Well done St Johns on winning the Down Junior championship after the terrible attack on your premises last week. All the best in the Ulster junior championship.

Excellent to hear they won and a shot in the face to the people on the other side of the community who see our sporting and cultural organisation as a political org when in actual fact its anything but. These attacks can only make us stronger, more united and even more determined to succeed.

Look, whats done is done. The best way the locals can get over this is to raise funds to build a new club house.
The damage is valued at £100,000.
Any Down fellah, keep us informed as to what will be set up for fund raising.
Where can people make a donation to rebuild the club.
