Results
Senior Championship The Downs 0:8 Mullingar Shamrocks 2:12
On Sunday evening last we opened our championship campaign with a local derby game against Mullingar Shamrocks. Despite a good start with scoring opportunities it was Mullingar Shamrocks who went into a two point lead, The Downs had to wait until the 13th minute until we raised a flag and then scored five points without replay to lead 0:5 to 0:2 on thirty minutes. In added time the games changed with Mullingar Shamrocks scoring 1:2 to finish the half 1:4 to 0:5 ahead. The Downs started the second half by scoring three points to Mullingar Shamrocks one to level the scores by five minutes, but unbelievably we failed to raise a flag for the remainder of the game . Team: Ciaran McCormack, Niall Nolan, Mark Dalton, Stephen Cleary, Jack Hogan, Greg Crowley, Ben Hogan, Brendan Murtagh, John Smyth, Shane Power, Barry Conroy, Luke Folan, Tommy Cleary, Ciaran Kiely, Noel Molloy. Sub used: Declan Lynam
Under 12s
The under 12’s travelled to the fine facilities of Trim GAA Club on Tuesday evening last for a double fixture against the home side.

Thanks to all the lads who travelled and a special word of appreciation to the parents who assisted with transport during this busy holiday period.
