Dalsey Mooney Tournament 2017 a Great Festival of
Gaelic Football

The sun shone down on Clonduff Park
most of the time on Saturday 20th May for the second Dalsey Mooney
Sevens Tournament - well the rain stayed away until all the onfield
activities were over! Many thanks to Drumgath, Kilcoo, Bryansford,
Castlewellan, Burren and of course 'The Yellas' for the main
competition and the Mini Yellas who put on a wonderful exhibition
before the final!
The six teams competed in two groups
with the winners going directly into the semi -finals and the 2nd
and 3rd placed teams playing a quarter final. Clonduff and
Castlewellan took the direct route winning their groups - Clonduff
had beaten Drumgath and Burren whilst Castlewellan beat Kilcoo and
Bryansford. Bryansford were drawn against Burren with the former
taking the spoils. Unfortunately the young Drumgath side suffered a
couple of injuries and withdrew after the group stage to leave
Kilcoo a bye to the semi- final against the home side. The Yellas
prevailed and were the first side into the final beating the holders
on a score of 2-7 to 1-5. Then it was the turn of Bryansford to see
if they could overturn the result from the group game v
Castlewellan. Although it was a tightly contested game 'The Town'
emerged one point victors.
Upwards on 60 U8 children took the
field in four teams to showcase their skills and talents - Many
thanks to referees Eugene O'Hare and Brendan Rice who not only gave
the youngsters the opportunity to play under an official referee but
also tied boot laces that had become undone, and helped with
coaching! Dalsey's grand-daughter Aimee Kenny presented every child
including her brother Thomas, with a special commemorative medal.
Just before the Final, Christina
McConville sang Amhrán na bhFiann and Peter Brannigan called the
teams to take the field. Castlewellan got the first two points in a
very tightly contested game but a couple of 'Yella' goals before the
break left them five points up but early in the second half
Castlewellan got back a goal and had closed the gap to a single
point but again The Yellas held firm and won on a score of 2-8 to
1-9 to collect the Dalsey Mooney Cup at the second time of asking.
All the teams, officials and the
children were treated to a hot meal before the presentations - the
beaten semi- finalists (Kilcoo and Bryansford) received O'Neills
Vouchers to the value of £350 and the runners-up, Castlewellan,
received an O'Neills Voucher for £700. Then the champions Clonduff
were presented with O'Neills Voucher for £1,500 by Club Chairman
Jimmie Cousins; the Dalsey Mooney Memorial Cup was presented by Mrs
Eileen Mooney and the players were presented with their medals by
Dalsey's grandchildren Aimee and Thomas Kenny.
A 'Player of the Tournament' award
was introduced in 2017 and the three referees and an impartial
adjudicator were charged with selecting the most impressive player
throughout the tournament - the inaugural recipient was adjudged to
be our own Conor Óg O'Hagan!
A special presentation was made to
the three official referees for the day - Peter Brannigan, Eugene
O'Hare and Brendan Rice.
Many thanks to all who helped make
this a special day in the life of our club and in memory of a very
special former player, gael and gentleman - Dalsey Mooney. Thanks to
the Mooney Family, the participants, the organisers, sponsors,
officials, supporters and Congress Print Newry for printing the
programme free of charge. A special word of gratitude to Dermot and
his willing band of voluntary helpers in the social club and kitchen
for their second very busy day in a row.

Ruairi Lively (Capt), Paul Lively, Charlie Carr, Arthur McConville,
Stephen McConville, Patrick O'Hagan, Shane McGreevy, Conor Óg
O'Hagan, Liam McGreevy and Niall Tumilty. |

KILCOO ARE WINNERS OF INAUGURAL DALSEY MOONEY MEMORIAL SEVENS!

