* Good luck to the St Josephs U-20 team who will face St Mary's (Dromara/Liatroim) on Sunday in the Final of the East Down B Championship. St Josephs will be hoping to retain the McCashin Cup which they won in 2006.
In preparation for the Final there will be a training session in Ballykinlar on Wednesday night (tonight) at 7.30pm sharp. Following on from this a light session will be had at the same venue and time on Friday evening.
On Sunday past the U-20's took on Eire Og, Craigavon, in a friendly at the North Armagh venue. The Craigavon side fielded their Senior team and emerged victorious by four points on a 2-10 to 1-09 scoreline. Thanks to Eire Og captain Pauric McKeever for facilitating the game and to the club for providing refreshments after the match. Also, a big thanks goes to Daniel Rooney for refereeing the game.
* The U-13's picked up their second win on the trot on Sunday when they defeated Carryduff B 7-06 to 3-04 in Ballykinlar. This impressive win followed on from last week's victory over Liatroim.
This finishes off the U-13's campaign for the season. Overall, this was a very worthwhile venture and the East Down Board must be commended for the smooth running of the competition.
* Two underage stars from the club will be in action at Pairc Esler this afternoon (Wednesday). Conn Rooney will line out at full back for St Malachy's, Castlewellan, in the Down U-14 Vocational Schools Final. Conn is the youngest player on the team as he is still 2nd year and this is a 3rd year's tournament.
Following this game at the same venue Brendan Cunningham will line out at right half forward for De La Salle, Downpatrick, when they will contest the Down U-16 Vocational Schools Final. In the Semi Final last week Brendan scored a great point to help the county town side progress to the decider.
Good luck to both players!
* Two Dundrum Senior players lined out on opposite sides at St Patrick's Park, Newcastle, last week. Paul McComiskey played at full forward for Queens while John Hurley was positioned at right half back for Down in a very keenly contested challenge game.
* Good luck to Paul McComiskey and the rest of the Queens squad for today's (Wednesday) Ryan Cup Semi Final against the Garda College in Dublin.
* A sub committee is to be formed to help produce the new club history in time for the 75th Anniversary which will take place in 2009. So far the committee comprises of Mark Fitzsimons, Kieran McKibben, Eddie Campbell, Thomas McShane and Peter McVerry. It is hoped that five further members will be recruited before the first meeting which will take place in January.
