Down Club Hurling & Football

[lfdown2]

I just want to wish Kilcoo the best fo luck for the SFC on Sunday. Id say most of the county will be cheering them on.

The radical rewamp of their structures during the mid 90's is now finally starting to come to fruition at Senior level.

It is remarkable that they have already won an U-16 All County title and that they have made Minor and Reserve deciders as well as the Senior one.

My only concern for the Magpies is their mental strength. So many times in the past they have choked when all expected them to prevail.

I hope McCorry has addressed this and come Sunday evening they will produce the goods.

Thanks very much Down Fanatic. Hope we can do it. Motivation for this one wont be a problem as our love for loughinisland is similar to your own. 

why the lack of love for loughinisland mid?

Few incidents in games in recent years have caused it. Id rather not elaborate any further.

Similarly,I have great admiration and respect for the magpies,they have superb footballers in every position.I am very envious of their collective work ethic and their success at all levels.

As a fellow East Down man,however,I don't share your antipathy towards Loughinisland.They have a tiny population,but have a GAA ethos unmatched by any other clubs in their area,and have always produced great footballers for county teams.

Both clubs are to be admired for getting to this stage.The novel pairing,the East Down rivalry,the chance to see past,current and future Down stars in action,plus the GAA125 spectacle ,should make it a great day out on Sunday.I rarely miss a county final,but to be honest this particular match up couldn't be more attractive.Looking forward to a cracking final!
