The ladies seconds travelled the short distance over to Strathearn last Saturday to play CIYMS 2nds who sit third in the league. North Down started the match with good possession playing the ball around the pitch with ease. CI used their full bench to good effect interchanging forwards to put pressure onto the visitors. North…
He has waited since the middle of September but Mark Shannon’s big moment came on Saturday against Garvey fifths when he became only the 22nd player in North Down’s history to hit 100 goals. Well done Mark – but you’re still 29 behind Andy and he’s picking up pace again!!
Notwithstanding eleventh hour selection hokey-cokey, related chronic Dalzell winter “frustration” and frankly reckless disregard for time keeping nothing can prevent the 2s descent into predictability as they fire up their favorite distro and do a “%s/Master/One Horse/g” on the “Master Race” to make it five from five with a chilly 3-1 win away to Inst….
The fourths played host to Civil Service at Comber on Saturday knowing victory was essential to keep up hopes of promotion in what is already a top heavy league with 4/5 teams battling for 2 coveted places. After a late injury pull out on Saturday morning left a squad of only 12 fit players, Sam…
The ladies seconds hosted Harlequins thirds last Saturday at Comber Leisure Centre. The North Down girls knew it was going to be a tough match with Quins always fielding well drilled teams.

On Friday night North Down went to Portadown looking to build on their solid performance from the week before. Both teams started with intensity and North Down threatened early down the left with good link up play between Rachel Lucas and Caitlin Taylor. North Down continued to apply pressure which resulted in a penalty corner…
Beelzebub eyes encroaching cold front and doubles down on woolly hat futures, porcine-kind finish Biggles read-a-thon and throw chocs to the four winds. Meanwhile away from the ethereal plain, Big Massey rustles around the dugout for his elusive mojo before being lured onto the pitch with a strategically placed interesting looking camshaft deposited at left…
North Down entertained Antrim in the Premier League on Saturday at Comber Leisure Centre and were very lucky to secure their third victory of the season. North Down gave a very inept performance and allowed Antrim to boss the game for long spells. They had the ideal start when Gareth McKeown scored after 10 minutes…
North Down fifths hosted Instonians 4ths in the late slot at Regent House last Saturday. With expectation for a home win high, North Down started the stronger with their characteristic fast paced start. An interesting short corner routine on 8 minutes delivered very little but 10 minutes later the same tactic resulted in a slotted…
