Down Club Hurling & Football

[Mourne Rover]

It is now 1-12 to 0-14 for Cavan in the closing stages. Down just had a 1 on 1 shot, with a great goal chance, and hit the post.

Keep the updates coming Rover. I can't get Five FM.

[Mourne Rover]

Spoke too soon. They got the ball straight back and the man himself John Clarke hammered to the net . Down 1-14 Cavan 1-12 into the last 5 mins. Clarke has 1-3

[Mourne Rover]

Down are 3 points clear now, Cahal Magee point. 3 minutes to go, and up to 3 mins injury time. Down 1-15 Cavan 1-12.

[Mourne Rover]

2 minutes to go. Cavan just scored a goal thanks to a botched clearance. Draw Down 1-15 Cavan 2-12.
Exciting stuff.

That's it! We won! FT score Down 1-16 Cavan 2-12.
Final on Saturday. Sounds like a great game.

[Naomh Pol CLG]

Excellent stuff.  Will be interested to hear from those there about the performance, but a place in the final will do alot for the self confidence of a team that has been devoid of that since our Ulster Final defeat against Tyrone..

With a fairly easy (ON PAPER) Div 3 national league campaign ahead, confidence should be high going into the champoinship...

Well done the rover!

[Minus15]

Just in and read the updates on here from start to finish. got real excited and not anywhere near the game. when and where is the final anyone know?

[ExiledGael]

Will depend on tomorrow night but it's down for Saturday evening so I'd say Casement or Omagh

[thewobbler]

I really hope they don't make us trek all the f**king way over to Omagh.

If the rail holds up, Pairc Esler might be the only playable field in Ulster !!

Thanks the Gods for 5fm on the internet for those of us who cannot make it the oul county midweek!

I sounded exciting stuff. Looking forward to the posts here !!

[In the Onion Bag]

Just in, didn't know the result, found the update really exciting (excellent work Rover & Passedit).
Woopee! Now we have a final to go to and can do so with some restored confidence. 
I never place too much stock on the McKenna Cup but given the depths Down are coming from this is a welcome boost

Moving Clarke up front has been a godsend.

[western exile]

Still conceeding too many (2-45 in our last 3 "wins'' !), and no doubt there will be much discussion on that on this board in the coming weeks,  but for now lets us enjoy the good feeling this week and prepare for a football FINAL!!
