Down Club Hurling & Football

[Lloyd p]

Numbers is a massive factor also.. Heard on gaa social podcast, Omagh CBS manager saying he had 95 boys out at trials at start of the year and the squad was cut down to 39.. Not sure this would be anywhere near the case in the likes of red high.

so it's not as if there is no GAA drive or ambition in the school.

Maybe things have changed, but there wasn't much application when I was going through.

A bit of enthusiasm, but no direction to it. Even back when there was men that clearly could coach, the actual standard of training was abysmal.

Maybe a lot of 5th years going for a trial also.  That'd boost the numbers big time.

Another 6 lads with Sigerson medals tonight. A top class performance by The poly. Two Canavans are top class players.

I noticed Ryan McGill and Eamon Brown on the uu team. Who were the other 4?

I saw a picture of Oisin Treacey from Bredagh, no 16, I presume the sub goalkeeper. Eamonn Brown's brother was on the panel too, don't know the other two.

James Kelly and Conor Murphy from Burren I think.

Turns out there are 7.. Ronan Connor from Saul the other player..
U20s not going too well at present. Haven't won any challenge games and have a seriously tough group in championship. It's mental how much club football these lads will miss with either the A championship or if not successful being put into the B.

Cause you want to be winning challenge games.??
Are challenge not all about getting game time for the whole squad and to be honest do you really need to be showing your hand before going into a game.  I know they played Armagh and I think Dublin also.

U20s were missing a good few players against louth on Tuesday night and they took a good beating. Louth were good.
I think they they will learn from it and with a few games coming down the track it will help this group  find their best options. They will do ok.

[Truth hurts]

Is it any surprise our U20 team is struggling? It has been years since our schools have been successful. This has a clear bearing on county football. We require a robust secondary education coaching review. The county and the schools should be working hand in hand.
