U-21 footballers hoping for Shamrock Cup success
22 February 2008

The Down U-21 county footballers have a final opportunity to impress their manager, Peter McGrath ahead of the forthcoming Ulster U-21 championship when they take on Monaghan in the final of the Shamcock Cup at the Cremartin, Co. Monaghan venue on Saturday, 23rd of February.

With the Sigerson Cup just a week away, the Down management may be without a number of key players he would expect to figure in the side in the championship. In the group stages of the Shamrock Cup competition, the Down side were defeated by a talented Farney side, who will be all-out to repeat that victory this Saturday in front of their own supporters.

Down on the otherhand have been forewarned, and they will have to turn in a top-class team performance on the day to come away with some silverware at the start of the season.
