Down Club Hurling & Football

[SHEEDY]

Great performance especially in the first half. Second half got bit sloppy but match was won well before the end.

[Johnnysboys]

Superb performance by the u20s tonight.

Absolutely top drawer. Balls, brains, pace, clinical.

They were playing against a crap team that shudnt have beaten Cavan the last day.. Murdock was different level but will be a huge loss against Donegal now. Jamie Doran and Oisin Savage were outstanding and the defence wasn't really tested.
This now puts our game against Donegal as a real fixture that we may not succeed in.

Should be good ulster final v Derry.

Jesus you've high standards.

Monaghan made an Ulster final at u17 for this year group.

when is the final? Surely Down would challenge the date if it effects players playing senior and U20, like Derry did for their semi.  Great performance on a cold wet blustery night.  Great to see a Down team with a game plan.

Are you serious or just don't follow happenings in GAA over past few years ?

[terrifictommy]

It was a simple yes or no question.
I don't tend to ask questions I know the answer to, nor do I feel insecure enough to feel outrage at a simple question. And therein lies the problem with the board, used to be friendly and easy.

Final down for the 26th which I think is 3/4 days before the two ulster semi finals so it may effect both Derry and Down. Surely the sensible thing to do is waive the rule.

Is the Down swagger back! We'll need a much improved performance from our semi final (albeit we played minus our 2 best players).

The ulster council moved the Derry v Donegal semi final to accommodate Derry so a precedent has been set.

[Truth hurts]

The management simply needs to act like Rory Gallagher and throw the toys out of the pram.
Brian McAvoy need to be pushing this.

[Truth hurts]

Is it true the league fixtures are being pulled tomorrow night to help Down prepare for the Ulster final?

The club players need football as well.

I thought the final would be on a weekend.  Mid week badly hits the crowd. Especially if in omagh from a Down perspective. It stops me going.

My understanding of the split season is that the panel wouldn't be available to their clubs while Down have an active u20 championship.

So I'm not sure why league fixtures would be pulled.

That is my thinking too, let the u20 concentrate on their final and the leagues will sort themselves.
