cant understand why loughinisland are at the bottom, i know they were missing a lot of players at the start of the league but most of the main players are back now which is no excuse.  There defence seems to be very suspect, they pass the ball at least 10 times before it passes the half way line.  A lot of big names in the side but they are not performing.  hope they stay up and draw a line in this season and comeback even stronger next season.

Ross Carr will name his side to take on Cavan on Saturday night through the Down GAA Website www.downgaa.net at 4.30pm today (Friday).

Ross Carr has named two changes to the side that took on Louth in Round two of the National Football League for the clash with Cavan.  Captain Dan Gordan returns to the side after injury and replaces Jackie Lynch in midfield, while Ballyholland Club man Ronan Murtagh comes in for Jamie O Reilly in the full forward line.

The Down Team is as follows: Brendan McVeigh, Ciaran McGovern, Paul Murphy, Luke Howard, Aidan Carr, Kevin McKernan, Conor Garvey, Dan Gordon (Captain), Stephen Kearne, Brendan McArdle, Conor Maginn, John Fegan, Ronan Murtagh, Daniel Hughes, Brendan Coulter.

Down Cavan game has a 7.30pm start in Pairc Esler Newry.

any word on who will get picked for the powerade team from last years championship.  when will this team be announced?

I think Ross should look for another number 2. think dj is not the man, his actions along the line on thursday night were disgracefull, the days of shouting and screaming at players ie (bully type tatics) are gone, todays players like the arm round the shoulder, telling them what is going wrong and how to put it right.
