Down Club Hurling & Football

[Hard2Listen2]

the u20 competition is turning into a farce

good appointment with Mickey Donnelly coming in, I am excited as a Down supporter for the coming year. We have the right men in our set ups and we have a lot to look forward to.
Lavo, Marty, Donnelly, Benny, Darren and Donal know what it takes o be a county player.

Describe how it is a good appointment? You must not venture further than those local cafes you get your misinformation from. Donnelly was with Tyrone club Ardboe for 3 seasons and couldn't even win one senior championship match. He cost the club a lot of money along with his in-house backroom team who were also getting paid, Ardboe relieved to get rid of them all. I wouldn't be getting too excited, he was at least the sixth man approached and took a lot of convincing.

Mickey got Ardboe to county final and were only beat by a penalty in last kick of the game, so at least when you are running the man down get your facts right.
A very good appointment for Down.

Excellent addition to the set up.
Brings a ton of experience.

I'd be very surprised if the 20th ranked team in any sport have ever got their first or second choice personnel.

Mickey Donnelly would seem very well thought of amongst players, he has heaps of experience and he's familiar with Down football. I don't see any downsides here myself.

Sure that was 13 years ago. Returned to Ardboe 2 years ago and didn't win a championship game in that time. Ardboe's gain that he has moved on.

McAleenan took Warrenpoint to a senior final playing a great brand of football yet you still are spiteful.

Great brand of football my ass. We were still beaten in that final don't forget. At the end of the day all anyone is concerned about is silverware. Yet again he has failed to deliver yesterday.

I was talking to someone who attended the Under 14 Girls County Finals on Saturday in Hilltown
Apparently the referee had to be locked in his dressing room for at least 30 mins after the game
Any truth in this story?

A very solid appointment, Down has a strong setup and we need to all get behind them. Far play to the county board.

I rate niall mc aleenan. I was very impressed with him when he was at the point. He has done well with cranemore but I dont think they were simply not ready to win armagh yet. I think he has potential to be a future Down manager. I am not sure about mickey Donnelly but he has experience in the game and has good knowledge of the setup of the top team in ulster tyrone so that can only help our setup.

Going by the website there was two lgfa finals, a u14 div E Tullyish hammered Drumgath

The u14 b final st Johns beat Bosco by two points

Both officals were from the Kilcoo club

it was after the B final, disgraceful treatment of the referee. The person involved would be well enough known in the county and should be banned from mentoring any team again

A quick nosey on facebook would tell you that the only male mentor for Newry Bosco is a referee himself?

Someone told me that the male mentor from Bosco is an Ulster Referee so you would think he should know better given the campaign recently about respecting referees.

[terrifictommy]

Is there a sanction that can ban for life?
If it is who I've seen mentioned then that just is unbelievable

[SHEEDY]

2 Clonduff officials had to escort the ref to his car and drive behind him to the road while Bosco man was still in the car park despite the fact Bosco players had left. Trying to excuse does nobody any favours.
