Down Club Hurling & Football

[Kong King]

Could Kilcoo go all the way and do it this time?

Very tight half.. Laverty and Devlin passengers in the side, S Johnston, Eugene B and Doherty best for Kilcoo so far. Glens defensive shape is great - Glass's point was pure class

They've a great chance, bookies favourites now!

[Leftmidfield]

What a goal from JJ !! Seemed only a point was in. Who else would have gone for goal in that scenario?  Wee James maybe but no one else !!

As the pubs are closed early he probably was sitting in his bedroom with the light off talking to himself

Struggling with this one but how can you have an U20 13 aside game when both teams had panels of 20 plus players on it??

Am I missing something?

Annaclone had 20 lads togged out, programme named one lad twice and a couple that weren't there. We had 5/6 U17s in that. The problem is that there was only 2 options, 15 a side with the big clubs or 13 a side B competition. What's better for the club involved? When you go through the results in both sections there was a few hammerings handed out and quite a few walkovers. Probably should have been 3 competitions but you'd end up with a similar argument with some teams anyway.

Kildare didn't switch age groups and played the traditional U18 for Minor level. Nor did they have an U20/21 grade but had an U23 grade which went down well with the Clubs.All this info courtesy of Joe Brolly.🤷🏻‍♂️

Both of our senior teams are in tough divisions, but it has to be an advantage for the footballers that we have four out of our seven games at home. We may need to win three of them to stay up and avoid the Tailteann Cup unless we unexpectedly pick something up on the road. The last time that James took on the job, he managed to start by getting promoted from D2. Unfortunately, our 2022 squad cannot really be compared to the 2010 version.

Can anyone post full down squad and backroom team?

Not even Wee James could do that at present.
