Down Club Hurling & Football

[EagleLord]

This team were beaten by Mayobridge at minor level after a 2nd replay so i think given our injury list iits correct to install the Bridge as favourates...

Lets hope we get treated to a similar feast of football like that series of games. It was unreal! Would be unfair to be wanting 3 games from these lads at this time of year, but lets be selfish! 

[knockitdown]

lads, perhaps a little early, but have there been any managerial casualties yet? or new appointments?

McComiskey gone to St Galls?

Does anyone have the official squad list for the 2012 Dr Kenna Cup?

[PAULD123]

Down (Dr McKenna Cup squad):
Brendan McVeigh, Damian Turley, Daniel McCartan,
Dan Gordon, Daniel McCartan, Niall Brannigan,
Kevin Duffin, Conor Garvey, Brendan McArdle,
Mark Doran, Darren O'Hagan, Peter Turley,
Conor Gough, Kalum King, Ambrose Rogers,
Aidan Carr, Daniel Hughes, Niall McParland,
Arthur McConville, Benny Coulter, Conor Laverty,
Eoin McCartan, Paul McComiskey, Marcus Miskelly.

I am a bit disappointed Phillip Bonny isn't there, thought he showed well last year. No sign of the Aiden Brannigan, Polands, Liam Doyle or McGinn. Are they injured or just being rested? Also several defenders missing, Rafferty and McKernan are fit so I guess they are being rested, I don't think Rooney is fit is he?

is bonny not  in australia?

[EagleLord]

McComiskey gone to St Galls?

Really?

Interesting.

Either Dan McCartan is that vital that he has to be mentioned twice or one of those should have been Gerrard!!

If Bonny isnt in Australia I would be a bit disappointed myself.  Glad Pete Turley getting another look.

Anton McArdle must be with UUJ as well as Jamie O'Reilly with Queens.  Average enough looking panel but sure McKenna cup is about giving boys a chance.

So I am lead to believe! Was wondering if anyone else knew much about it?

Any other players that will be playing for the uni. teams?

Thats the first ive heard of it! Apart fro mthe debate we had hear about it a while back! Where's Dundrumite? He will obviously know!

[DaisyCutter]

Yes, Bonny is definitely in Austrailia. He left shortly after Bryansfords defeat to Kilcoo in this years Senior Championship. I would safely say that McKernan, Rooney, Rafferty, Doyle and Brannigan are all being rested for the National League.

I see from the squad in today's Irish News that wee James has only named on keeper on the panel for some reason?? Can any posters inform me to why this would be? Also would there be any other player who should have got a go at the McKenna Cup? Let's face it, it's only a competition that Counties use to introduce or try new players to Inter County football.

I'd say that Sean Parr and maybe Keith Quinn should have got a go at the McKenna Cup in county colours.

[DaisyCutter]

Sorry, the players named previously are obviously being rested until the National League (McKernan, Rooney...etc).
