Down Club Hurling & Football

[D4S]

He's playing brilliantly I'm told and scoring a lot, his free-taking is first class! Played on Down minor team in '05 and was excellent until he lost his spleen later that year.  Took him a while to get back, and has steadily improved as a senior footballer and got stronger over the last 3 years, his form this year is better than ever.  Whether he's good enough for the county, I don't see why not when you look at some of the other footballers that are there, but he would be a massive loss to us if he did get called up.

I hope Ross does not underestimate London, This game is not a walk in the park!!!! Galway beat London 1.18 to 1.7.. Eleven points is not a massive score!!!

Ross wouldnt underestimate anyone now whould he?

Down manager Ross Carr believes that it would take a shock of mammoth proportion for London to defeat the Ulster side in the All-Ireland qualifiers.
The Mourne County have home advantage against the exiles next Saturday evening and Down go into the match as overwhelming favourites to advance to the second round.
Carr acknowledges the fact that his side need to win this match if they are to show any progression since the former county star took over as manager.
"If we can react properly this time and address and approach it as a job to be done, then we should come through it. I'll put it like this if we don't I'll be in London next year," stressed Carr.
"This is a game we should win. If we have any sort of desire to progress through the qualifiers it's a game that we have to win and also put down a marker in."

BTW, 2 year ago Bredagh won the County U16 B Hurling championship and our captain delivered his entire acceptance speech as Gaeilge.Does anyone know if this has ever happened before or since, at any level? So , money well spent.

Two or three seasons ago Sean Ennis im led to believe delivered his acceptance speech for Ballycran after both the Down Minor Hurling Championship and Ulster Club finals as Gaeilge. He's now studying to become an Irish teacher.

Only 1 team goes up. you may face mitchels in league semi and winners face Bosco in league final to see who goes up.
