After yesterday's game I think the main worry is the inability to pass a ball accurately. We kicked away a lot of possession. That is nothing to do with talent, height, experience or any of the things we may not be blessed with. Even club players are expected to be able to pass a ball 20 yards accurately.

Apart from that, our midfield presence is very worrying and the inability to prevent teams coming right through the middle of our defence. We need a strong No.6 to hold that area.

I personally didn't think that lack of height held our full forward line back at all. Thought they were our best unit. Big Turley did a great job of holding midfield together more-or-less by himself. I cannot understand why big Arthur is not given a start. Packie Downey deserves a shot at midfield although Ryan Mallon should really be given first call against Westmeath due to his experience.

Ryan Boyle is a very good attacking half back but he is no corner back and should not have been played there. having said that he should at least have tried to get closer to his man. I would like to see big Arthur in at half forward, Devlin move up and O'Hanlon drop back, three from McKernan, Garvey, O'Hanlon, Boyle, and O'Hagan at half back, Mallon or Downey into midfield,

                     Kane

Howard - D Turley - Collins

McKernan - Garvey - O'Hanlon/Boyle/O'Hagan

  Downey/Mallon - P Turley

McConville - Poland - Devlin

Laverty - McGarry - O'Hare

I must admit I don't know if D Turley is the right man for fullback but don't see any obvious contender. But on recent showing he is big, strong but not adept enough for corner back.


I do not agree with that team to be totally honest. I think that conor garvey is the best full back we have. I also think peter fitzpatrick needs to be in the middle along with mooney coming in instead of mcconville. Also, mcgarry never proved himself last in divison 2 also he didnt perform to standard on sunday! jerome johnson into the full forward line.

Jesus effing christ. It was the lads debut ffs. You expect 2-10 out of him or something? Muppet

Are the expletives necessary?

You get more from making polite points than swearing but at least Our-Fella was making a valid case. Ross did well for a debut and for me never wasted possession which is more than can be said for a lot of our players. His only error was a missed point attempt but that was hardly a crime. He played a lot better than Jerome did when he came on (and I am a huge fan of Jerome). But what part of his performance was not up to standard?

As for the comment that he never proved himself in division 2!!!!! Are you for real?

Think he's trying to say that playing division 2 last year Ross hasn't proved himself as good enough for county standard boss. Hard to disagree because any wise man knows division 2 is a poor standard as is intermediate football.

Any word of a team for tonight?  I mean, I'm sure it is picked (unless they are going to pick it on the bus on the way up!!!!!) so how hard would it be to announce it?  The Down Way!

Derry have alot of absentees so I would be expecting a win tonight.

Under 21st well beat tonight. Don't live in County anymore so not sure what was expected of this squad. But it's over for another year at this level

Smurfy123

Can anyone post a team for tonight's under 21 game.All other county's in iIreland seem to release a team with the exception of Down.Why is this?A Derry team missing 8 regulars and we still can't beat them.The question has to be asked why more Warrenpoint lads didn't make the team!!!!!

Leftmidfield

2 point players Aaron Magee  and Cormac McCartan. Donagh McAleenan not fit due to broken finger.
Would still like to know the line-out tonight and the score

Shocking low representation from South Down clubs in there.
Not often you see county side with little or nobody from Mayobridge, Clonduff, Rostrevor, Burren on it.
Maybe this is the way things are going. Is the talent all residing in East Down now?

A Final of 2014 was Warrenpoint v Burren
B Final of 2014 was Rostrevor v Carryduff

3 out of 4 finalists from South Down
