Down boss Paddy O'Rourke is hoping to unearth new talent
|
Down football boss Paddy O'Rourke has called in several newcomers to his county panel.
Those drafted in include Ballyholland midfielder Paul Murphy who could replace the injured Gregory McCartan during the Dr McKenna Cup.
Other new boys include Longstone's Mark Doran, Andrew Kane (Bryansford), Sean O'Hanlon (Kilcoo), Shamrock club-man Damien Rafferty and Aidan Rice.
Liatroim man Rice and Fintan McGreevy of Castlewellan are also called up.
Gregory McCartan is currently out of action because of a pelvic injury.
The 34-year-old has been told to rest but he is likely to return into the panel in the Spring.
Meanwhile, Tyrone's Ulster Football Championship game against Down next year could be switched from Omagh to Clones.
There are fears that Healy Park's 20,000 capacity may not be able to hold the expected crowd for the attactive Ulster clash on 22 May.
