Down Club Hurling & Football

Lets focus on the main talking point this weekend.. can Down continue to keep up this good form as we go into a possibly stronger opposition? I reckon the weekends team could mimic the potential starting 15 in the league. Home advantage will help also.

Derrys 3rd game in 8 days, they will be hanging.

@weeJamesMcc i do agree, im sure Laverty and Co. will take a difference approach come Sunday against arguably the biggest threat in Ulster this year, will be good to see a third win on the trot

Not too sure if taking a different approach is the right thing to do IMO.. they seem to be playing well for the new management and doesn't seem to be as much yapping than the last few years.. i know it is only the McKenna cup but it would be nice to reach a final and send some sort of statement to div 3.

That's what happens when you get rid of the bad eggs
The lads who thought they were doing Down a favour by playing
The 3 ringleaders of the Dublin fiasco are no longer on the panel

I'll leave the other name out of respect for a great career maybe just got caught up on a bad year

I've never met Darren OHagan in my life, but having watched him playing for Down, in mostly lean times, he can hold his head high with any county man that went before him.
Fantastic player, great attitude, would be an addition to any Down team or panel.

The Dublin incident was brewing all year.. was only a matter of time before it happened.. the team last year IMO was handled wrong with what there was to offer. It has always been the same in this county with your name getting you on a county panel.. This year it seems to have creeped out abit but still a few names hanging on by a thread.

Truth hurts · January 13, 2023, 12:22:14 PM

who are hanging by a thread

DanTheMan12 · January 13, 2023, 12:26:51 PM

who would you say is 'hanging by a thread'? weird statement to make

WeeJamseyMcC95 · January 13, 2023, 12:41:17 PM

The 2 men that should not be there are the 2 Nialls.. IMO these men are not with Down for their skills at football..

terrifictommy · January 13, 2023, 01:30:24 PM

You may be right, but the Niall I watched last weekend was very effective around the middle.

Going by your reasoning for leaving them out I'd guess that person is from Burren?
