Down representation on Ulster Railway Cup sides - 05/11/02
For the first time in over forty years,
Down did not have one player in the starting fifteen which
played Munster in the Railway Cup semi-final in Galway last
weekend and Leinster in the final played at the re-developed
Pearse Stadium, Salthill on Sunday.
Michael Walsh and Liam Doyle did come on as substitutes
in both games. With Walsh scoring a point in the final.
This just shows the current low ebb of Down football at
the present time, and also gives an indication of the task
in hand for Paddy O'Rourke and his management team in trying
to resurrect Mourne county football in the coming season.
For the record
Ulster lost the Railway Cup football final to Leinster by
two points in a closely contested game.
Gary Savage was
Down's only representative on the Ulster hurling team which
was heavily defea-ted by Munster in the Railway Cup semi-final
played in Kilkenny also last weekend.
