Down Club Hurling & Football

[5 Sams]

You could be looking at the biggest home national league crowd in quite a while in Newry on Saturday night given the recent performances, the visit of the Connacht champions, Saturday night under lights, no live TV coverage.....looking forward to it....



p.s. for all you boys looking for pints after the game on Saturday evening you could do worse than give the newly refurbished Harps club a shout.

another player missing from that list- James mcgovern

(although he did feature in the cup-for jordanstown, i feel he is another player who will make the fight for places increase the new-found hunger down seem to be exuding)

Its very hard to look past the Ford for Div 2 this year.  They were one of toughest teams for the Bridge to deal with last year.  If they sort out whatever problems they have it should be a short stay for them.  I've heard them tipped as possible Senior championship contenders this season, but I think playing in the second division might take their edge away.

Totally agree with you. They have a fantastic setup throughout their club and with a horde of Ulster U-17 medal winners coming through they will have a squad that will be extremely competitive. Over the next few years I can see Bryansford making real progress towards toppling the Bridge. A year in Division 2 wont do them any harm at all.

[islandboy]

any division one fixtures?

[Leo]

What time is the game on Saturday and will we need tickets for the stand?

What time is the game on Saturday and will we need tickets for the stand?

Throw in is at 7pm and I doubt you will need tickets for the stand. Should be a decent enough crowd for the game, especially after the last few performances.
Any news yet on a panel for the league or is it not going to be announced?

Thanks

I Hear Mickey Linden is the New Drumgath manager, is this true.
If so quite a catch for the Gath, anyone any views on this?

[amallon]

Yeah Mickey is taking over in Drumgath, if anyone can get the best out of them it will be Mickey.  Best of luck to him.
