Down Club Hurling & Football

You get more from making polite points than swearing but at least Our-Fella was making a valid case. Ross did well for a debut and for me never wasted possession which is more than can be said for a lot of our players. His only error was a missed point attempt but that was hardly a crime. He played a lot better than Jerome did when he came on (and I am a huge fan of Jerome). But what part of his performance was not up to standard?

As for the comment that he never proved himself in division 2!!!!! Are you for real?

Think he's trying to say that playing division 2 last year Ross hasn't proved himself as good enough for county standard boss. Hard to disagree because any wise man knows division 2 is a poor standard as is intermediate football.

Any word of a team for tonight? I mean, I'm sure it is picked (unless they are going to pick it on the bus on the way up!!!!!) so how hard would it be to announce it? The Down Way!

Derry have alot of absentees so I would be expecting a win tonight.

Under 21st well beat tonight. Don't live in County anymore so not sure what was expected of this squad. But it's over for another year at this level

Can anyone post a team for tonight's under 21 game.All other county's in iIreland seem to release a team with the exception of Down.Why is this?A Derry team missing 8 regulars and we still can't beat them.The question has to be asked why more Warrenpoint lads didn't make the team!!!!!

2 point players Aaron Magee and Cormac McCartan. Donagh McAleenan not fit due to broken finger.
Would still like to know the line-out tonight and the score

How you can justify 4 Bryansford men starting I'll never know

Brick Tamlin · March 12, 2015, 09:13:44 AM

Could someone put their clubs beside them if possible.

Shocking low representation from South Down clubs in there.
Not often you see county side with little or nobody from Mayobridge, Clonduff, Rostrevor, Burren on it.
Maybe this is the way things are going. Is the talent all residing in East Down now?

A Final of 2014 was Warrenpoint v Burren
B Final of 2014 was Rostrevor v Carryduff

3 out of 4 finalists from South Down

I wouldn't really pay much heed to the actual u21 competition run within the county.
Its a dud comp and played at a time of year when its hard for players to give a sh!te.
I was more thinking of the large % of players who play regular top tier football for their clubs or have shown pedigree at Ulster Colleges level beforehand.
Would have thought that the stronger/bigger clubs in Down would have decent 21s lining out for them regularly.
