The Division 6 team had a good win over Tyrellspass last Monday on a score-line of The Downs 3-18 Tyrellspass 3-12. It was great to see so many of our younger senior players togging out on the night.

The U14 Division 1 team put in a strong performance in the last round of the league away to Mullingar Shamrocks last Wednesday evening. They now look forward to a league final in the coming weeks. 

The senior Division 3 team had a tough outing on Friday evening against Milltownpass at home. Milltownpass ran out winners on a tough night for the Na Dúnta girls. 

The Division 1 team took on Mullingar Shamrocks in this one with The Downs coming out on top of this encounter on a score-line of The Downs 3-18 Mullingar Shamrocks 1-09.

The U14 girls had a tough assignment away to Moate during the week. Moate were the stronger side on the night running out convincing winners.

The U8 and U10’s girls had a great morning last Saturday in a sunny Breedon Molloy Park for their second Go Games blitz of the season. We welcomed teams from Coralstown, Kinnegad, St. Paul’s Delvin, Castletown Finea, Coole Whitehall, St. Mary’s Rochfortbridge and Ballycomoyle. A great display of football on display

We extend our sincere sympathy to the family of the Kenny family on the recent passing of John Kenny, Loughegar, Mullingar
