Ah lads, Ye should have won that! Too many missed scoring chances. Was hoping you'd win. Best of luck in Leinster and Tailteann.

Replying To tearintom: "No there was a hurling panel and then also an extended "training" panel for u14 hurling.
Fellas on the training panel for hurlers could also be on the football panel, the issue that the football coaches took was mainly timing in that training for the extended hurling panel happened on the same weekend as trials for the football.
Like I said, its all messy, its causing division when there's no need, I was asking one football fella about it and he said he had no issues with there being an extended training panel for hurling, thought it was a great idea but was annoyed by the timing. He said when this was pursued in a meeting with county board officials he was told that "sure there's no issues with lads trialling football and training hurling less than 24 hrs later and really fhe main purpose was to use it to train the trainers and upskill coaches" in other words .........
It doesnt and shouldn't be this messy, im not sure but I think the extended hurling panel training is finished for the year now with clubs back in action etc" There were only 3 training sessions for the 72 , then a couple games Paddy's Day. And it was entirely voluntary for the boys concerned. There will be another at Easter and maybe a couple more in the summer.
The issue some of the Football lads need to acknowledge is that more young players in the county prefer Football to Hurling. There werent even 120 lads in total went to the Football trials, and only 40 of 48 places were filled.

we need to rest up now, let bodied and minds recover, dont worry about louth we are not going to win leinster, save our fury for the T C, dont think we can have the build up for yesterday, focus on the louth game, and then have refocus again on the T C which we can get a run in, its tricky , im sure management know best

Hard to find much fault with yesterday's performance, thought Rossiter, Higgins, and Páiric Hughes were the three stand-outs, probably let a few too many chances drop short but other than that, the performance was very good
The Down GK Burns did some damage in the first half off his kick-out, looked like we had an interesting enough strategy in the first half, seemed to be like a zonal press but he was too good and kept on finding holes
Was even enough in the first half bar the ten-minute period when we were down to 14
Intensity levels stepped up another notch in the second half and we got much more joy against their kick-out, looked like Cathal Kehoe was up against Murdock for their kick-outs which seemed to work well. Have to give full credit to the coaching staff, they've very sharp and we're a very well-coached side, we have a clear idea of what we want to do and then we go out and do it, players really seem to be buying into the approach
Our undoing in the end was a lack of legs in the second half, could maybe say we didn't make enough use of our bench although how many options did we have? Ben Brosnan just back but think it was fair enough not to throw him straight in. Thought Shanley might've come in earlier maybe
Think our ability to kick two-pointers has come on a lot in the space of a year and a lot of progress has been made, some of our attacks are maybe a bit too ponderous and overly patient though, looking at the Division 2 Final and the next step forward is to attack at pace and to be able to score quickly
Very good performance on the whole and the team are a very likeable bunch, always give their all and never give up, Louth are very good and we'll be up against it but think we have enough in us to at least give them a scare, we have a good chance at making a deep run in the Tailteann Cup

At the same time we also need perhaps more height. Twice we came in from the side and passed across the goal to see if we could get the player to palm it in - ok they were not great passes but I think it was Coleman who was the player there. Thats a lot of work for a midfielder to have to do. Rossiter has been great but I am not sure we have the balance we need yet in the full forward line.

The extra time really killed us.
We were very capable of winning the game in that 2nd half. Slow build ups and excessive hand passing was the wrong tactic. A more direct ball into our forwards might have been a better approach.
Had we taken the chances in the 2nd half we would surely have seen the game out. 3 points up and a missed goal opportunity proved costly in the end.. Down finished strongly and it was 0.17 each after 73 minutes.
We never got going in either period of extra time as we ran out of gas.
All the lads put in a great shift and gave it everything.
Best now to get that game out of their systems and prepare for the Louth battle in a few weeks time.
It's a game that we are going to be underdogs in but I am certain the team will rise to the occasion and give it a right good rattle.

We have tall young lads coming too.
There arent too many Paudie Hughes in the country.

Definitely up against it against Louth who are a really good team who have made serious strides, as an aside does anyone know where that games to be played? Could it be a double header in Croke Park?
