Down Club Hurling & Football

Still don't see how it's fair that U21 teams can transfer players in for a championship campaign

If their own club doesn't field in the competition , the player is able to get a sanction to play elsewhere . Max.no. allowed is 5 afaik

Surely it's fairer than the only way you can play in an u20 competition is to be from a big club.

Who beat you yesterday then??
Btw who are poaching players??

See young McGovern from Ballyholland signed new contract with Newry City. Hopefully that doesnt stop him playing football with Down in few years, looked some prospect anytime Ive seen him play.

You did say the contract is with Newry City and not Real Madrid?  Wise up FFS

Why? Surely likes of John Boyle  would have played more seasons with Down only for his soccer career.

Yes.... Smither too only played a few National,league games for Down because of his soccer career definitely would have had a big County career only for the soccer

Yes so many Gaelic careers being spoilt by backward managers.Let's hope John McGovern is facilitated to do both.He is too good a player to miss out on ,County Minor captain and potential attack leader on Senior County side.
Potentially if James is involved with seniors again soon he will work with him.James understands from his own experience in Irish League football and knows it can be done.You're right on about Smither but with Darren at Newry he'll work well for Harps and John.From talking to a few Harps men on a trip recently all are delighted for him.
Surprise victory though the other day for Shamrocks v Harps in U21s but the East South gap was highlighted in Burren v Castlewellan game , Castlewellan didn't even score !I know Burren are a special side but to hold a team scoreless is some feat.More silverware going to Burren in this competition.

Yewtree is back banging the same old drum, apparently Burren goalkeeper had a great game but still a terrible result for the town, interesting to see if Carryduff will match the mighty Burren, did you get over the Kilcoo result but now I think your a Burren lad and not one from the point

[PTC]

I see south down select did very well in their first game in the Paul mcgirr tournament, they must be strong favourites to win it

I think the problem isn't an east v south thing (stupid argument anyway). It seems to be a town issue - Newry is in same boat as Castlewellan - Downpatrick not far behind.

Good to see Bredagh and Carryduff bucking the trend.

And you're right about Burren v Carryduff - will be a close game - think predicting a Burren u21 championship win was a tad premature.

Yes a very comprehensive win v Rossa Magherafelt with their best wishes afterwards.Burren have built a great relationship with them over Feiles and games.Couldn't get over how commanding Burren were.The work being done in Burren is unrivalled and not one parent managing a team.But next a hard game up now v Gaoith Dobhair.
In the U21s Burren have a home game v League of Nations Carryduff with the usual arrival of Range Rover 4 by 4s and Mercedes and posh wealthy boys from The East - this time expect a battle and a 6 point Burren win.
In the other game Point will have too much for a resurgent Shamrocks but can't see past a Burren title.Wonder why Kilcoo haven't entered and let's hope Magherafelt Rossa hammer them.

The words of a very sad individual.  Sink your keyboard boot into every club you can.

think magherafelt will be kilcoos toughest game this year. Kilcoo would find it hard for numbers for under21s with minors and seniors still going.

You are as your name suggest poisonous

[Cuan12]

Yewtree, you are as predictable as rain, Carryduff will beat Burren , can't see how they are a League of Nations , but your prediction will go the same way as the point winning the SFfC

[Last Caress]

Think I'll go to game in newry tomorrow. Magherfelt having nothing to lose, so lets hope for a tight game.  Pressure is on kilcoo. Gonna say kilcoo win by 1.
