I have a strange request. I played for Cavan minors in the epic 2 game battle between Cavan and Down minors in the 2005 Ulster Minor Semi Final in Crossmaglen (which unfortunately Down won by a point after extra time in the replay!!). I was playing full back both days and I have searched long and hard for a video of the game to no avail. Here is a link to the game... http://www.hoganstand.com/county/cavan/article/index/48515 Would you have any idea how I might get such a video? It would mean a lot to me and my family. Thanks in advance Thomas Melvin (Mayo) - Posts: 5 - 23/03/2020 06:47:57 2274333 Link

A shot in the dark, there is a a guy with a twitter account called if I remember correctly, Down Memories, it's full of Down GAA history, photos, stories, give him a tweet and he might help, if not he can retweet his contacts and they might be able to do something for you.

Re my earlier post, the twitter account is Down GAA Memories. A Google search will bring it up for you. Good luck. Newmitch (Down) - Posts: 53 - 25/03/2020 22:46:23 2274679 Link
