Down Club Hurling & Football

[snoopdog]

Any news on Harrison's injury? Will he make the Ulster Final? Or Barry O Hagan? Is he out long term?

Eamon Burns said today Connaire is fit and ready. O Hagen could be out for the year has to go see a specialist in Dublin .

[Down Follower]

Big crowd going on Sunday I gather. Buses running from a lot of towns.
Here's hoping that Down can get into Tyrones faces as they did to Monaghan and bring Mooney/O'Hanlon and the Johnstons into the game on the back of that. 
Too many defeats in finals these past 20 years.  Time to change our fortunes.

[SamFever]

  Looking forward to it all.

For any Down supporters based in dublin, there is a bus running to Clones on Sunday. €28 return. Pm me to book a seat only 4 spaces left.

Those Tyrone ones are seriously cocky wh0res over on the ulster final thread. It would be brilliant to knock them on their arses on Sunday. Do we have a chance. Who knows. The intensity from monaghan game will have to be there. Hopefully we don't revert to type and get a hiding. Looking forward to it.

Cant wait for it either lads.

If yous are still about an hour or so after the final whistle I will meet yous up in the Square for a pint?

If your predictions are right you'll be too busy watching Big Sean lift the cup.

We'll be down on the pitch clapping you on, like I said we're only going for the day out!

Gonna bring the flask and a few buns for the Tyrone trophy presentation. Will enjoy the day out. Pinch myself to see if it's real. Great day out for Down against Alll Ireland contenders.

Looking forward to a good day out. Plenty of interest around, not too much hype given we're near 5/1 outsiders (longest price ever for a Down team in an Ulster final) but a bit of understated confidence. As Danny Hughes said in the Irish News today, we really have nothing to lose. The Chat shows tomorrow and Friday should be interesting, although in my experience anything  more than 3 on a panel doesn't work, and I expect the same starting 15 as the semi-final.
Weather forecast is dry, four different teams on display, really is bonus territory but what would you give for Darren O'Hagan's cheeky grin from the Gerry Arthurs platform at 3.45?

Thats it's snoopdog, we'll just be in awe to be in the exalted company of three time AI winners and inventors of Gaelic football, Tyrone.
