A great match against our friends at Ballynahinch on Sunday. They were let down by their keeper late on so we agreed to play 8 outfield players. We also agreed to give the boys a good run out with a 4 x 15mins match, not sure some of the fans thought that such a good…
North Down ladies travelled to Portadown last Saturday knowing three points was a must to retain their position at the top of the Senior League but would require a great team effort and mindset.

North Down fourths travelled to take on South Antrim fourths on Saturday for a bottom of the table decider.

North Down welcomed Londonderry side Priorians to Comber on Saturday hoping to complete a league double, having won 3-1 earlier in the season, and maintain their league topping position.

North Down fourths welcomed their Cookstown counterparts to Comber last Saturday looking for revenge for a 6-0 away drubbing earlier in the season but hampered by only fielding a squad of 11 players.
