Down Club Hurling & Football

[johnnycool]

I would guess the football manager would have wanted a commitment from the team to fully focus on football so that liatriom could best realise their potential in the higher league and senior championship but they also have a strong hurling team with a potential to win something.....

More or less, had a meeting with the hurling manager who apparently was quite accommodating but he wasn't happy with the outcome so he walked.

I heard that a few dual players were not committing to football.

I can't see how Monday night hurling would be much of a drain on the dual players and senior hurling only really kicks off in late August, September time..

Well done St Malachy's castlewellan on winning the Markey cup today. A Hard fought but deserved 2 point win over Strabane. There is some good talent on this team.

Hearing rumours that Stevie Poacher is in discussions with Liverpool.

Down GAA might have missed out on their man!

Was at this game and found it a great watch. Both teams had a cracking corner forward. Castlewellan just about edged it.

Thought Down PRO had got slightly better last season, most teams named by Friday evening, but back to the usual this year. Miles behind other county's in term of their social media. Must have zero intention in getting the younger generation in interested in the county teams.

PRO team is a shambles and how they won an award a while back is beyond me.. but then they can only post what they are given/allowed to post. Laverty has the county board by the short and curlys and just does what he wants. Donnelly doing most correspondence in national papers, Morgan in local papers - will the REAL manager that is getting paid a bagful please stand up.

They haven't posted anything in twitter on 3days, no promotion of the game on Sunday, no mention of St Mals winning or Knock reaching the final of their competition.. that's nothing to do with Laverty, its the PRO. embarrassing at this point.

We have 2 tough away games v Westmeath and Antrim. I was at both games in Newry last year and we were fortunate to pick up 2 points in both games.

Some very needy people on here.

If soccer people can put up with cup final teams not being named until an hour before the game, surely to f**k nobody needs to see a pretend team for a GAA national league game, two days before throw in.

This is just needy nonsense.

lol they haven't even a link put to buy tickets for the game. There is little effort to promote the sport and the hurlers gets even less. Its a shambles.

If you need the county board to provide you with a link to buy tickets then you wouldn't be travelling  to Aughrim anyway. Any regular knows where to get their ticket.
As for team announcements, does it matter when they come out? They never get in the programme anyway.

[ardtole]

I can't remember the last time I bought a programme, they are a waste of time usually.

Yes. I would agree. You have the team on your phone.
