* Following on
from the terryfying events that
occurred this past Thursday in the
ACFL Division 4 game against St
Michaels, Cormac Venney, Aaron Doyle
and their families would like to
thank all those people who have
supported them over the past couple
of days.
Those singled out
for specific mention are Anne
Coughlan, Paula Kearney and Mrs
Tumelty who were the off duty nurses
that attended to both players at the
scene after they were assaulted.
Cormac and Aaron would also like to
thank the paramedics, all those who
accompanied them in the ambulances,
Fr McKenna for his prayers during
Friday night's novena and those
people who followed them to the
Downe. Cormac would also like to
extend his thanks to those who
visited him in the Royal over the
course of the weekend. Both lads
were also grateful to those members
of the club and friends who visited
their homes.
* Forgetting the
disgraceful scenes which occurred at
the end of the game with St
Michaels, the Senior team can be
extremely proud of their win. All
twenty players can be really pleased
with the win and the way they stuck
up for each other. St Michaels were
previously unbeaten and this result
has opened up the League. The final
scoreline: Dundrum 2-10 St Michaels
1-10.
* The Senior game
with St Johns has been switched to
the 4th of July with a 7.30pm throw
in at Dundrum. Training will take
place tonight (Wednesday) beginning
at 7.30pm sharp.
* The Reserves
went down to their first League
defeat of the season when they
succumbed to Drumaness on a
scoreline of 3-15 to 2-11. In what
was a very entertaining game, it was
the accuracy of the Drumaness
forwards in the second half that
proved decisive. The Duns had great
performances from Martin McKibben,
John McKibben, Colm Morgan, Stephen
McGrattan and Neil McLoughlin.
Dundrum team and
scorers: D.Campbell, P.Byrne,
D.McGrattan, M.McKibbin, M.Rooney,
C.Morgan, B.Cunningham, J.Hurley
(0-01), J.McKibben (1-00), G.Graham,
N.McLaughlin (0-02), K.Byrne (0-01),
S.McGrattan (0-03), B.Walsh (0-01),
C.Hogg (0-03). Subs: M.Melville,
M.Fitzsimons, P.Rooney, S.Kavanagh
(1-00), M.Walsh
* Over the past
fortnight the Minors have had two of
their fixtures cancelled. Drumaness
failed to field in the League while
Kilclief conceded their Championship
match. Therefore the Minors have
finished 3rd in their section of the
League while they are now in to the
last eight of the B Championship.
* Good luck to
John Morgan and Paul McComiskey for
Friday night when the Down Minors
meet Cavan in the Ulster
Championship Semi Final at
Crossmaglen (Throw in time- 7.30pm).
A win in this game would see Down
through to an Ulster Final against
Armagh in Croke Park on the 10th of
July.
* The U-16's took
on Liatroim last night (Tuesday) in
their penultimate League match. A
full report will be available next
week.
* The U-12's
played magnificently against
Ardglass on Sunday but unfortunately
went down on a scoreline of 5-09 to
3-05.
