Down Club Hurling & Football

[Square Ball]

Would it not be possible to get these games on DVD, surely there is a market for games such as these?

Did a member of this board (Kerry Mike?) start a place that transferred film to DVD or something like that?

[amallon]

U21's - Down 1-10 Tyrone 0-7.  I wasn't at it but the scoreline suggests a good Down win.

[Caitlin]

Anyone at the U21 game ? Big result , there was nothing between these teams when we had the Magpie MC- in some ways, this is even more significant than the Mc Kenna Cup and Sligo wins .

[Our Nail Loney]

Any word who scored or played well for the u21s?

[Mourne Rover]

Calm down Caitlin, this was an U21 friendly. Beating a Tyrone side is always good news, but let's wait until we do it in a serious match. While Colgan's injury time goal with the same group of players in the rain at Omagh in the minor first round of 2005 was probably Down's best moment this century so far, we have managed one provincial U21 title in the last 20 years and we usually go out in the first round. Losing Clarke, and also big Fitzpatrick, who was MoM in the 2005 minor AI final, means we are up against it this year,but you never know...

[bridgegael]

was at the u21 match last night, game got off to a slow start, down stepped it up a gear, ciaran brannigan in corner forward was flying, think he ended up with 1-06, big magee saw a lot of the ball when they moved him out to centre half forward, conor garvey lined out at 10 but think he played as extra defender.  colgan and mckernan did ok in midfield, tyrone won alot of break ball though. defence play well, hugh magee in particular at full back.  of the subs that came i thought joseph murphy and seamy grant stood out, both came on to wing back.

[whyarerefssobad]

where is joseph murphy from

[bridgegael]

ballyholland......i think

[amallon]

Ballyholland.... You know! 

[spiritof91and94]

Ciaran Brannigan got 1.06, he arrived at our Dinner Dance after the game and was well happy, picking up Under 21 player of the year rounded off a good day for him.
Did McComiskey play?
Ciaran said Tyrone were full strength.

[5 Sams]

where is joseph murphy from

Joe is Paul Murphy's younger brother.....keep an eye on him...he's an outstanding prospect.

[Maiden1]

Does anyone know any results from the ulster league at the weekend?

[Leo]

was at the u21 match last night, game got off to a slow start, down stepped it up a gear, ciaran brannigan in corner forward was flying, think he ended up with 1-06, big magee saw a lot of the ball when they moved him out to centre half forward, conor garvey lined out at 10 but think he played as extra defender.  colgan and mckernan did ok in midfield, tyrone won alot of break ball though. defence play well, hugh magee in particular at full back.  of the subs that came i thought joseph murphy and seamy grant stood out, both came on to wing back.

Fair enough assessment although felt that midfield really only competed when Magee was in close to that area. Terrible tendancy to narrow the pitch when with the likes of Brannigan we should be stretching the lines. At times looked like a bunch of U12's all crammed into tight area. Murney looked good at half back and this line was well improved when Seamie Grant came on but he was flying a bit close to the fire on a couple of occasions and maybe lucky to stay on. Agree also with Magee's performance at full back. Deficitley plenty of stuff there for the future but Tyrone hit some awful wides.

DownredandBlack - Did that crowd you emailed about old copies of Down games ever come back to you?  Really after the 68 NFL final v Kildare, 83 NFL Final v Armagh and the 68 AI Semi v Galway.  I'm nearly there with my collection thanks to Lecale.  I contacted the RTE Archive through their website to see what they can do.  I'll hear from them within 7 days and will let you know the craic.

No Luck amallon , They said they had AI finals going back to 1970 ( I think ) . They suggested the RTE archives but thought it would be expensive .
