Yeah first six games in div 1 have been interesting but it looks kilcoo Burren and clonduff in that order for the championship. Burren and kilcoo has been the best game so far I seen and it will be tight if they meet in the championship. Clonduff if they can get everyone available will cause most teams problems.
As for our county team I think it best this season is brought to a close asap. Our county setup needs to reset.

Very disappointing situation with our county football teams.  It would be great to see everyone pulling together for the cause, everyone willing to make themselves available and having packed grounds of the red and black. Here is hoping.

Down minors never won ulster title in 2005. They won the AI through the back door system same year. The last ulster minor title was end of last millennium...1999

It is also very clear that there is minority that doent want lavery to get the job.

They were very competitive this year against Tyrone u20s who are now in AIF. No other down team at any age group including seniors have come near a big gun in a long time.

James did reference many times that we didnt have the players after the defeats during his recent reign as minor manager. CL and MC didnt have these problems with the same group of players.

Agree. This is mainly because of the mourne academy which is not producing results. The current minor manager was big part in this regime but it is just not his fault. The person overseeing it has to take responsibility.

The most important aspect is to get the best men into these roles even if you have find them in long grass. The current process isn't working.

Thank God we won't be favourites for the Final .. hopefully then we will perform 70 minutes

Down Div 1 . Mayobridge 0:10 Kilcoo 0.10. A long range free from Paul Devlin was enough to secure the draw for Kilcoo.

Kilcoo produced their best display of the season tonight against a disappointing Longstone side. Felim Mcgreevy totally dominated midfield while Conor Laverty was superb at full forward terrorising the reds defence. Gary Mcevoy bagged 1-3 from play and finished as top scorer in a great display.

Kilcoo looked very stong last night. Very tight defence. They are the team to beat in Down this year. Longstone never got a sniff. I would have expected more from Ambrose Rodgers but He wasn't able to influence the game at all...

Greg Blaney...3 all stars....

Folks, I attended all the senior championship matches at the weekend and Kilcoo were the pick of the bunch. In this match Byransford were simply not up for the fight. Kilcoo bossed them from start to finish. Pete Mc Grath at one point was even visibily dissappointed with the level of passion shown from some of his players.... Kilcoo simply gave a very passionate team perfomance and got most players behind the ball to pack their defence..Byransford simply had no answer.  GOD HELP CLONDUFF
