Down Club Hurling & Football

Warrenpoint 1-18 - Loughinisland 2-06

[dundrumite]

Bridge 2.10 Castlewellan 0.10 Poor performance by us to be honest!!!

If the town had been more clinical when presented with 3 gilt edged goal chances and not given away an awful goal the result would have been very different.

Are you being serious? The Town never looked like at any stage capable of beating us, we missed a bucket load of chances ourselves even though we weren't at full tilt! I thought we played well in patches cutting through your defence with ease, also our defence stood up well blocking the Town out!

I don't know what game you were at- you were gifted your second goal right at the death. The town were awful in the first half but were by far the better team in the second half and had any of those goal chances went in it would have been a different result.

But they didn't. Football is generally a results based game. Premutations aren't much worth to anyone.

Bcarrier. Shorty had a poor championshiip in 1990 and was highly unlikely to have been near the team even if he had not dropped out.  He returned in 92/03, but got a long suspensions after what looked like a mistaken sending off in an NFL play-off at Croke Park againsdt Kerry, decided to play Irish league soccer and missed the 94 campaign. He returned again for the championships of 96 and 97, having made his debut back in 83. There will always be arguments about Shorty, but he was a massive natural talen and was very unlucky not have added at least one Sam to his AI club medals.

Brian Conlon practically always played in the full forward line for Down, and his best position was at no 14. He might have gone to London in the 1990s, but his career was long over by then after an injury playing for QUB in the late 1980s.

Does anyone know if we in the Mournes have done anything in particular to upset that Ricky Nixon fella because apparently he is at it again , not content with Clarke ( admittedly now returned ) O Reilly and Mooney word has it a young fella from that forgotten place Kilwarlin has caught his eye ! Steve Mc Straw a late commer on the scene but with undoubted talent has been out all season after a serious rib injury pre season whilst playing for Kilwarlin s parent club Magheralin. Nixon has invited Mc Straw to trials in Navan in Jan 2011 should he recover from the career threatening rib prob. How much longer must we in Down watch this talent drain out of our Clubs . Go look in Tyrone Ricky , your not welcome in Kilwarlin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shorty for one reason r other never got the honours at county level but no hiding the fact that he was the most talented gifted player I ever saw, could put the ball where ever he wanted, great solo runs, scores etc..  just a real privilege to watch and play alongside!!!! ther'l never b another shorty......

Wat ??

[Leg End]

Saul 0.15 Drumaness 0.11

lol
it was actually officially 13-11 but saul scored 14 points and drumaness scored 10. but that clown john killen give drumaness one of sauls scores in the first half so at half time when it should have been 6-6 he said it was 7-5 to drumaness and he refused to change it when
1. The scoreboard said 6-6
2. Saul management told him it was 6-6 and were fit to talk him thru all 6 scores
3. 3 umpires said it was 6-6
4. Down recorder photographer/reporter who was doing match report as a neutral told him it was 6-6
5. The reaction by both sides when he said the scoreboard was wrong told the whole story.

He said it was def 7-5 and of drumaness management didn't say it was 6-6 then the score was staying at 7-5.
The drumaness management didn't own up to the correct score so the score remained 7-5 ....absolute madness.. Never seen the likes of it before..drumaness supporters were actually laughing at him. I understand that referees can make mistakes but surely they have to hold there hands up when they do and when they have the chance to correct it then do so especially when everyone in the park is saying he's wrong including neutrals.

Leitrim 1-6 Rostrevor 3-8

[RadioGAAGAA]

James and Dan Morgan of Kilcoo are really top players on Down club secne in arouond seventies, both of them have played for Down but unable to adapt to county standard.. but hey, they were unstoppable in club matches.

Mid Down Gael, any of James and Dan's son playing nowaday?

To be fair they played on average enough Down sides but where two off our greatest ever players and where great role models with the way they carried themselves and looked after themselves.
James has no sons while Dan has 3 who currently line out for Liatroim where Dan married and has lived for many years now.
Nial Morgan who lines out for us in defence is a nephew off the Morgan brothers.

Don't forget Roger, another nephew.

Did I miss any discussion of the party in Ballyholland on Saturday night?

My dad certainly enjoyed it (any won by Armagh over Down is good in his books). Great entertainment by Benny Tierney.
