It's a pity about Martin Clarke.Tomorrow's result will probably shape our league season.Defeat and we'll probably be relegated but a win will settle us and push on towards June.

[SHEEDY]

massive win away from home for down 1-15 to 1-7. strong 1st half was the platform for a comfortable win. well done everyone.

Is Sean Og still picking the team?

[Lecale Gael]

a strong performance. some great passages of play and had our shooting boots on today.

well done.

derry will have their slaughtneil lads back for the last 2 games v cork and Fermanagh which I think they can win as they have cork at home

Fermanagh and cork now favourites to go down

some turnaround lol

we are still going to need to beat galway or kildare at home to avoid the drop. cant see us beating cork away in the last game especially if they need the points. encouraging signs in the last 2 games but we're not out of the woods as far as relegation is concerned.
it shows when we have our best team out we are a match for anybody in this division.

Good trip, nice day, best performance since our last visit to Celtic Park.
Half-back line, supplemented by McKernan sweeping, was the foundation- particularly O'Hanlon.
Turley and Carr were excellent.  Maginn and Johnston (R) make us tick and Barry O'Hagan was on fire.
The only criticism was that we could have added to our points difference as Derry were all over the show but fair play to Burns and co. We will need at least one more win so let's beat Kildare.

A great week for Down football.Now to pick up another 2 points and get ready for the Orangeman
Sean Og you legend keep picking the team
He wanted the changes at HT against Clare and he got them and ever since then we have started to perform
What a turnaround
WE ARE BACK

[Hoes before bros]

What a difference a week makes. Last Friday we were all fearing the worst. Great to get the two wins but more importantly it's great to finally see some sort of game plan in action. Yes at times it may not be pretty but I'd rather see us playing defensive and winning than playing the "down way" and getting beat. Three league games to work on and progress that game plan and we could be in for a half decent championship/back door run

How will We do against a very high scoring Armagh team -12 different scorers facing a team who finished jointly with 8 points last year in the league but failed to be promoted due to points difference ?
