Down Club Hurling & Football

[manwithnoplan]

Hmmm not sure the language is needed. Seemed to be he was putting players into exile in a small club. Apparently he was the acting chairman and Dan and Co't were telling him what to do. Not my words, but no someone in the club (cannot name names).Think the club needs a reset and bundy back in hopefully.

Some dung talked today about the state of Down football and imminent changes to be made in the coming weeks.

[DuffGael]

Coming into the business end of the year year , predictions are -
SFC - Burren
IFC - Darragh Cross
JFC - Aughlisnafin

Some games the last while and a few crackers to look forward to.Finally Kilcoo are going to be dethroned  and it won't be by Burren who will win Frank O'Hare , Ballyholland will beat an aging side.Ballyholland are probably the toughest team in this championship and will bully Kilcoo.But come final Burren class will see them over the line.
In IFC I'd love to see Drumgath do it aith a very shrewd combination of wee fry and Jackie Lynch but can't see past Darragh Cross .Drumgath beat a Leitrim team fancied by some but just not up to it and a very costly management set up I'm led to believe .Darragh Cross have the inspirational hero of the 90s DJ in charge and feel his know how and experience will guide them over the line.
Delighted to see DJ back patrolling the sideline and talk is after IFC and Ulster All Ireland  series over he may well be taking over Carryduff as he has been approached.
Now a lot of clubs looking new managements for 2022
Division 1 -
Rostrevor - Peter McGrath gone to be confirmed - presumed vacancy
Loughinisland - Jodi£ Gormley gone ,players not happy with his training and older player influence , Dan Gordon was real manager and Gormley front- vacancy
Bryansford - no vacancy rebuilding and club committee understanding of that
Ballyholland - obviously no vacancy
Kilcoo - Micky Moran retiring , vacancy but not an attractive one as team on way down. They are turning on themselves at the minute , difficulties off pitch re sponsorship from the community and more.
Carryduff - Cahal Murray and D Morgan gone ,there too long and no progress .DJ Kane being pursued to come in.Also talk was James McCartan as his cousin is the power broker there. Maybe a DJ James McCartan combo- vacancy.
Burren - obviosly no vacancy
Mayobridge - Lots of old guard not happy with McKeever and want Benny back but issue is £ as club will not pay club member to manage so it is over to Benny on this one .Plenty of ways to get round this I'd say so Benny return on cards is £ issue sorted - vacancy
Clonduff - obviously no vacancy.
Warrenpoint - Things not good at all here.An internal power struggle at play here ,lots querying influence of Rose of Tralee man. Management were very weak all year and older players calling the shots, young Poland just not up to it apparently as trainer and management like a cheap fizzy wine all bubble and no substance.- vacancy.

DJ Kane has not been approached by Carryduff,  I would doubt he will be.
Wee James would be excellent for us as would a few others.
However to say DJ Morgan had no progress with us is mad,  5 years he won 3 u21 titles,  a div2 title,  a senior county final appearance and this year to take Kilcoo to a point after extra time is something we could have only dreamed about before him and Paddy Doc arrived.

Now that we are entering the business end of the championship season who would we say has been the player of the tournament so far. From Clonduff you'd have the likes of Darren O'Hagan and big Arthur playing very well. Kilcoo's best player seems to be the very underated Micheal Rooney and Eugene Brannigan not far behind. Ballyhollands standouts seem to be Walsh, Joe Murphy, Rushe and Loughran. And with Burren, Liam Kerr has been in exceptional form, backed up by Danny Magill and Ordhran Murdock. For me its between O'Hagan, Kerr and Micheal Rooney for the best player this year.

Strange altogether that username, but as one of the 'non exiled' players on the panel, panel was open to everyone with some ones coming and going through different things.. The only complaint players had was to use the bench more. That acting chairman stuff is nonsense trueblue

[maldini]

With all due respect for Bernie he will not be back with us
The semi final game against Kilcoo will tell a lot about a Ballyholland
Loughinisland agree they need a change as do Bredagh who should be doing a lot better
Don't think you are correct about the Glenn situation players want change
McKeever seems to be a favourite amongst the Mayobridge ones
Darragh Cross bottom of Division 2 this year Liatrom beat them
An Riocht brilliant intermediate run they have beaten 3 division 3 teams
Saul with Fegan to take over u did say he was the brains behind this squad so why so pooor?
Rostrevor do need a change they are very poor
Bryansford rebuilding? The men managing them have not improved them 1 bit


Why is anyone reading into what is possibly the weakest intermediate ever

Such a poor standard

Finished 6th

[Truth hurts]

Conor Laverty was confirmed as u20 manager for next season at a meeting last night, must mean Deegan has the top job, good luck Conor

Really?Don't quite get your logic with this assumption.

Ok so its Jim Gavin

[Hard2Listen2]

Different Jim.

The silver haired fox from the north west.

[Sandstorm]

OMG what vitrol.

[Smurfy123]

Rostrevor go down into the lower championship
A bad bad year for them and Bryansford
A good job that there was no relegation or both those teams would be playing in division 2
It's not to often you get to put the rights wrong without to much of an impact
Surely both clubs will look elsewhere next year for new management teams
Sad to hear all the reports coming out of Rostrevor
A great club in disarray

On the Down job
It's clear that it's not Conor Deegan
The new manager is still involved in the club championship
And until he exits the championship it will not be revealed

[Truth hurts]

Heard reports that one of our greatest players could be in the mix, Deegans said no

Rostrevor will be ok? Come to a really small club to see what its like, division 1 playing intermediate next year,they will be grand

[Down Follower]

What is the rule now in terms of teams getting back up to senior. Will it revert back to league positions or is it now that you have to win intermediate to get back?
