It wasn't the best start to the Allianz National Football League last night with Down losing out to Tyrone at Pairc Esler in Division One and Armagh falling to Laois at Portlaoise in Division 2!
Down got of to a good start against Tyrone but only managed to go in at half time with a two point lead 0:7 to 0:5. Tyrone were on the comeback trail in the second half and after a goal apiece mid way through the second half woth Down's Donal O'Hare fisting the ball to the back of the net, it was 1:8 each but that was where it ended for Down with Tyrone managing to add three more points emerging victorious.
Final Score Down 1:8, Tyrone 1:11.
At Portlaoise the story was the same but just a little worse with Armagh getting of to the better start but apart from the early stages of the game and the period immediately after

Ulster Colleges GAA tonight made the draw for the Semi Finals of the Danske Bank MacRory Cup and it leaves open the thrilling prospect of an all local MacRory Cup Final, although making it to the finals will be hard work for St Colman's in Newry and St Paul's in Bessbrook.
St Colman's have been drawn against St Patrick's, Maghera while St Paul's will play the winners of the St Patricks Dungannon/ St Macartans, Monaghan game.

Newry 1's 2-1 QUB 1's
Newry hosted Queens University on Saturday which was another must win game to keep themselves even a slim chance of promotion. It did not start well with Newry down to the bare bones of a squad having a lot of injuries in the build up to the game. However even with reduced numbers it was Newry who took the lead after a bright start to the game. Robert Irwin popped up with a very rare goal to give the home side the lead. This just seemed to wake Queens up who then piled the pressure on Newry and forced an equaliser ten minutes later. Newry managed to hold out until half time and go in on level terms.
