Down 1st XI vs Cliftonville 1st XI - 19th April 2008 |
|
Relegated Down were left wondering what might have been after this 11-goal thriller last Friday night. Had Ballynahinch not defeated Cliftonville two weeks ago, this win would almost certainly have forced a relegation play-off with their derby rivals, but it wasn't to be. Down, who have been guilty of not scoring enough goals this season due to a lack of firepower up front, threw caution to the wind in their final Senior One match, recording only their second win of the season. |

Down 2nd XI vs Portadown 2nd XI - 19th April 2008 |
|
Down seconds completed their Junior 3 season with a home win over Portadown seconds last Saturday. The locals exacted revenge for a defeat against their opponents earlier in the season and in doing so handed the Junior 3 title to Annadale fourths. A win for Portadown last weekend would have seen them crowned champions, but Down denied them the accolade with a performance which should have seen them win by a much bigger margin. While the home side emerged victorious by a single goal, they created enough chances to win two or three games. |

Down 3rd XI vs North Down 5th XI - 9th April 2008 |
|
Down thirds won't be contesting this season's Strabane Cup final. The Malone Park men lost last Wednesday night's crunch semi-final against derby rivals, North Down fifths, at Comber Leisure Centre. Trevor Lennon's side put up a spirited performance and while the tie was locked at 1-1 for a time, it soon went away from them. |
