Many games called off tonight? Weather terrible during our game which made it a poor spectacle. A win is a win especially againstyour neighbours!

So much information on this post _ glad I joined in.

I see the ordinary club player being hammered by the County Board again, below.  Games can now only be changed if there is no clash with county minor/senior training in both hurling and football, oh and of course only if it suits the county board:


A chara,
As we enter the preparation for the Ulster and All Ireland series can I alert all clubs to two very important matters.

1.    Clubs seeking for genuine reasons to change the date of a club senior or minor league fixture are asked to in the first instance contact Paul Blaney assistantsecretary.down@gaa.ie to ensure that the change of date does not clash with county senior or minor football or hurling training.  Permission for changes will only be granted where no clash takes place.

2.   We have received the following email from Croke Park in relation to Friday 11th May.  As you will see this is an event taking place across the 32 counties on this night and as such we will not be able to have any All County football league games on the 11th May.  Details of the event involving the county panel will be released nearer to the time and we look forward to a large turnout of supporters.


Save the Date

As was mentioned at Congress, Central and Provincial Councils are
launching a major marketing effort to promote this year's Provincial
and All Ireland championships. One of the promotional events that has
been agreed is that every county will hold an OPEN NIGHT on FRIDAY 11
MAY from 7 pm to 8.30 pm  for supporters of teams competing for the
Sam Maguire and Liam McCarthy Cups. This event is being organised to
provide access to our county players for children, supporters and
local media in an effort to raise the profile of the 2012
championships

This event will only succeed if it happens in every county on the same
night and at the same time. There can be no deviation from this
date/time.  We are relying on every county to co-operate in what will
be a strong statement of our intention to vigorously promote the 2012 Championships

There was too much water sitting on the surface of the pitch soo referee decided the game was unplayable, he was worried about the health and safety off both sets of players!

On another note the carryduff under 14 hurlers won the A feile beating portaferry by 5 points in the final! this is the same group of boys who where beaten by burren in the football feile a few weeks back. Well done too all concerned!

fair play to them and well done, so thats the u 14 feile and the minor championship out side the Ards., and the second time in 3 years the 14 feile title has been outside the Ards.

  4% of players in this county play county football/hurling, why would we deny the other 96% football or hurling for this nonsense. Baffling

Div 1 & 2 leagues are at an early stage but 3&4 are a bit more advanced with 6games having been played.  Any reports of how teams are going?  apart from the league tables is there trends forming of teams struggling due players leaving the country or is there teams that look to have a ray of light and progress being made?

[maldini]

Where do you see the league tables on the Down website at the minute??

Nearly all teams seem to have lost a signifigant amount of players over the last 3-4 years, div 3 in particular is not as of high a quality as it would have been 5 years ago. From what I have seen this year Newry Bosco are the opposite, they have a huge panel of players, look very organised, they are a very physical side with a good free kick taker. They could be a good outside bet for the IFC.

you need to go in under fixtures/results, then Down comps, then results, then what ever you want after that