Eileen Mooney with son Sean (left) presents the
Cup for the first time to Ryan Greenan Captain of Kilcoo on the day
Despite the weather and the late withdrawal of some teams the
inaugural Dalsey Mooney Memorial Tournament was an outstanding
success. Many thanks to the six teams that participated and the
general opinion of those taking part was that those that weren't
there missed out on a great sporting and social occasion. The six
teams played in two groups - Group 1: Mayobridge, Ballymartin and
Clonduff Gaels with Mayobridge and
Clonduff progressing to the semi finals; Group 2: Kilcoo,
Castlewellan and Clonduff Ógs with Kilcoo and Castlewellan
progressing to the semi finals. Kilcoo beat Mayobridge in the first
semi with Castlewellan defeating Clonduff Gaels (but only just -
Clonduff led by 9 pts at the turnaround but with the experienced
'Town side playing into the bigger goals and with wind advantage
they won by two points).
The final was an intense affairs
between the neighbouring teams but their was no quarter asked or
given by either side and in the end it was The Magpies that
triumphed.
The presentations took place in the
Clonduff Clubrooms following the players' meal. Chairman Jimmie
Cousins thanked the teams that had braved the elements and provided
a great spectacle of Sevens Football. He thanked the group that had
organised the tournament, The Diamonds for the excellent foot,
Eugene and Imelda Rooney for the buns and traybakes; the ladies who
served the food and the kitchen and bar staff.
First
presentations were made by Tommy Kelly to the three referees on the
day - Eugene O'Hare, Ronan Barry and Declan Ryan. The Chairman then
presented the O'Neills Vouchers to the captains of Clonduff,
Castlewellan and Kilcoo - Mayobridge's will be delivered to them.
Before the presentation of the Cup and medals, Mrs Eileen Mooney
made a stirring an emotional address on behalf of The Mooney Family.
She said it was wonderful to be among Dalsey's friends and sincerely
thank Clonduff Club for organising such a wonderful tribute to him.
She thanked the clubs who participated, the people who organised the
tournament or helped in any way. She paid tribute to those who
contributed to the excellent programme and then presented the Cup to
Ryan Greenan the Kilcoo captain. Then Sean Mooney, who had travelled
home from Chicago especially for the tournament, presented the
medals to the winning Kilcoo team. Terry O'Hanlon, Chairman Kilcoo
thanked Clonduff for the great day and the hospitality. He said that
Dalsey didn't just attend Clonduff and Down games but attended other
clubs' games throughout the county. He said the tournament was a
very fitting tribute to a great Gael. Everybody was in agreement and
the social side of the day continued with many of the players and
spectators staying on to watch the Mayo v Fermanagh qualifier on the
big screen. |

Clonduff won their first U21 Championship in ten years in a pulsating
game in Burren on Sunday morning. Clonduff found it
difficult early on to come to terms with the swirling
wind and after 15 min were down 0-6 to 0-1. However,
they stuck to their plan and had pulled back to 0-6 to
0-4 when a ‘Bridge player was red-carded. When sub Conor
Murray was put through he had no hesitation in burying
the ball in the back of the net to take the lead for the
first time and then Liam McGreevy slotted over another
free to leave the half- time score 1-5 to 0-6.
Mayobridge came out all guns blazing in the second half and quickly
levelled up and but for a magnificent save from Mark
Bradley would have taken the lead. From the levelling
kick-out Clonduff moved upfield and again Conor Murray
was in the right place at the right time to slot home
his second goal. Mayobridge came back again and again
and it was only in the closing stage, after Shaun Murnin
slotted home Clonduff’s third goal that the big crowd of
Clonduff supporter could breathe easy! Final score
Clonduff 3-10 Mayobridge 0-11.

