Down Club Hurling & Football

[Sheedy]

Round 1 Limerick home May 11/12th

Round 2 London away May 18/19th

Round 3 Offaly neutral June 1st/2nd

[Lazer]

Offaly, Limerick and London then?

Seems like it..

Home to limerick
Away to London
Neutral venue for Offaly

If our league performances are anything to go by this shouldn't be difficult


League Results:

Down 4.12 Off. 2.14
Down 3.16 Limerick 0.09

So possible the Offaly game is the only one that might be worth attending..but still it's a no from me.

Anyone here been to a game in Ruislip before? Thinking of making the trip if I can keep the costs down as it's unlikely we'll have too many games against them in the future

Gaelic Life has confirmed that Barry has tore his ACL. Absolutley awful luck for someone so gifted that was just coming into his best form in 2023. Would be an awful big ask to get him back again next year and I wouldn't blame him if he didn't fancy it.

Best way would be fly to Heathrow. I was thinking about doing it , as you say when will Down ever be back in Ruislip.

I've been over at a game. They used to have a marquee up for the championship games and hanging around the ground after for a few pints was good craic. Not sure if they are still doing that though.

Awful bad luck for the fella, fully fit he's class act.

Is that the same injury as before?

Who would you take up?

Jamie Doran is the obvious one. Like the look of Carr too - would Gilroy be worth working with - he is a man mountain. Murdock from Rostrevor too is a very sound player. Take some of them in and give them a go.. no point hanging on to the same faces that have been there 20 months now and still very limited game time. Barry injury is a tough one on the lad but opens a place for at least one.

Is john mc govern still part of senior squad? I didnt see his name on squad last saturday. I hope he is as think he could be a good option when he works at it...

Now is the time to try new players.  3 games v Offaly, Limerick and London would be good to blood a few more lads.

Was playing for Newry City on Saturday why he wasn't in the squad.

Sure carr can't even get a game for Clonduff,  gilroy never got a start all year for u20s so I would safely say there's a fair chance laverty won't be looking their numbers any time soon

How is Carr not making Clonduff team? Very strange.

[Ed Hardy]

Any reports from the games last night? Or the Ballyholland v Carryduff game?
