Down Club Hurling & Football

[Truth hurts]

Good luck to Kilcoo on Sunday, hopefully, we all can get behind them even if you are from Liatriom, The Town, The Ford, Clonduff, or Burren. It will be a great boost to the county to see the magpies as winners again.
BTW Warrenpoint is a fantastic forward-thinking club that has banished the soccer mentality from their town and seems to be pulling the whole area with them. It's a pity the town where we play our home matches does not have the same thinking.
DOH will be ready for the league and he will be one of our best performers, he never lets us down.

Would you care to elaborate on what you mean by that?

Point used to be a soccer town, not anymore.

Soccer Towns/Villages in Down are Newry, Banbridge, Castlewellan, Drumaness, Strangford, Crossgar. If we could change the mentality of these areas to GAA then we as a county would be in a better shape.

All the best to Abbey CBS tonight, hopefully put an end to the quarter final curse that has seen many teams with great players  over the years fail to get over the line. Full confidence in these young guns tonight, just hope they can produce the goods! AAAABBBBEEEYYYYY

Your profile says your club is Ballykinlar, is that right?  Your time would be better spent putting some effort into getting your own senior football team back out onto the pitch.  Definitely a wind-up merchant.

Less so Strangford, more so the Downpatrick and Ardglass areas.

[Smurfy123]

And Jody Gormley got the blame for previous failings.
Be careful what you wish for🤷🏻‍♂️

Tbf that wasn't a great abbey team in their earlier school years, they had hard luck on the night but weren't expecting miracles.
Last year was the team which alas didn't happen with Covid etc
Most guys who look in on the abbey  as past pupils are quite content that at least they are going for games now .
Decent corn na nog side coming through.

[Truth hurts]

The Abbey is the biggest underachievers other than Spurs this century, over to the college tonight to see what they are like.
I think we will be supporting the Red High though, in the McLarnon, they can give us some joy. The Newry teams are half Armagh anyway.
In all seriousness, the cunty board needs to sort our coaching in secondary schools, we are being left behind. Some schools are doing nothing.

[lumpitin]

Smurfy, they were certainly not favourites, holy trinity with 10 tyrone minors that go to all ireland final, irish news also stating they were favoirites so im not sure where your getting the abbey were 'massive favourites' from?
