Any truth that demand for tickets is very low?

No great demand in Bryansford and Tyrone seems to be the same! County are selling terrace tickets tomorrow night in Newry.

[spiritof91and94]

Anyone know anything on our Minor panel?

Bryansford won Ulster U17 title (Paul McGirr Cup) last year and are unbeaten in the ACMFL yet not one player has made the squad! Am I missing something here? And they all attended trials as asked to do so....

Have no connection with Bryansford but cannot understand how young Clarke who is at the Red High is not featuring

Could be a poor enough crowd. Hard to know what way the tickets are going but the fact they're on Ticketmaster and Down are selling them tomorrow night suggests ticket sales arent great. Strange considering it should be a decent match and it isnt on tv.

Cant get my head round that one either, Bryansford have some great minors as do Mayobridge who are also still unbeaten and there is only two from these two teams on the panel, they must have some team.
I think its the management, no harm to Dessie Kennedy but he hasn't got a clue, never did!!He wouldn't know how to change a light bulb never mind a game!  How do these people get the County job?? They won the all ireland with a great team and only just. Some of the minors from that year just laughed at him. Dont think Turley is much better.

Marks son managed to make the panel, and no harm to anyone he would struggle to make a good club minor squad but being on couny minor squad is good for the old uni cv!!!!

Bridge lad we'll have to agree to disagree about Grant I think he has had some great games this season.  I'll agree with you on Shane O'Hare and add Micheal Lively to that.  Both have imrpoved greatly over last season and continue to improve.

great gameof football this evening, we fought back from a 5 point deficit to take the 2 point victory.
that's 2 weeks in a row we have shown that we have what it takes to stay in division 3, we can only hope we carry this through the rest of the season.