Clonduff got off to a great start against reigning
champions Watty Graham's (Glenn, Maghera) who had flown
their star player home from Australia where he is on an
AFL Rookie contract. Clonduff had the ball in the
net in the first 20 seconds! It was level at 1-4 apiece
at half time and with 10 minutes to go Clonduff were a
point ahead but one the champions equalised they went on
to score a further 1-2 demonstrating exactly why they
are champions! Final Score Watty's 2-11 Clonduff 2-6.
Thanks to players, management and supporters for creating a great buzz
around Clonduff again! |

Ballyholland started the stronger
and were three points up before Clonduff got to grips
with their style of play. Clonduff rattled home a goal
but coming up to half time The Harps had moved four
clear and then Clonduff got their second goal! The half
time score was Clonduff 2-2 Ballyholland 1-6. The Yellas
quickly levelled at the start of the second half and
then moved ahead. The Harps, however kept it close right
to the end and Clonduff were defending like Trojans to
keep them at bay. The Cup was presented to Marty Farnon

Clonduff III are South Down Reserve Football League
Champions!
Clonduff III 0-14 Mayobridge III 1-9
Clonduff Thirds
reached their third final of the season and having lost
the Championship recently were determined that they
wouldn't lose two in a row. But they didn't make things
easy for themselves in this rough, tough encounter in
Rostrevor on Sunday (noon). They were undoubtedly the
better team but when they were reduced to 14 just before
the interval it didn't look good. The half time score
was 0-6 each. However, the Yellas dug deep and played some great football - late into the game they
led by three points, a dangerous lead and so it proved -
Mayobridge scored a goal to level. Then Francis Quinn,
playing at full back, brought off a great clearance at
great personal cost - he sustained a broken collar bone.
and then the side was further reduced with another man
receiving a second yellow card. However, the Yellas had
the final say and scored the last two points of the
game. Team: Seamus
Parr, Declan Gribben, Francis Frank
Quinn, John McPolin, Paul McConville, Padraig
Matthews, Niall O'Hare, Stephen Branagan, Oliver
Branagan, Charlie

We wish Francis a very speedy recovery and also Eugene
Branagan who was injured in the Championship Final
replay the previous week and to mark Fegan injured who
sustained a bad leg break in the first round of the
Championship in May.

Felix Darby Cup Final Replay Clonduff III 2-9 Clann na
Banna II 1-9

Clonduff emerged winners with just one kick of the ball
between the teams in wind and rain-swept Drumgath. The
Banbridge side coped better with the elements early on
and raced into a 0-4 to 0-1 lead. However the Yellas
eventually settled and went in at the break level on 0-5
each.
The rain pelted down in the second half but both teams
served up a very exciting half hour’s football. Clann na
Banna got the first two points of the second half before
Paddy Matthews got on the end of a great move to fire to
the back of the net and this was quickly followed by his
second goal for Clonduff to move into a 5-point lead.
However, right from the kick-out Clann na Banna moved
the ball quickly upfield and fired to the back of the
net to leave just two points in it. Clonduff ‘camped’ in
the Banbridge half but couldn’t draw away from their
opponents. They traded points with Clonduff getting the
final score of the game.
The cup was presented to Jamie Fegan, the Clonduff
Captain by young Callum Donnan, a great-grandson of
Felix Darby and a Clonduff U10 player.
The team now has the Reserve Football Championship Final
to look forward to v Bryansford III.

Many congratulations to Clonduff U20 Footballers
who put on a scintillating performance in the final 20 mins to secure a 5-12 to
0 0-5 Championship win in Owen Roe Park, Kilcoo on Sunday (24th November 2013).
Clonduff were always the better team and perhaps should have had the game put to
bed at half time but they shot numerous wides. They led 1-4 to 0-2 at the break
but Bryansford started brighter in the second half and when awarded a penalty
they were four points adrift. Young Mark Bradley, however, had other ideas and
brought off a magnificent save - one of several during that second half but this
effectively was the turning point. The introduction of Niall McPolin and Liam
McGreevy added impetus to the game and The Yellas ran out easy winners.

