There was a Christmas theme to the youth coaching at Comber Leisure Centre yesterday with the usual great numbers attending. Civil Service brought along their under 11 girls and under 13 boys teams for a number of games against the North Down teams. There is a break now in the youth coaching over the Christmas…
North Down travelled to Kilkeel last Saturday for a Premier League game with reorganisation of the midfield required due to the unavailability of Chris Speers and Steven McGimpsey. However the side put up a credible performance before eventually going down 3-1. The first half was goalless but it was North Down who had to absorb…
North Down thirds went into the fixture against Antrim seconds at Comber Leisure Centre last Saturday aiming to improve from the previous week’s narrow defeat against Instonians. North Down started the game well immediately putting pressure on the experienced Antrim back line. The game was fast paced and North Down had a few chances to…
We have heard this morning of the tragic death last night of Austin Hunter as a result of a traffic accident in Bahrain. Austin played several lead roles in his time at North Down and despite in latter years being more associated with Bangor HC he maintained his close links with North Down throughout. Austin…
North Down thirds took on a well organised Portadown second eleven on a very sandy Nendrum College pitch in Comber on Saturday. After last week’s humiliating 6-0 defeat at Cookstown, the thirds needed to get a positive result. Having lost 5-0 to Portadown earlier in the season in the league cup, North Down knew the…
North Down ladies fifths played away to Ards fifths at Londonderry Park on Saturday. With some of the other matches cancelled due to frost, they were hoping for the availability of extra substitutes but this was not to be due to registration regulations. It was a lack lustre first half with much of the play confined…
After a disappointing defeat to Dungannon, North Down travelled to play Lisnagarvey at Hillsborough on Saturday looking to make amends in another match from which they knew they needed points. North Down were hoping not to miss Rachel Mornin, who has forged a strong partnership with Bethan Brittain at the heart of the defence, too…
North Down entertained Raphoe at Comber Leisure Centre last Saturday and got back to winning ways when they defeated the visitors from Donegal 1-0 with a late late goal. The result leaves North Down on 10 Premiership points whilst Raphoe are rooted at the bottom of the table still pointless. The first half was a…
The Donald is en-route to the White House, Hilly is heading for the conference circuit, dear old Lenny Cohen is gone and yet, reason not withstanding, Gary Barlow lives on. The world is a dark, confusing place where not much makes sense. Just like the mens 2s. With the bulk of the 2s squad holed…
