Down 1st XI vs Omagh 1st XI - 25th February 2012
Both sides created many chances during this Senior Two clash at Malone Park, but it was Down's greater superiority in front of goal that proved decisive in the end.
The victory was hard fought thanks to goals from Mark Elliott and Chris Taylor, but the gloss was taken off the win following a nasty facial injury to Down's Gavin Ringland which required hospital treatment.
All the goals came in the second period, but there were many chances for the home side in particular during the opening 35 minutes with Omagh 'keeper Adam Hamilton keeping his side in the game with a string of fine saves.
Down 2nd XI vs Queens 2nd XI - 4th February 2012Down seconds crashed out of the Minor Cup with visitors Queen’s fully exploiting the huge gap in their respective league positions. The home side are placed mid-table in Junior 6, while Queen’s seconds are the runaway leaders in Junior 5. And the gulf in class was evident from the start. Down were two goals in arrears within five minutes and were left with the proverbial mountain to climb if they were to take anything from the game. Once again the locals persisted with their smattering array of teenagers who will have learnt much. Junior Hockey Coaching
