DOWN SENIOR FOOTBALL PANEL 2004 - 18/11/03

Down football manager Paddy O'Rourke has made wholesale changes after naming his training panel that begins preparations for next year's NFL campaign.

James McCartan, who scored the goal that knocked Fermanagh out of the race and booked an Ulster final place for the Mourne men, is omitted from the 30-man squad.

McCartan (32) is one of the last remaining veterans of Down's All-Ireland winning sides of 1991 and 1994. All-Ireland winner Brian Burns is also left out, despite being a regular starter for both the NFL and the championship in 2003.

Shane King is also omitted. The former Fermanagh star struggled to find favour with O'Rourke, and the oldest player last year at 40, Mickey Linden, is also left out.

O'Rourke has introduced seven new players. County champions Bryansford are represented by Gerard McCrickard and Aidan Shields. Joe Doran (Loughinisland) comes in after impressing in at minor level, while Stephen Kearney (Mitchel's), Sean Farrell (Rostrevor) and Peter Turley (Saval) are also in.