2013) to clinch the Felix Darby Cup in Drumgath. Burren
opened the scoring with a goal and Clonduff replied with
a like score almost immediately. Then Burren took
control and moved into a 2-6 to 1-0 lead. It looked
bleak for the Yellas at this stage but then they started
their amazing comeback and scored 1-2 to leave the half
time score Burren 2-6 Clonduff 2-2. The second half,
whilst not totally belonging to Clonduff, saw some great
football and wonderful defending to keep the Burren
goals out. Clonduff scored 3-6 to Burren's 0-5 in the
second half to leave the final score Clonduff III 5-8
Burren III 2-11. Marty Farnon proudly accepted the Felix
Darby Cup from Felix's great-grandchildren, Clonduff
lads Callum Donnan and Leo Sweeney.

Senior Football League
2013 Kicks Off

The revamped 2013 Senior
Football League kicked off on Friday 12th April - It is
now a 16-team one-round league. Clonduff were away to
newly promoted Warrenpoint in the first game - and the
home side showed exactly why they reached the Ulster
Intermediate Final last season. They were lively and
rampant and led the Yellas 1-10 to 0-3 at half time.
Clonduff improved somewhat in the second half but in
truth the last minute penalty converted by Arthur
McConville put a gloss on the scoreline for The Yellas.
Final score Warrenpoint 1-16 Clonduff 1-9 - Things can
only get better! The senior panel pictured above: Back

Congratulations to Clonduff Minor Footballers
who secured the All County League in
top-of-the-table clash with Saval in Clonduff
Park on Sunday afternoon (14th October).
Throughout the season they just lost one and
drew one of their 13 league games. The final
score was Clonduff 2-13 Saval 0-7 - the team

2 points at Quarter Final. Well done to the team
and the management.

everybody!
The highlights in a
low scoring first half were a well taken goal by
Liam McGreevy and a fantastic save just before
halftime by Liam McAleavey. This left Clonduff
four points up at half time. In the second half,
the team showed their true quality with a great
all round team display, out-scoring Saval
1-8 to 0-3, Rory
McQuaid coming up from half back to score a
great goal. After the game Captain Conor Brown
was presented with the cup by William James

SRC win
Ulster 7s for fifth time in a row!

Southern Regional College (SRC) jointly
managed by Clonduff's Mark Copeland and
Warrenpoint's John Boyle won 2012 Ulster 7's
competition in MUSA Cookstown on Wednesday 26th
September. This is the 5th year in row SRC have
won this competition - Mark's been involved in
all of them! Two Clonduff players were in
the team - Niall Tumilty Captain (pictured above
receiving the trophy from Gary Mallon, Third
Level Development Officer with Ulster Council,
and Aaron Sherry (2nd from right back row in
team photo below. This is Niall's second title
in a row.

SRC finished top of their group after beating
South West College Dungannon and South Eastern
Regional College which took them into the quarter
finals against North West Regional College where
they ran out comfortable winners on a score of
4-4 to 1-1.
After a short break the Newry team played Cavan
College in
the semi final and laid down a marker by beating
them on a score line of 5-6 to 1-4 with Niall
and Aaron both scoring goals for
Newry. Now into the final with a match
v Fermanagh College (which included four of last years Fermanagh's
County Minor team). This was going to be a harder
test for the Newry students but one that they
were up to! The game finished as a draw and in
textra time SRC did
not allow the Fermanagh side to score but they
themselves notched up a further 2-3 to claim the
College's fifth title in a row.! |

Tournament on Saturday 22nd September 2012. In
the group stages they defeated Mount Bellew
(Galway), Tourlestrane (Sligo) and were awarded
the points as St Loman's (Westmeath) failed to
field; in the Quarter Final they beat Glenullin
(Derry) before coming up against current Galway
Co Champions in Semi Final. In that game the
score was level at half time but the westerners
just edged ahead in the second half - Clonduff
missed a penalty and had a couple of shots hit
the post. Great performance and a great way to
end the season. (Corofin were defeated by St

game level after extra time.

the last quarter. This was a good way to end the home
programme. The final league game of the season takes
place in Mayobridge on Wednesday 19th September under

