Picture: Down players standing observing a minutes silence before Wednesday McKenna Cup match v Monaghan for Gerry Mullan – Ballycran club man Gerry past away on new years eve, was a former member of Down GAA Management and held the post as our Ulster Council Delegate for over 21 years.
Down got off to a winning start under their new management headed by Conor Laverty but the victory was earned thanks to goals either side of half time from players who made their bows last season.
Andrew Gilmore palmed home after a fine team move in the first half while in the second Odhran Murdock powered to the net after a storming solo run.
There was a lot to be positive about including a range of point scorers, a selection of debutants and a clean sheet at the back as Down move on to face Donegal in Newry on Sunday.
