Down Club Hurling & Football

[whitegoodman]

Great appointment IMO

any down men in the set up? are we that bad we need to rely on armagh and antrim men, ffs. ?

The two best coaches in Down football, couldn't care less where they are from.  We had all Ireland winners in the last under 21 setup and it was a shambles

[Shamrocks Gaelp]

It wa Neil Collins and Brendy McKernan want it ? Utter shambles

If that's the way you are looking at it we have entered sad times. Who cares where they are from!

Well done alright, but the party will be restricted to the tip of the peninsula.

Murph got his medal at last so dingy can't slag him any more.

Congratulations to Warrenpoint on reaching the Ulster semi-final today. The point were a far better team but made heavy weather of it for themselves. But they defeated the champions from one of the strongest intermediate championships in Ulster.

Ross McGarry was outstanding I think he scored 8 points today,certainly scored CPN's first four in a row.

As for the Minors, there was more than enough potential in last year's panel to at least get past Tyrone. 

I'd be interested in hearing how you've come to this opinion.

It was hardly Fermanagh the minors lost to. Tyrone had 6 players back from the team that made an AI final the previous season.

Shane Mulholland was in his first year and will be a lot wiser Year 2.

[Shamrocks Gaelp]

He also has a wider selection to choose from

Not really Mulholland's fault  to a degree but some of his selections weren't
great in terms of personnel of those who weren't on his Top 24 for the Tyrone
fixture.

[Shamrocks Gaelp]

He also has a wider selection to choose from

Wider?  How so?

He has the pick of both Shamrocks Minors and Burren minors and U16 from this year, as well as clubs like Saul, carryduff, liatroim,mayobridge, rostrevor and ballyholland, teams who performed strongly in both U16 and minor division 1-2 this year. Also teams like Glenn who won the B championship this year in minor level
