Down Club Hurling & Football

[Too many steps]

Was there many of the Down players that started fri night v Fermanagh in the team that lost to Tyrone in the leo murphy?

Is Ryan Magill out injured? Anyone else due to come back in?

About 6 I think started on Friday night that also started v Tyrone in Leo Murphy.

Magill and McCusker were suspended for Fermanagh. Likely that they'll be back Saturday.

Don't think there's anyone else to come back and young Donegan was stretchered off he might be out Saturday.

[Truth hurts]

Looking at next weeks fixtures there is some great local matches which should start the season off well.

Bryansford welcome the all Ireland champions and will have to clap them onto the field . Does this be done in every game? Reports are that they are training well under Conor Deegan.


Division 3 will be extremely tight and the opening fixture between the Shamrocks and Drumgath could go a long way in determining who goes up.  I will take in the  Aughlisnafin and Bright game whcih should be a tasty affair. It will be good to see how Bright cope in this division but I am confident they can go well.

You'll get a look at Breanainn McComiskey then.

Is it time for a new County Board in Down? Both Derry and Louth have went down this road in recent years and it has clearly paid off.

[Truth hurts]

And replace with who? If clubs want a new county board then nominate individuals in 8 months for the county convention. If clubs see these individuals fit then they will be elected. Clubs need to source candidates who are fit and willing to take on these jobs.
People do not want the hassle of them and the problem is in the county is that everyone is good at shouting but very few are willing to volunteer at both club and county. When you travel around clubs in the county, it is the same people doing the same tedious work, they do not do it for the glory. It's because no one else will do it.

Lloyd what people would you like to see on a new county board ?

I wonder who is on the podcast this week

[MATTSARACEN]

Was passing Zebedee's last night while out for an evening stroll, the window was open, I overheard that Kerr has left the Panel, any truth in the matter?

Kerr heading to the states

How many players will hang about after the monaghan game? I think  a few boys will head for the USA

U20 game,  u can only beat what's in front of u, but fermanagh were very poor . Tyrone will tell us about this years team.

If they do not stay around for the Taitleann they should never get a jersey again. We are handing senior jerseys out like confetti the past few years and although we are quick to hit the county board. No one seems to question the players. The hurlers don't seem to have an issue with the county board.

Does he never get a jersey again?

Big blow for Burren, I presume he will miss the club sfc.

A big blow but Burren have plenty of up and coming players from the successful underage teams to fill his place.

[whitegoodman]

Is the match on Saturday available to watch online ?

i would imagine he would be back for the business end of championship

Probably on Beosport (Ulster GAA streaming service).

There's a link to it on Ulster GAA site - UlsterGAA TV I think it's called on their home page.

Aye they will fill his jersey but won't offer what Kerr offers in terms of pace and direct running at the opposition. I think we will see in the coming weeks and months a number of young lads heading away to play football or simply travel.

[Godsown]

And why not? These young guys have had 2 years ripped from them due to Covid, play for their county and torn asunder on discussion boards like this. Go and enjoy yourselves boys and come back refreshed
