Down Club Hurling & Football

[Sandstorm]

Joe McMahon and Martin Corey the new Kilcoo management ticket. The reason behind them leaving Meath

Keyboardwman, your a genius.

Ant additions to the senior panel ahead of the championship opener on Saturday?

[Blackandblue2]

No new additions, is Mc Geary back from his injury yet? I would imagine the team to start against Monaghan will be pretty close to the starting team. Mc Geough full forward is a strange one but has seemed to work last 2 games, offers something different and no one else has nailed it down. The likes of Savage/ Mc Crickard/ Gilmore have never really grab a jersey so probably start with that. Murdock and Mc Evoy are Downs main performers on the day, if they go well i think Down win with a couple points to spare.

So the Johnsons aren't involved this year at all?.

[Blackandblue2]

No Ryan is just playing for Kilcoo and Shealan is travelling at the moment so neither training at this point, hard to see any involvement and Kerr currently playing for Burren.- strange one

[ardtole]

Kerr would be serious addition to the Down forward line, particularly under the new rules.

Ryan concentrating on club football due to niggly injuries, feels his body no longer up to the demands of county football. Shealan home now AFAIK. Hopefully he will return to the county set up.

Kilcoo have announced former Monaghan player Martin Corey as new manager, assisted by Derry's Paddy Crozier and former Tyrone player Joe McMahon

U20s taking a right hiding from Cavan

[snoopdog]

That's a poor Down team. Constantly gifting stupid free kicks from scoreable positions. Is that the best 15 at u20 in the county? 

[Sheedy]

That was worse than poor, second best all over the field.

 WE have been awful at minor and u20 grades for sometime except for Lavery's teams at u20 level which were competitive and successful. It's not all the players fault...

That's very true.

Where does the fault lie?
