Down 1st XI vs Portrush 1st XI - 21st January 2012
Down picked up another three points in Senior Two with a workmanlike performance against an energetic Portrush side at Malone Park last Saturday.
The win also maintains the pressure on the PSNI who sit above Down in second spot, with the sides yet to play each other twice before the end of the season.
Down, who were missing skipper Jeremy McCready, always looked in control, but it took a goal from Mark Elliott to ease the home side's nerves when Portrush scored to make it 2-1 early in the second half.
Down 2nd XI vs NICS 6th XI - 14th January 2012Two of Down seconds' golden oldies were the stars of the show in this Junior 6 clash at Stormont. Goalkeeper David Moreland produced a brilliant save to prevent the home side from grabbing a dramatic equaliser late one, while Trevor Lennon scored the sort of goal that had it been captured by a television camera, it would be shown over and over again. It really was that good. The visitors took the lead in the 10th minute when Gary Brown's short corner push out found Gavin Ringland and his powerful shot gave the 'keeper no chance.
