Down Club Hurling & Football

[Truth hurts]

A massive game on Saturday for us, The pitch in Newry, which has been in bad nick for the last few games, will benefit from a decent week's weather.

No word of the team yet?

Tough match expected this evening. Both teams have played well to date but are struggling to get the win. A draw is not great result for  either but it could likely be the result as there is very little between teams. Let's hope Down can do enough to win it..

Last game of the league before the final against Meath today for the hurlers.

Doesn't matter for Down, but I think if Meath win they can keep their promotion hopes alive.

Would have liked to see a younger/more developmental side named- I think going forward it is very important Down expand their depth- but it is a strong team named to have been playing well, with a few fringe players named.

Great to see players from Newry, Carryduff, Ballela, Warrenpoint, and Castlewellan named on the bench. Hopefully they get some game time today. McGreevy and Connolly played as well as anybody in the junior championship last year, so good to see players from that level involved with the county setup.

Meath were flying about 5 or 6 years ago, and caused Down plenty of problems back in the Christy Ring.

Hopefully Down keep the momentum going.