Allianz Football League Div 1
Semi Finals 2012
Down once again suffered at
the hands of Cork in the League Semi Final losing 2-17 to 1-12. The
second goal was the result of a howler by the Down keeper - having
caught the ball it slipped through his hands into the path of a cork
forward who coolly tapped it into the net. The first goal was also a
bit soft and appeared to creep into the net. Aidan and Arthur both
had good games - Aidan scored 1-2, the goal resulting from a
wonderfully well struck penalty; Arthur scored one point from a free
but it was the overall contribution of the two Clonduff lads that
caught the eye. No-one should feel too disheartened - having
maintained their place in Division 1, the bonus was in reaching the
semi finals!

Social
Football at The Kingdom 29th April 2011 |

'A Blast from the Past' -
Clonduff and An Riocht are the two Down Clubs pioneering the Social
Initiative in the county. An Riocht invited a team of past Clonduff
players to play a team of past An Riocht players in an 11-a-side
game in the Kingdom on Friday 29th April. Niall Rafferty (Goalie
above), former An Riocht man, now Clonduff's Vice Chairperson, and
joint Social Initiative organiser,
reported that
a
it was very enjoyable evening. Although it ended in a 2 point defeat
for the Yellas, the players took it in great spirits and had a great
evening after the game talking over old times with The Kingdom lads.
The Clonduff eleven were
augmented by a couple of 'guest' players from other clubs. Back row:
Guest, Mark Matthews, Paul Shields, Robert Wilson, Guest, Niall
Rafferty, Nigel McPolin, Conor Donnan. Front row: Paul McShane,
Peter Withnell, Guest, Paul Kelly, Francis Quinn and Rory Matthews.
A rematch will take place in Clonduff later so hopefully there will
be a different result. If there is any one looking for a game of
football please get in touch with Niall as there is likely to be a
series of such games. |

ACMFL Final 2010 - Clonduff 2-13 v Kilcoo 2-6
-

Clonduff Minors beat
neighbours Kilcoo in an exhilarating ACMFL Final
in Newcastle on Sunday. Both sides were evenly
matched with Kilcoo just edging ahead by 2pts at
the end of the first half.
In the second half,
Clonduff showed great composure and stuck to
their task. After a magnificent team
performance, they emerged the winners by
7pts. It was a great game in the second half for
the Clonduff supporters to watch and the players
themselves said it was a great game to be part
of.
The Cup was presented to
team captain, Patrick Matthews, who thanked the
management team of Paul Lambe, Paddy (Shop)
Brown, Noel Fitzpatrick and Arty Noel
McConville.
For many of these lads, it
was their last game as a Minor and what a way to
finish!

Kilmacud 2010 |
 |
On
Saturday 18th September 2010 Clonduff
returned to Kilmacud to defend their All
Ireland Sevens title - unfortunately it
didn't work out! However, history was made
in their first game when they encountered
Claregalway, a football club originally
founded by former Clonduff great, Patsy
O'Hagan. The two teams are pictured above
following their game. The Claregalway team
was managed by Patsy's son, Brendan (2nd
from left back row). The Clonduff players
were (standing) John Fegan, Conor óg
O'Hagan, John McPolin, Shane Ward, Kieran
Trainor; (kneeling) Finbarr McConville,
Paul McPolin, Gary McDonald, Paul
McConville and Shane McGreevy.
Clonduff were in the unique position of
fielding a second team in the All Ireland
Sevens due to the late withdrawal of
another team. They grabbed the opportunity
with both hands and had a thoroughly
enjoyable experience. The second team
panel was: Gary Haughian, Rory Grant, Mark
McPolin, Arthur McConville, Patrick
McGreevy, Bernard Branagan, Henry Brown,
Tony McGreevy and Cathal Maginn. |

Recreational Sevens in An Riocht -
Clonduff
(above) participated, with aplomb, in the Joe
Donnan Memorial Masters Recreational Sevens
Tournament in An Riocht on Saturday 4th
September. There were four groups of four teams
- Clonduff were grouped with Longstone, An
Riocht and Castlewellan, winning their three
games. In the Quarter Final they defeated
Ballymartin and then Atticall in the Semi Final.
On reaching the final v Warrenpoint they
encountered a team that scored a couple of goals
against them but by that stage Clonduff were
unable to reply in kind. They had a great day
out and enjoyed the experience - Paul Kelly
(extreme right back row) managed the team.

