Down GAA are delighted to be able to announce that both the Senior Football Team Manager James McCartan and the Senior Hurling Team Manager Gerard Monan have finalised their backroom teams as Down prepare for the 2013 season.
James will have once again Kilcoo man Jerome Johnston on board, Jerome has been a member of the backroom team since James took up the post in 2010 and is highly regarded for his knowledge of the game inside and outside of Down
Joining Jerome will be former Down All Ireland Medal winner of 1991 and 94 Eamon Burns who in the recent past has been in charge in Ballymartin, Darragh Cross and Bryansford and Eamon is looking forward to his first taste of Inter County Management.
The fourth member of the Management Team is Professor Niall Moyna of DCU. He was manager of the Irish U-17 International Rules team that toured Australia in 2006. In recent years he has managed the DCU senior football team to 3 Sigerson cups, 2 O'Byrne cups and a Ryan Cup. In addition, he was a selector on the St Vincent's team that won the All-Ireland club football championship in 2008, and has been part of the Dublin senior football backroom team that has won 3 Leinster senior football championships and the All-Ireland senior football title in 2011.
On the Hurling Front Gerard Monan will once again be joined by Martin McCusker from Ballela and Ballycran Clubman Stephen McAree with a new addition of Paul Flynn the former Waterford Hurler as Team Coach.
Paul Flynn the Ballygunner man has recently been Coach to the Carlow Senior hurling team and as a player won won three Munster winners' medals, one National League winners' medal and one All-Star award. Paul Flynn is Waterford's top championship scorer of all-time. The addition of Paul Flynn to the Management Team is an indication of Manager Gerard Monan's intent to improve the fortunes of Down hurling in 2013.

Mayobridge 1.14 Ballyholland 0.10
Downpatrick 1.6 Burren 0.8
What happened to the mighty Burren tonight?? Went to bridge game - dirty night for football. Can they not start the games at 6.45 at this stage - the evenings are really closing in....
It was closer to a Burren second string that they had out tonight. No Gerard McCartan, Dan McCartan, Donal O'Hare, Eoin McCartan, Declan Rooney or Anton McArdle to name but a few.
For me, Peter Turley was the man of the match at midfield.
