Down 1991

The Boys in Red and Black are Back (Danny Doran)

The Red and Black 15 (Timmy Regan and Michael Durkin)
"We're going to win the Sam Magurire so dont stand in our way,
the men from Mourne are on the move to see their heros play
The Red and Black 15 me boys, will take the field again
This famous Down football machine we'll follow to the end"

There was another song released after the final, think it was "Back o'er the border comes the gallant boys of Down"

1994

Down Boys (Danny Doran)
" Down boys are on the march again
our hearts are full of fire
marching our way to victory
Sam Maguire is coming back again"

Come on Down (Justice)
"Come on Down
Here we go again
we'll win the Sam Maguire, you wait and see
And the Dublin fans will feel the pain
when they see our captain DJ Kane
holding off the Sam Maguire for Down"

Up Down (Brier)
"Up Down, we all go together
Up Down, in every type of weather
on the rocky road to Dublin, form the bottom to the top(?)
we all go together to lift the Sam Maguire Cup"

The Down Men's Trip to Dublin (Brier)
"It's the Down mens trip to Dublin
we're going to win the cup
we're going Down to Dublin
to bring Maguire up
We dont fear the opposition
we dont fear the Dubs
It's the Down men trip to Dublin once again"

I've got all these songs on cassette.  Wouldnt mind getting them onto CD some how, just for keep sake.

I'm surprised there havent been many Armagh and Tyrone posters commenting here.  Tyrone are always good for a song and sure Armagh (Justice) released a whole album about 2 years ago including the likes ofArmagh heroes, stevie from killeavy, come on Armagh, Sam Song and Armagh are the Champions

well done on a great piece of work. On seeing some of the jersies though, it makes you wonder about some of the "change" jersies that counties have but are consequently not worn.  Suppose who don't always know whhen you may need a change jersey as you can't predict who you will meet in the latter stages of league and championship.

Last year, around about the AIF time, I visited the Elvery's store at Croke Park.  Within the Mayo section they had four different kersies (green/red; red/green; white; grey).

Down would normally wear the Ulster colours (amber/black) as their change selection whichis normally a decent looking top.  However since reverting back to O'Neills, no change top has been produced.  Early on in the year for the Hurling League game against Cork, the Senior Hurlers ended up having to wear the old Gaelic Gear set.

i wouldnt say it's intimidating.  Boucher Road is grand as is Lisburn Road and that side of Tates Avenue.  WP is no worse than going to Shamrock Park, Mourneview Park, Coleraine Showgrounds just to name a few.  Celtic Park in Glasgow is more intimidating esp by Bridgeton Cross (on the London Road) and up by Loudens Tavern.

Drumaness has only played 16 games with 2 games still left to play for them, though it will make no difference.  Only caught on as they were down to play Ballykinlar this weekend which would have meant they would have been on having played 19 games when it is only a 18 game league.

Runners Up in the division?  Expect Aghadeg to achieve it.  They should win their remaining games in hand as well including their re-arranged fixture with st michael's.  This would leave both clubs on 26 points providing St Michaels beat Dromara tonight.  This will then set up a play-off to decide who goes up with Drumaness

Aghaderg 1.7 Drumaness 0.12

Is this the closest anyone has came to Drumaness this year?
Any one know when the rearranged st. michaels/aghaderg will be?  this was postponed on fri night.  Going to be the crunch game in the Division 4 to see who gets promoted alongside Drumaness.  St michaels currently in second but aghaderg are 4points behind with two games in hand
