1930s Successes
During the 1930s, North Down won the Ulster Senior League title five times in a six-year period. The Kirk Cup was won twice in 1935-36 and 1936-37.
The 1935-36 season was the zenith for North Down's achievements. J.L.O. Andrews was elected President of the Ulster Branch, and James MacDonald was selected as captain of Ireland for the first time. The club responded to these off-the-field honours by winning the Kirk Cup and the Ulster Senior League and was beaten finalist in the Irish Senior Cup final in Dublin.

Famous quotes containing the word successes:
“Do your children view themselves as successes or failures? Are they being encouraged to be inquisitive or passive? Are they afraid to challenge authority and to question assumptions? Do they feel comfortable adapting to change? Are they easily discouraged if they cannot arrive at a solution to a problem? The answers to those questions will give you a better appraisal of their education than any list of courses, grades, or test scores.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
