Down Club Hurling & Football

Yes there is a playoff for the Div 1 league title with First place going into the final and second and third playoff to join them.
A possibility of Burren and Kilcoo to play each other in their last league fixture as Mayobridge can "still" catch Burren but there is a fair bit between them in terms of score Diff in favour of Burren. So Mayobridge would need a massive score in their final fixture and Burren would have to be defeated to be caught.

Just a final point, it has been the worst Division 1 league standard in memory for one reason or another. Teams going out just to fulfill a fixture. Poor stuff where patrons haven't got value for money IMO.

in that case, then Burren is in final due to head to head with Mayobridge, not score difference

The point beat burren in the prc final by three in hilltown today

James has apparantly met with Martin McElkennon over the coaching job.  He has been around the block a bit but has been well liked by the players everywhere he has went.  Decent appointment imo.  Better than AOR anyway.  Eamon Burns also approached as selector and Jerome staying on.

Big year for James and co coming up

How much will McElkernon cost?
And how much is it to get rid of Jerome?
I can only afford the latter.

[whitegoodman]

Cant see him being any more than what O Rourke was.

I dont mind Jerome staying on and think he is a good football man but the running onto the field has to stop.  Whether he does it himself or is told to do it, it has to stop one way or another.  It got irratating towards the end of last year.  Just cant think for the life of me what 5 seconds of information is going to add to a players performance.

[Pangurban]

James should replace Jerome with Paddy Hardy, a Man who will engage his brain before his mouth

The names being thrown out this week for a role in the Down panel have been extremely interesting, Gregory Mc Cartan, no thank you we don't want a selector smoking on the sideline and then taking half the panel on the drink after the match, Paddy Hardy? How can you be taken seriously after that post, maybe if the Finn are looking a selector next year. Eamon Burns, another ornament from 91/94 who we dust down, polish it up and hope it looks well, got Darragh Cross relegated and has over seen possibly the worst season in Ballymartin in the last 15 years. Why do we also need to pay out peoples hard earned cash on another mercenary who has won nothing from Tyrone? So much for the so called Down way people. We really are either blind or stupid, the best candidate for a major role within our senior county team is currently in Burren, and its not Mc Cartan, please wake up everyone and lets give Frank Dawson the chance he deserves.

Frank has unfinished business . We will knock cross of their perch. And you can fecking print that lol

[alba2]

Rumour has it today that Mc Elkennon has turned down the chance to be part of the Down set up... Selectors are being touted flat out but That leaves the door open for a trainer.  Interesting vacancy to fill.  Is there anybody out there!!!!!

Do you not find it ironic that you mention mercenary and Dawson in the same breath.

Are you aware he's from Antrim?

Bredagh play Liatroim today in the u16 hurling final. The first time there hasn't been an Ards team in the final. Bredagh beat Portaferry and Ballycran. Liatroim beat Shamrocks and Ballygalget.
