Just want to say a big well done to St Pauls, who on Sunday fielded 2 teams in the East Down U-12 Leagues. As far as im aware their A team also defeated Kilcoo in Kilcoo which is no mean feat.

To field two teams shows the progress that is being made in North Down regarding the promotion of GAA. Newtownards, Bangor and Holywood are by no means a hotbed of GAA activity and I think that what St Pauls have achieved in fielding two under-12 teams should be applauded.

Well done!

thanks very much DF, I can't claim to have had a hand in the progress of our under age teams, but it is all down to the hard work of a few men within the club, who over the last number of years have dedicated their time on a Sunday morning in getting the kids developed into the players that they are today.

Our A team defeated Kilcoo by 2 points in Kilcoo, and our B team only lost by 2 points to St. Joseph's (an amalgamation of yourselves and Ballykinler) at home.

Down manager Ross Carr faces an anxious wait to discover if defender Kevin McKernan's season is over.

The centre back damaged shoulder ligaments in last Saturday night's facile NFL victory over Offaly in Newry, but it's feared that the injury could be even more serious, and further tests will be carried out to determine the extent of the injury.

Carr's assistant DJ Kane said the management are resigned to being without McKernan for the rest of the league campaign.

"He was all strapped up after the game and he went to the Abbey," he said.

"The shoulder came out, but it appears it went back in too. So it is really ligament damage we're looking at.

"It is hard to put a date on it exactly so early but we are looking at anything from three to six months."

Down 2-14 Tyrone 1-14

Down will face Armagh in the final of the Cadbury's Ulster Under-21 Football Championship on 15 April after semi-final wins on Wednesday.

Goals from Paul McComiskey and Michael Magee helped Down to a 2-14 to 1-14 win over Tyrone at Pairc Esler in Newry.

Tyrone were leading by 1-13 to 1-9 with eight minutes to go when Magee's goal turned the tide.

Armagh reached the Casement Park decider by beating Donegal 1-10 to 0-6 in the other semi-final.

Great game and Down need to kick on with the outstanding attacking players on show last night (again).
Thought McComiskey, Maginn and Devlin were immense. Referee didnt help this trio much though it has to be said.

This is a good U21 team.
Decisive (and measured) sideline management could be an example to others.
