Alot of vacancies this year ."
Maryland also looking; a lot of local clubs picking from the same pot which can make it difficult.

Eddie Bouabbse the new Longford Minor coach.

My son is wondering what day the Downs will be stopping by his school St Colmans with the Flanagan Cup in tow. Does anyone know? It would be extremely unfair if they left out the other Mullingar schools.

You really aren't letting this go; egg on fave if they turn up and win with a full outfit.

Contact the club directly. Not sure if its usual practice for The Downs to go to all Mullingar schools as that would be a bit ridiculous. If Lomans or Shamrocks won then fair enough

Seems you were reliably informed as Tubberclair lead 2-16 to 0-0 at half time, makes a mockery of the competition. Plenty of clubs have found themselves in the same situation over the years, but despite the heavy load would still would make an honest effort to compete on the two fronts. St Martin's have let their people and County down today. With a bit of luck, Ballyhale or whoever it is they play in the hurling next week will give them a licking.

Their primary focus is hurling, they're a hurling county firstly, getting to a Leinster club senior final would be a great boost for club and county, they would have struggled to win today regardless so decided to focus on hurling side.

The Downs are extremely disappointing so far, struggling all over the field. Will take a serious turnaround in the second half to rescue this one.

Huge second half needed here by The Downs, lethargic so far, mid field not in game at all, very flat performance so far. Likely to be subs introduced shortly.

Tullamore up for that game from throw in the downs were shocking poor.

What was the story with the Downs? I was keeping a keen eye on their progress and word was that they'd give Leinster a real rattle. Surprised to see them lose at home. Maybe Tullamore are better than expected.

That the Downs got within 2 pts of Tullamore at the finish was an achievment in itself.Tullamore better team all over the park from the throw in and would not have been flattered by at least a 10 pt victory.Peoplw had Tyllamore written off all week and maybe the massive hype around the Downs could have cost them in the end!!

Replying To iarmhiabu:  "It's probably odds on that The Downs will be playing Tullamore on November 16th in Cusack. They will have one eye on the Leinster quarter final. They will be looking at videos, studying the opposition etc."
Looks like they looked at the wrong videos!!!