Former Referee Remembered in Clonduff |
 |
On
27th May 1973 Saval and Burren were
playing in the Senior Football
Championship in Pair c
Chluain Daimh and Downpatrick referee
Brendan Kelly, (left) popularly known as
'B' was the man in the middle. During the
second half of the game 'B' tragically
collapsed and died at Pairc Chluain Daimh,
whilst still in his prime.
On Wednesday 26th May 2010, the late
Brendan's family, pictured above, attended
the Clonduff Club to present Clonduff with
a framed photograph and citation in memory
of their late father and grandfather. The
Kelly Family's tribute to one of Down's
true Gaels will hang in a place of honour
in Ceannarás Chluain Daimh
B loved all thing Irish including Hurling,
Football, Ceili Dancing and of course,
Refereeing. He was a founding member of
the Russell Gaelic Union in Downpatrick
and when the Down All County League was
inaugurated in 1950, he played on the
historic Downpatrick team that won that
first ever league title.
To quote from the citation "B lived and
died for Cumann Lúthchleas Gael'. Go

Fr Davies Shield Final
2009 |

The
Clonduff team (above) that competed in the Fr
Davies Shield 'A' Final - Clonduff v Burren
(South Down U20 Final) - The Clonduff lads fell
at the final hurdle of the South Down League.
They did have home advantage but
found
the size and experience of their opponents just
too much. Clonduff played against a very strong
wind in the first half and found themselves with a
mountain to climb in the second half. They did
make a good fist of it but Burren handled the
wind factor better in the second half than
Clonduff did in the first. Final score Clonduff
1-7 Burren 2-11

Congratulations to
the New York Down team who won the Senior Championship in New York on
Sunday 4th October - they were beaten in the
Final last year, having previously won the
Junior and Intermediate Championships. Down is
currently managed by Clonduff ex pat Ciarán
Fearon (extreme left back row) and the Chairman of the Club is another
ex pat Eugene O'Hagan [Player of the Year last
season was on sub bench as he is carrying an
injury (6th from right front row wearing No 21)]. Down beat Cork by 2 points, Man of the
Match was Packie Downey [Drumgath (5th from left
back row wearing No 14)].
The celebrations went on to the early hours of
the morning. The training bibs the Clonduff
Chairman sent to them must have brought them
luck! |

It
was a great Clonduff day - does this mean
they are the best ten club players in the
country? The ten panellists all played out
of their skins to achieve this great
result. First up was Nemo Rangers (Cork)
in the group stages and they were defeated
4-8 to 0-3; then Pearses (Roscommon) 2-11
to 3-7; and St Patrick's (Louth) 3-14 to
2-14. In the quarter final they beat
Clonoe O'Rahilly's 1-10 to 0-9 and then
Crossmaglen Rangers in the Semi Final 4-14
to 2-8. They had to await the winners of
their local Down rivals Longstone
(previous champions) v Castlewellan which
the 'Stone won. What a final! It was great
Sevens Football - Clonduff led 0-4 to
0-3 at half time and went on to win 0-11
to 0-8 to become Kilmacud Champions for
the first time in the history of Clonduff
following in the footsteps of the Camogs
who secured the Shield trophy just a week
earlier. Jason Brown wore the Goalkeeper's
jersey and picked up the 'Player of the
Tournament' award - no mean feat when he
was out of the game for most of this
season having had knee surgery at the end
of last season. Well done boys and to your
mentors Benny Corrigan (Manager), Keith
Farrell and Collie Rodgers (Selectors).
Unfortunately Jason picked up a foot
injury at the end of the Tournament and
Aidan pulled a hamstring in the Quarter
Final - hopefully they will both be
available for the vital league games still
remaining.
Question! Has any other club ever done the
double at Kilmacud? We will attempt to
find out!

