As a neutral at Shamrocks v Kingdom last night, have to say John Clarke was absolutely outstanding. Good first hlaf performance from James Colgan too, but Clarke was immense.
No sign of DJ at his home club match!!

You Sound Supprised

No 1, your boys will get it tight on Friday night against Downpatrick. Will a good few of your Seniors not be playing for Strangford in the Harry Clarke Cup Final the same night?

An Riocht beat Atticall 0-11 to 0-06 tonight in Division 2 to make it 6 wins out of 6.

Another year and another suspect selection from Mark Turley and co. Paddy Mckenny, Michael Ireland, Miceal Devlin all non starters yet where good enough to be in top 24 last year. Darragh Ohanlon and Caolan Mooney, two under 16s who are starting, are very talented players, but its bad when you have to start two so young at this level. Very rarely do Down include under 16s at this level. Think Colgan was last to do so and shane ward before that. Be interesting to see who makes first 24 now named on friday.

Down website are quick these days !!!!!!

Yes a decent start for them alright. I seen them against downpatrick and they certainly look strong in certain areas. Colgan and Clarke are obviously a big help to have every week.

As for the minor selection only time will tell, give the lads a chance, minor football is very unpredictable and anything could happen !

The Down team will be announced live on BBC Newsline tomorrow night from the Club Down golf day in Warrenpoint. It will appear on the Down website simultaneously.

It's a very useful forward line Down Minors have out.

We are so ahead of the times in Down - it is frightening..........
Why could we not just stick it in the Irish News tomorrow morning and be done with it - it not as if there will be any surprises.......

thewobbler · May 14, 2009, 11:26:21 AM

The biggest surprise for me would be if the Down team named tomorrow is the same as the one that appears on the field on Sunday.

Aye 7 first teamers are going to play the foreign game. We will be light enough, there will be a couple of lads coming out of retirement to play for us!

The lads have made their choice and I'm sure the Ballyholland posters will confirm that our new manager won't forget it in a hurry!

On the plus side, boys that have been gurning about not getting any game time will get an opportunity to show what they are made of.

No more motivation will be needed than the sight of a green and white hooped jersey (and Willie Walsh slabbering over the fence).
