The senior men’s team started their AIB Leinster championship campaign last Sunday with a hard fought win against Longford champions Clonguish in TEG Cusack Park. The half-time score read 2-07 to 0-09 with four points between the sides. However Clonguish were relentless in the second half with The Downs not able to pull away from their opponents at any point. In fact, after 25 minutes the Longford champions went ahead by a point leaving the last few minutes for The Downs on a knife edge. The men in black and amber fought their way back into the lead by the time the final whistle blew with only 2 points to spare. Final score The Downs 2-17 Clonguish 1-18. 

Congratulations to all our young participants that graced the stage in Coole last Sunday afternoon in the semi-final of Westmeath Scór na nÓg competition. Well done to Solo singer Isabella Carroll and the figure dancing team who all qualified for the county final next Sunday  in The Downs GAA at 2 p.m. Commiserations to the ballad group on a terrific performance also despite not qualifying. Best of luck to all our competitors in the next round.
