Paul its not that I don't think they wont be out to win, its more that losing league games in April and May wont be the end of the world for them. Winning another league at this stage wont be the be all and end all for them imo.
They will be developing their training programme to peak in August and if this means heavy training sessions two nights before a league game then so be it. They will also use the league to develop new players, try players in new positions and perfect their system of play for late summer. Compare this to Burren who played free flowing football from the start last year and skittled teams in the league and then ended up playing an extra man back for the first time in the championship reply against Kilcoo!!!
Its not an insult to Kilcoo, they know what their priorities are and they will stick to it. Even with doing all of the above they may still contend for the league given the lack of quality around but are unlikely to be in the top 2/3.
I expect Dawson to have the bridge flying fit and raring to go and with no county players they should be in a position to hit the ground running although player for player they are still the 3rd/4th best team in Down at best.

Clonduff and Downpatrick are likely to stay up. Better bets to be involved would be Ballyholland, Saval and Rostrevor.

I doubt the bridge give a fiddlers about the league at this stage of the season in fairness.

well said DF fundraising is a massive part of local gaa. it takes a lot of unnoticed hard work to build up funds in order to develop grounds and changing facilities. a lot of people want everything but are not willing to put in the hard work. the reason "the big clubs" have good facilities is that they have people driving the fund raising within their own clubs. use kilcoo as an example for the 2nd pitch that the now have, no one handed that to them. they organised events and draws and whatever else to gather up the money to pay for it. its not easy but it can be done!!
From my experiences Down CB can assist you in filling in applications for grants from various government bodies, but as Down CB themselves haven't the nails to scratch their own arse, I can't see them giving any clubs money, big or small.
Some clubs you would look at having great facilities, but then you hear the horror stories of the dept they're having to service on a monthly basis would scare you.
What sort of size of membership would Glen have anyway?

Having a go at a club for having poor facilities. What a f**king snob.
LOL thanks for that, not having a go at the poor facilities merely acknowledging more of the posts from earlier. More of having a go at the county board who could maybe step in and help them out with facilities who I know have helped other clubs who pushed for it.

I don't know the reason behind the decision but there's no malice intended to the other teams fighting for Div1 status. In contrast everyone has an opinion now, no one bothered when Ballyholland called game off at 1730, was I not told 'It's none of your business'. So let's see where the real problems lie within this county and the short term memories.

What was the reasoning behind Annaclone not fielding? Not very sportsmanlike for teams in the bottom half
