[Mourne Rover]

Plenty of talking points in that team, and it's great to see it announced at a reasonably early stage. The forward line looks exciting, and should be capable of running up a decent total. It's a bit of a surprise to see King ahead of Fitzpatrick at midfield, and it's a pity that big Dan is not available to take on Dermot Early. However, the defence is another story. McArdle struggled at full back against Queen's in the McKenna Cup, and might be better off swopping with any of the three named half backs. McCartan is a great competitor, but there will be doubts about his pace against a nippy corner forward. It all looks like a work in progress, although, with Kildare short a few as well, the points are up for grabs.

Its a strong looking half back line, the full back line have a lot to prove.  The rest of the team looks very strong.  Sunday will tell us a lot about where Down are at but Kildare without John Doyle should be easier to manage but still a tough assignment.

[/quote]I think Brannigan is a strange one not seen much of him and Green at 9 could be a better choice ? but all in not a bad team looking forward to it.

[dundrumite]

No sign of Dan Gordon or Aidan Carr? Are they injured?

Yeah Carr is injured while Dan Gordon is taking a break for a while apparantly.

[supersub]

As far as I am aware there has been a cut in the panel and I'm not sure about the others but I know one player in that named 24 is no longer on the Down panel.

The correct squad..ommitting the player i was talking about...

[Mid Down Gael]

As far as I am aware there has been a cut in the panel and I'm not sure about the others but I know one player in that named 24 is no longer on the Down panel.

Yeah find it very strange Sean was cut. I reallly had high hopes for him. Although monk was not playing well, he should be ahead off Dan McCartan. Mickey Magee and Stevie Toner also not selected while Darren Cunningham left earlier in week.
