HT Tyrone 0.05 Down 1.05 according to latest scores on GAA Discussion

Big game tonight for our U-21's v Tyrone in U21 championship.  We are big underdogs, but then again we were not fancied two years ago, but thanks to Michael Magee's fantastic goal 10 mins from time we beat Tyrone and progressed all the way to an All-Ireland Final.  Good luck, Down.

Reading down through that list of great clubs certainly brought back a few fond memories.  Great clubs, great players...that'd be a good one - a compilation of the best 25 club players in All-Ireland Club championship.

Let's hope Brendan McVeigh's injury is not as bed as feared.  Murdock done well when he came on.  One super save.  Maybe a bit of work to be done on his kickouts but for a debut he can be well pleased.

However I've been a bit surprised that Declan Alder is not the sub keeper.  Is he still part of the panel?  Going back to his U21 days, and since, I've always been impressed with him.  Who knows, there could be a right battle for the No.1 jersey now.

Good team performance and important win tonight.  Another win guarantees safety.  A real method in our play and a purpose with each pass.  Had Down taken half their chances the win would have been much easier.

Championship will be tougher.  In the Athletic Grounds and with Jamie Clarke up front everything does not have to go through Stevie.
