Down Club Hurling & Football

[Mourne Red]

You would have thought Sean og could have got the field covered for the night 😠

with what?

Electric Blankets with the profits from charging u16s in......

[Lazer]

Down gaa a joke, why was the game not put off at 1pm when they New the field was frozen.
As for the clowns at the gate trying to pull the money off the gateman, wise up what was he to do can't start handing money out, free admission to the next game is only possible solution

Nope - consumer regulations would probably disagree - you paid into a match for a certain time and date and it didn't go ahead, therefore should be a full refund if wanted.

I was going to travel up from Derry for the match. glad I didn't now!!

No spectators should be allowed into the grounds until it is certain the match is going ahead, then there would be no issue with refunds.

Yes, late cancellations have been happening for years, doesn't make it right. The decision should be made before supporters would reasonably set out to travel (There no later than 1 hour before for a Down vs UU game, and no later than 2 hours before for a Derry Armagh game).

I remember years ago travelling to a Down Donegal McKenna cup game, and it was meant to be Ballybofey, but was moved to Bundoran, and this was in the days before social media, and therefore we missed the match, despite the long journey to travel for it!

What happens to those who can't make the next match or 're fixture??  Where there many in attendance?

[Smurfy123]

Not really much can be done snoopdog?
Is there anyway around getting money back to them?
Just probably a mattter of cutting your loses and moving on

[Lecale Gael]

More importantly, are the tickets bought for the half time draw still valid!!?

Fair enough

[SHEEDY]

Down beaten by a point by Derry, 1-14 to 2-10. Derry get a goal in the last minute to win it after Down had led for the whole match.

and Derry down to 14 men....

[Mourne Red]

Many clubs started back training yet?

[Bigben36]

I see Dundrum are still on the look out for a manager. Bit late in the day for that!!!

Are most clubs sorted for managers yet? Any new appointments?

[downjim]

It took Hilltown along time to get a manager. It was looking like the first two into Lowry's on Friday could have got the job.

[Targetman]

Whose managing Clonduff ?

[Lecale Gael]

Duck Bell taking Teconnaught

[Ed Hardy]

Hard to believe its nearly National league time already. Be great to start off with win next Sunday against  Louth, given its Cork the next game. Will Mooney, Darren O Hagan or Ryan Johnson be back for this game? Anyone hazard a guess at starting 15?

need to get off to a win next sunday if we dont want to involved in a relegation scrap. With only 3 home games every point will be vital. for the starting 15 i'll take a guess at:

S harrison

K quinn
G mcgovern
B mcardle

D o'hanlon
N mcparland
C mooney

C poland
K mckernan

S millar
C maginn
A morgan

B o'hagan
C harrison
S dornan

Niall madine, ryan johnson and darren o hagan are all possible starters if fit along with ronan millar and anthony doherty who both showed up well in the mckenna cup.
