09/06/2004

Ulster Council has enjoyed an unexpected hurling bonus - and is confidently anticipating another.

On Sunday, 5,275 fans turned up for the drawn Guinness Senior Championship final between Antrim and Down.

This was one of the best crowds to have attended a provincial decider in the sport in recent years and has been attributed in no small measure to Down's recent progress.

Ulster officials now believe that the replay on Sunday next (7.00) will have similar appeal.

Antrim manager, Dinny Cahill, who could shortly be bringing the curtain down on his role with the Saffrons, praised the contribution of both teams.

"If this game had been played by two teams down south people would be talking about it for the rest of the year," observed Cahill.

Hurlers win against Derry 22/02/2004
 NHL Round 1: Derry 1-10 Down 0-16
Down's victory came at a cost with talented forward Paul Braniff forced to leave the field in the first half because of a hamstring injury.
Then late in the game, man-of-the-match Gareth Johnson was sent off for dangerous play.
With Johnson in fine form, Down dominated the first half and only some superb goalkeeping from Kieran Stevenson kept the Oak Leaf County within six points of the visitors.
Gregory Biggs' 44th minute goal brought Derry to within three points of their opponents but despite a trio of '65s from Dominic Magill, the home side were unable to peg back Down.

Junior hurlers get ready 25/02/2004
THE Down junior hurling panel is in training for the Ulster JHC game against holders Donegal on May 2. Currently some 40 players from all the clubs in the county, excepting the Ards area, have had several training sessions under manager Paddy Braniff sr. The panel will eventually be reduced to 30. Most encouraging is the fact that several of the panel are players who have graduated through the U-14 and U-16 development scheme. As part of their preparation Down will have a game each week against the county that has the bye in the NHL Division 3 section.
