First time you've watched them jimbob?

Down seniors drew with London on Friday night
By god we are in for a long year

[Targetman]

It could be short enough!

Do you know what the line-out was?Bit premature to be judging unless we know the line/out.I'd presume London would have been at full strength and we'd been trying out an inexperienced side.

Very underwhelming lead up to the National League campaign.

I'm sure whoever played that game the other night will have been a fringe or squad player getting their chance so wouldn't read too much in to that...

As things stand, Starting 15 for the Div2 opener for me would be:

Burns

McCartan
McElroy
Fegan
McCormack
McParland
Mooney

Doherty
Connery

O'Rawe
Laverty
Guinness
O'Hagan
Gilmore
Quinn or Havern (If fit)

Badly in need of the Kilcoo lads to come back in. Anyone know why Shane Annett isn't on the squad? Always quality any time I've watched him

Mooney the o hagans and mckernan all played against london and then a lot of the lads that played against donegal.

Some guff talked on here tbf...Mooney and McKernan not available the other night so that's a good start. Also who are the 'lot of other lads'?

Never let the truth get in the way and all that...
