IT was an honour to captain Down to victory over Kildare, on Sunday, as it gave me a great lift.
THE countdown is now on to the All-Ireland semi-final next week and I think that the buzz around the county is magnificent.

DOWN Club Championship’s took centre stage this weekend and to be fair some of the football was disappointing for the patrons who paid to watch the games.
TO dethrone the All-Ireland champions Kerry in Croke Park was an amazing experience which will be a day to remember in years to come.
WE did not expect the Sligo game to be as one-sided but we were really up for the game and put the Yeats County on the back foot from an early stage and never gave them any chance to get their confidence back.
IT was great to get the win over Offaly on Saturday evening and we now look forward to beaten Connacht finalists Sligo in the last 12 of the All-Ireland.
IT was great for Down to get a win on Saturday night, in Pairc Esler, but we have a lot of improvement to do before this weekend's game against Offaly.
I AM looking forward to the winner takes all tie on Saturday evening when we entertain Longford in Round Two of the All-Ireland Qualifiers.
IT was a great weekend for sport in general with some great games and shock results all over the country.
