Dundrum Notes: April 2nd 2007

* The Seniors took on Armagh Division 3 side Collegeland on Sunday afternoon at a sunny Charlemont on the Armagh/Tyrone border. However, Dundrum were no match for their Armagh counterparts and ended up on the wrong side of a 3-12 to 0-08 defeat.

To date the Seniors have suffered heavy defeats to Glasdrumman and Collegeland while picking up a good win over Eire Og, Craigavon.

* The Reserves bounced back from their one point defeat to Eire Og last week with a resounding win over Aughlisnafin Seniors. In a thoroughly entertaining game Dundrum pulled out all the stops to canter to a 5-17 to 1-07 victory.

The Dundrum team and scorers were: D.Campbell, P.Byrne, D.McGrattan, R.Fitzsimons, P.King (1-00), G.Graham, J.O'Connor (0-02), M.Murray, K.Walsh (0-04), S.McGrattan (0-02), K.Byrne (1-02), P.Smyth (0-02), R.Smyth, C.Hogg (2-04), P.McGrattan (1-01). Subs: P.Forsythe, M.Rooney, M.Fitzsimons.

* Training for Senior and Reserves continues tonight (Wednesday) at 7.30pm. There will also be another session on Friday night at the same time. The Reserves will also play a friendly against Bryansford 3rds on Easter Sunday with the throw-in time yet to be announced.

* The Minors were soundly beaten by Darragh Cross in a friendly on Sunday morning in Ballykinlar. The team which consisted of mostly U-16's were no match for a slick moving Darragh outfit.

On a more positive note Declan Kavanagh made his debut for the Down Minors against Sligo on the same day.

Training for the Minors/U-16's continues on Thursday evenings at 7pm in Ballykinlar. All Dundrum players should be at the clubrooms for 6.30pm sharp to be ferried over to Ballykinlar.

* The U-14's continue to train on a Monday night in Ballykinlar with a 7pm start. Thomas McShane has requested that all U-14 players should meet at the clubrooms for 6.45pm.

* U-12, U-10, U-8 and U-6 training is as usual on a Friday evening with a 6pm start. Due to the large numbers of children attending the Youth committee have adopted a policy of one mentor to every eight children. This means that at every session from now on there will be seven mentors in attendance, namely Eamon Hogg, Paddy Doran, Martin Walsh, Eamon Fegan, Danny McGrattan, David Campbell and Barry Walsh. All these coaches are fully qualified at Foundation Level and all hold Child Protection certificates. Also, at every session there are at least two fully qualified First Aiders present in the event of any accidents.

* The Youth Committee have organised a trip to Croke Park for all juveniles on the 28th of April. Anybody interested in helping out on this venture should contact Eamon Hogg.

* The club would like to welcome back Jamie O'Connor who has recently returned to Dundrum after a spell at Bryansford.
