Down Club Hurling & Football

Annaclone manager steps down after gaining promotion, strange!!

[Smurfy123]

I think he knows they won't go any further. A very old team with nothing much coming through. I would say that's his thinking.

Possibly thought they could end up playing Bryansford next year or then again maybe thinking of going forward for the Bryansford managers role

[snoopdog]

So unless we get to the Ulster final next year were out of Sam ? Disaster

an Ulster final appearance is a possibility next year. Disaster?? Do you honestly feel like we have a chance of winning Sam?

I think whoever gets promoted from div 3 will not go into the 2nd tier comp once exiting the provincial. But Down getting promoted from Div 3 is a tougher ask than this year's league.

Division two is the right level for Downpatrick

No it's more than relief
I've seen the words great escape now from 2 teams
The great escape
Move on to go on like it's a trophy in the cabinet. Teams celebrate winning trophy's but now teams celebrate survival. Not sure when it will turn. But it is as bad as it has been for 40 years. Win a match let's post a picture about it

Says the club who celebrated coming 3rd in the league last year

[Mourne Rover]

Apres Match is correct to point out what a cut-throat affair D2 is going to be next year. Are we back to two up and two down ?

[terrifictommy]

Are we not? I really don't know where the argument is here

What am I missing

Smurfy - Becoming like some of the other bores on here. You seemed to be celebrating winning nothing on that post. Now I'm not slating that, success sometimes isnt a measure of the trophies in the cabinet but the end result of the efforts. Saul for example, I think can be quite happy and rightly celebrate staying in Div2, why shouldn't they. Bryansford, May once have been a team to beat, but tough times come to every club. Again what is success.

[Targetman]

Kilcoo win what was a poor enough minor final, best team won though

[Town Gael]

Best team maybe but Kilcoo should be ashamed of themselves for playing the man who was suspended for goading an opponent about his mother who had recently died. Appealing the suspension to Croke Park on a technicality was without justification. A tainted county title

[PTC]

Congrats to kilcoo unbelievable year to go unbeaten in the minors and premier reserves and also win the senior league and championship

[whitegoodman]

A win at all cost mentality taken too far perhaps.

Is it true Benny is away from the county and Mickey Walsh and Mark Doran are in.  If correct it's nice to see performances being rewarded !!

[Last Caress]

I'm not agreeing that they should have appealed it but that's the system and the right to appeal is part of that. It's a regular occurrence that decisions are over turned on a technicality.

Add to that The Ulster League and the club championship seems a little more inviting with the demise of Slaughtneil and their replacement entering these stages for the first time .... in quite a while
