Dougherty on board - 02/12/02

Gerry Dougherty manager of the successful 1999 All Ireland Minor Champions and the outgoing U-21 manager has agreed to take charge of the Down under-21 football team for another season. This is good news all round for football in the Mourne county and puts to rest the controversy surrounding his sacking by the county management committee, and subsequent reinstatement by the county committee.

Gerry himself feels it will be a difficult year ahead, giving that the county is entering a new era, but he is confident there is plenty of talent in the county at present to make a worthwhile challenge on the provincial under-21 title. Now all he and his management team need is plenty of goodwill and co-operation by the clubs and players of the county in their quest to bring under-21 football glory to the Mourne county.
