Down Club Hurling & Football

[befair]

Ref was ok; Kilcoo the better team, gave away some really stupid scores, slobbering at the ref in the first half and at the free-taker in the second, and for the equalising free in injury time. And as for the red card....
But they still contrived to win in the end, this must be their chance.

Laverty saved Kilcoo in extra time, guided them through it when a few went hiding

As well as he played in extra time, it's a bit of a stretch to say he saved them when they clearly had the pace and fitness advantage at that stage. Serious athletes, they'll have a few bruises but they handled extra time superbly as usual.

Thanks.
Down competing well so far; bit unlucky to be 5 behind. Good to see Kerr back, tho obs not fully fit. The Kilcoo contingent will really strengthen the team (if they commit)

Not in scores or bursting through 5 or 6 tackles but look at the way he controlled the game.. Few Kilcoo heads scrambled with the pressure but he was wanting every ball.. I'm not a fan of Laverty at all but if you watch that extra time again he probably had possession of the ball for majority of it

[befair]

Why play a sweeper and 15 men behind the ball when we are 8 pts down?

Gilmore was a bright spark in a dark night.. Team been let down by the county board in appointing a manager so late, no criticism for the 15 out there tonight, hopefully can regroup and get going next week

To Kilcoo- congrats, congrats , congrats- now go finish the job and the commit to the red and and black, can't say I love ya  but what an outfit - UTM

[Sheedy]

Really disappointing night for Down, struggled for scores and struggled to hold on to possession. Gilmore showed up well but lacked support. Real battle on to stay in division 2.

Until the best players in each club come forward to represent their County, Down will always be floating between division 2 or 3. Can't knock the lads who currently represent us they are committed and giving their all.

Seen a tweet from Cahair O'Kane saying Down have now used 85 players in last 5 years, that's a serious turn over of players. First thing wee James has to do is get a settled team and try to build.

Looking at Armagh against the Dubs, they're miles ahead of us.
