* 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),

* 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.
