Just to be pedantic lads, Down definitely won 1-14 to 1-13

You were never the finesse man my friend, but those talents of yours would be very handy I'd say!

Well BC!
Hearty was excellent, saved four 1 on 1s.
Full back line got cleaned in my opinion esp Skinny
Half back line just ok
Midfield did well
Franny came good in 2nd half
Jamie + Kyle top top quality
Stephen K kicked 2 or 3 excellent points

I fancy Cross for whole thing - have done since St Galls game but that defence needs tightened, Down got in behind way too easily.

Garvey did full session on back pitch with Tally + 12 others

Both defences got cleaned out by the forwards on show.
Down still needs lads back or need to go deeper into the well!
No M Clarke, otherwise Down v strong.
Cross didn't play Oisin, John Mac or Francie
J Clarke is a joy to watch, and Kyle Carragher was excellent!

Daniel suspected broken hand
Duffin suspected broken arm
Turns out a disastrous friendly!

Down beating Cross 1-8 to 0-10 with 15 to go in Burren - had to leave early

Down team that started:
Brendy, Bonny, Dan, Daniel,Brannigan, Doyler, Duffin
Magee + Kalum
Maginn, Carr, Benny, John Clarke, Murtagh, MPoland

Murdock for Carr
McCartan for Daniel
McConville for Magee

PJ Magee in at Saval
DJ back at Shamrocks

Glen was def not the number 2
He was the manager + he isn't staying on next year

You mean Glenn Elmore has? Glenn was the main man was he not

Thanks Fitz, appreciate that

Banker Johnson is neither gifted or smart on the ball. I agree with Wobbler - he looks to have the physical tools ie tall + rangy.
If he adds some bulk he will be one to look at. I would say he has a chance longer term as a full back.

Saw him 2 yrs ago as a cub give Rony Murtagh all he wanted in a club champ'ship game when Tullylish were a div3 side.
I saw him last Sunday get taken off in a releg playoff game + thought he was brutal.
Altho he may have been injured (didn't look it tho)

Anyone know when it starts next year?

Some posters on here haven't a clue. This is an exercise to keep clubs happy.
There is no way some of these boys are county material; and to highlight that James keep some of last years panel involved so that the real difference in quality can be highlighted.
The young lads can see the gap they have to work to close + the dross mainly for div 3 + 4 get a day out

Who is niall donnelly?
Was at tullylish game today - what number did he play
