14th April 2025 The Downs GAA Club Notes & Lotto

 

Our U12’s had a very competitive game against Killucan last Friday evening away with some very impressive performances from both sides. Well done to all.

Both U14 squads secured a further 2 wins a-piece in the league. The black squad had a convincing win over Coralstowm Kinnegad after a slow start while the amber squad had a strong outing against St. Mary’s Rochfortbridge on Wednesday evening also.

The U16’s unfortunately lost out to Coralstown/Kinnegad last Monday evening on a score-line of 4-08 to 2-10. 

The minors recorded a win in the second round of the Division 1 league with a victory over Moate. Final score The Downs 5-07 Moate 3-08.

Proceeds going towards the development of “Centre of Excellence” for all our GAA teams. If interested, please use the following link to purchase a ticket: https://linktr.ee/Thedownsgaa
