Down Club Hurling & Football

[Minus15]

can anyone confirm what way the relegation play offs will be in Div 3? My understanding is, buttom automatically down, the next three play off in a round robin basis with the winner staying up and the other two down, is this correct?

I don't think so Square Ball. I think for Div 2 and 3 it is bottom team down and rather than round robin there is a draw betweem the 3 teams left.
The 2 teams drawn out play eachother with the loser being relegated. The winner plays the third team with the loser of this game also being relegated.

It's hard to believe that there are still posters on this board questioning Pete McGrath's management credentials. We get comparatively few provincial titles in Down - over the last 25 years, across the senior, u21 and minor grades, we have managed just eight out of the 75 available. Of those eight, six were achieved with McGrath at the helm - two each with the minors, the u21s and the seniors.

It should not be necessary to point out his three All Irelands (two senior and one minor), while only an injury time goal prevented him getting a fourth with last year's u21s, as well as his achievements with St Colman's.

There's no doubt that St Colman's players have a better chance than most of a run with the county minor side, but that was the way it was long before and after McGrath's period in charrge. His appointment is fantastic news, and should benefit Down football for years to come.

It's hard to believe that there are still posters on this board questioning Pete McGrath's management credentials.

Why is that ? As a senior county manager his 1991-1996 record is excellent.The remaining years not so. Down has some great minor sides in the 80s ...I am not sure if he inspired them. Most colmans lads I have spoke too always rated Ray Morgan higher. It sounds like a political appointment to me.

[thegael]

It is a crazy appointment berift of vision and foresight. He caused trouble when he didn't get the senior job , he boycotted functions etc.. And as a major stroke with no thought on the future of football standards etc in our county a amateur dictator sealed this appointment as a good bit of housekeeping , peace making call it what you will but really an absolute disaster. All the misty eyed romantics will say this say that about him but really 20 years managing our teams really is enough but maybe some think he should manage Down for ever ,he is such a good proud down man well it is only about himself fact, good luck to them .It is the silliest appointment ever but ..... maybe we are the silliest county ever run by ........... I just don't get it .........Have our leaders any sense?

No prisoners, but a good supply of mind altering narcotics.

can promotion playoff semi final in division 3 go ahead next weekend or is there still league games to be played??

[Square Ball]

there are 3 games left that will have no affect on top or bottom, so we will have to wait and see what the fixtures come out, and they are usually out tonight

Harps battered the point...Rony Murtagh, Anton Haughey and Rory Keenan stars of the show.....back in the 1st division.
