Down Club Hurling & Football

[Wind yer neck in]

I knew you would "Chow the ballicks off me", but all I was saying in response to T. O'Hare was that every club for whatever reason can let players slip through the net and some become great servants of the new club e.g. McGreevy, Trainor and Rice with the Town and some not so good. The players will find their level somewhere, whether it be the Fin or at a higher level Dundrum. Also my point on big Town clubs due to the rule of being allowed to play for the players fathers club in some instances they tend to do just that and thats why Newry, Downpatrick and Bryansford, to name a few, have alot of players living in their parishs but playing for clubs outside the parish . Thats all I wasn't being sanctimonious or anything like that I was only making a point of fact. All or most of the ones I mentioned played with the Ford to a certain level then left but many still remained in the parish,and thats acceptable and within the Gaa rules so no problems lets get on with it. Some response were a bit tetchy so as my pseudonym suggests....

[Wind yer neck in]

I heard it was an offshoot of Morgans Fuel!

[Wind yer neck in]

Morgans Milk would you believe  is his offshoot company, I suppose its a healthy option with the ban on alcohol sponsorship. He sells it all over the South and is a growing company.

I heard it was an offshoot of Morgans Fuel!

[southdown]