Clonduff Honours Great Servants of the
Past! |
 |
On Friday
14th August Clonduff GAC paid Tribute to
Kevin Mussen and Patsy O’Hagan
(pictured above with Bronagh McAlinden and Brian
McGreevy) and
inducted them into the 'Hall of Fame'. In
this year of commemoration in the GAA it was
fitting to recall Down's first Ulster title
fifty years ago this month (9th August) in 1959.
The two guests of honour attended with their
children and grandchildren. Many of their former
team mates and/or their families in both
Clonduff and Down, four former players on the Offaly team
of 1961 (Greg Hughes, Charlie Wrenn, Phil
O'Reilly and Tommy Cullen), Paddy McFlynn President of Down GAA and
former All Ireland GAA President, together with
guests from Tyrone, Armagh and other parts of
Down were in attendance. Clonduff Chairman,
Brian McGreevy welcomed everybody at the
beginning of the presentation which was
presented by Clonduff PRO Jerry Quinn, assisted
by Fintan Mussen (Kevin's brother). Austin
O'Callaghan (BBC Sport) was the guest
interviewer on the night (chaperoned by Tommy
Kelly) and he spoke eloquently and knowledgably to most of the former players. The
computerised presentation was compiled by Colin
Brannigan and Eoin Murphy. The presentation
consisted on the history of Kevin and Patsy from
their earliest days and was illustrated with
photographs, video clips and footage from half a
century ago. Being unable to attend there were
video messages from Miceál Ó Muircheartaigh,
Niall Sheehy and Mick O'Connell (Kerry), J J
O'Halloran (Chairman Galway GAA), Maurice Hayes
(Secretary of Down GAA in 1950s/60s) and
Sean Spiers (formerly of
Clonduff
and now San Francisco).
Kevin and Patsy were presented with the P J
McAlinden 'Hall of Fame' trophy by Bronagh McAlinden, cut
glass vases as mementoes by the Clonduff
Chairman, Brian McGreevy and 'This is Your Life'
memory books compiled by Gerry Curran, Marie Walls and
Anita Brannigan. Other members of the Clonduff
History/125 sub committee (in addition to those
previously mentioned) and who researched,
resourced, compiled, recorded, etc are: Stephen Morgan
(now Rostrevor, formerly Clonduff team mate), Sheenagh
McConville, Brian Canavan (formerly Saval now
Clonduff) and Marie Milligan (niece of Patsy
O'Hagan). The formal proceedings concluded with
a delightful supper prepared by The Downshire
Arms Hotel but the night continued into the wee
small hours. |

Never one to be thwarted, Tooter
(Thomas) Murnin made a comeback
in goals for his beloved Thirds
when they entertained Mayobridge at home
on Saturday afternoon (4th July) and they
were a player short. He is
pictured above clearing his lines! The lads all played very
well and they achieved their first win of the
season with a scoreline of 3-10 to
5-2. Well Done to Tooter, Louis and all
the team. Surely that's a signal to get
the shorts and the boots out of the
cupboard Tooter! |

Clonduff stalwarts on the Down
teams of 1950s and 1960s, Kevin Mussen and Patsy O'Hagan,
whose exploits are well documented. The pair are pictured in
Chicago when Down toured the USA in June 1962. Kevin was the
first captain to bring Sam Maguire across the border in 1960
and Patsy was the first person ever to score a hat-trick at
Wembley (1959) |

A Proud Son of Clonduff |
 |
A delighted Kevin Mussen holds
tight to the Sam Maguire in 1960 and rightly so - he was the
first man to bring it north of the border! The Anglo Celt Cup
(Ulster Championship) is close by - Down won it for the first
time the previous year, 1959 also with Kevin as the Captain. |
