There will be a few people on here fuming today when they see Down GAA's X account posting about a swimmer....

At least there won't be any chat about diving!

Quote from: Ed Hardy on February 18, 2024, 05:55:52 PMGood to get another win, beat Offaly next week and Div2 will be within touching distance. Took a while to kill of Antrim today but subs worked well. John McGovern in with the squad now, would like to see him give it a real rattle, deadly man if left inside!

Where'd you hear that about McGovern? I haven't heard it reported anywhere else

He was on the pitch with the team warming up before the game on Sunday.

2 points against offaly is important if we are to maintain the promotion push. Offaly will be looking to rebound after their sh..t show last week so I expect it wont be straightforward. We will need to be on form and if we are we will win this game and progress on.

Eagled eyed! Fair play for spotting, interested to see how he gets on

Good win at the weekend. Down quietly going about their business and look to be improving all around. O Hare another solid performance, defense on shipped 7 scores, won midfield battle, forwards slightly wasteful but creating chances. Only worry is opposition is poor and Down will run into tougher tests soon enough. Wonder will the resolve be there to match the better quality teams. Time will tell

Any team for tommorrow? Good luck to St Malachys in the All-Ireland semi-final.

Any update on the Darragh Cross situation? No fixtures released until it's sorted apparently..

I reckon that's the strongest XV named by Down in a decade.

Whether they're all fit and ready is a different matter.

But there's some serious pace in that team.

upandwin · February 24, 2024, 08:01:40 PM

Any reports from tonight's game? First match in a long time I've missed, great to get two points and surely that will be the last proper test before Westmeath.

Who was good?

Another win.
Onwards & upwards!

Very few were good.
Ryan McAvoy did well but picked up a yellow which could have been a black; that's probably why Laverty took him off but we badly missed his leadership. Murdoch had an off-night but Ryan Johnson was excellent when he came on. Only Havern in the forward line was consistent; anyway two points and move on.

St Malachys castlewellan had a great win today. The game went to extra time after the Mayo school who were a good team scored 2 late points to level match in normal time. The castlewellan lads showed their quality in extra time to to win by 2 points. There is some good talent in this team and good boost for down football...
