The Down senior hurlers are also in action
when on Sunday, 3rd of February they travel
to Portlaoise and a meeting with the home
county, Laois in the Walsh Shield Hurling
competition.
This should be a big test for the Down side
under their new management, as Laois at home
can compete with the best teams around.
The county junior hurlers are also preparing
for the start of the NHL when for the first
time they play in Division Four.
