O'Rourke
has over 50 at training - 26/11/02
Paddy O'Rourke and his selectors have over
50 players in pre Christmas training at St Malachy's School
Castlewellan on a Tuesday and Thursday night.
Ex International cyclist Barry Monaghan
is helping with the fitness training and so far the response
from all players invited has been very encouraging.
There is already an air of quiet determination which augers
well for 2003. Down's first competitive engagement will
be against Armagh at Newry on January 12th in the McKenna
Cup.
Last week Down played a Challenge game against Mayobridge
which Down won 2 - 10 to 0 - 13. The previous week Down
defeated Rostrevor 1 - 12 to 0 - 11.
Meanwhile Down U21 manager Gerry Dougherty will be selecting
his panel in the net few weeks. The starting date for the
Hastings cup had not been decided, but it is likely not
to start until mid January.
