts, he said Down were at about 50% but even at that it is still a v good result. The problem with these games you don't really know how hard the opposition are trying

i can't understand why Down would want to play Cross in a friendly when Cross are at there peak. Getting beat by any club team would shatter confidence.

Plenty of people say we don't run up big scores, it is the common theme in many report.  Not that it matters

Never heard it said.

Don't let it take away from building that siege mentality though!

More than any other club in either code, Crossmaglen Rangers know how to win. It's what they do. They don't show off, they don't hammer teams, they don't (usually) run up large totals, they simply go on to the field, do their thing for an hour and walk off anything between one and four points the better team.

This is an extract from an article I read recently in the build up to th AI semi.  It sums up many people's attitude to Cross.  i don't necessarily disagree.

The "don't show off" thing is stupid, makes it out as that they could win close games by much more if they wanted too. They play to their best for the whole game, so it is off key. That said, I think they almost always hit 14/15 points every match with very few exceptions, which is very good at club level, so it is a misconception.

Well judging by the half time score in Newry you were about the same as the Down county team. You "decide" whether that is any consolation or not.

No, none whatsoever...
