Down ACFL Division 3

St. Paul's 3-13  Mitchels 2-9

Good to get the first win under the belt, were 2-7 to 0-4 up at half time, and started to cruise a bit which let Mitchels back into the game, with 2 goals towards the end but we never looked like losing it, especially when we got a third goal from a quick free. Hopefully this first win will give us the momentum to keep going and get a few more points on the board!!!

Bryansford 0.12 Burren 1.06, a very poor Burren team with Ward still up to his old tricks! Burren goal was a fluke to say the least and they struggled all over the pitch, Bryansford missed alot tonight and should have easily won by 7 or 8 pts. Luke Howard very good again at right half back (on McKernan) scoring 2 second half points. McCartan ended up moving to many players around with the full back ending up full forward!

Longstone 0.14 An Riocht 1.07
Clonduff 2.08 Loughinisland 2.09
Castlewellan 0.11 Leitrim 0.13

Can anyone confirm that Ambrose appeared for the Stone tonight ? Ross, as well as the rest of us, will want to hear how he got on.

Results taken from Down website.  At last its great to see them updating it after a round of fixtures have been played.  All they need to do now is ditch that stupid caption competition.  Just checked - its already gone, thank God.

Saw notices for the U.15 and U.17 trials to be held this morning at 10.00 am and 9.45 am.  Correct me if I am wrong, but this is the first notice I saw about these trials all week.  Not much notice but typical of the way we treat our youth.  Both trials are being held on two very poor council pitches - this simply is not good enough.

An interview with Kevin McGourty of Antrim in the Sunday Tribune today strongly suggested that he wants to transfer to Down. McGourty, who was MoM in the Sigerson Final last month, has fallen out with the Antrim manager, Jody Gormley, and says he wants to resume his county career elsewhere. The piece was full of hints that Down would be his first choice, next year rather than this summer. He would certainly be a possible solution to our midfield problems, but I would still prefer to see 15 Down men on our team. I know Shane King came in four years ago, but he had moved to Newcastle, was playing for Bryansford and was employed as a coach by the county board. McGourty has no existing Down connections, and apparently has no intention of either living here or turning out for a Down club. The article may just have been a bit of kite-flying, but I'm sure we will hear shortly if there is any substance to it.
