Down Club Hurling & Football

[snoopdog]

The last time Wicklow beat us in the championship we got to the All Ireland final the following year.

Maybe history will repeat itself, and maybe go one step further.

Do we have a Beirne, kobi coming through?. Down are Mentally weak. Mayo went to croke pk on sunday with no baggage no fear of losing, they didnt have the anxiery of previous years. They didnt collapse when 7 pts down early on. Football has been brought pack to the pack, a lot of teams will fancy their chances next year. Remember Monaghan shouldve beat Mayo in Clones in the 2nd half. Meath had a massive lead on thrm in Castlebar. There isnt a massive gulf now.
 For those calling for new management, who would they suggest. Laverty needs years to sort the mess out that went before him. A mess that started in 2011 when Tally left McCartans set up.
Downs goal next year is to stay in Div 2. Anything after that is a bonus. Consistency is key. Mayo are always in Div 1.

It all seems to be a bit unsettled at the minute but I can't see them making a change with Lav. If they don't stay in div 2 he will be under pressure though.

We thought Tally was a problem and he seems to have done ok since, granted not as the nr 1.

There's not a lot of young stand out players coming through in Down that are ready to make a big change but Mayo haven't been flying at underage lately either. We beat them at minors this year in the B championship.
