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:
“There never comes a point where a theory can be said to be true. The most that one can claim for any theory is that it has shared the successes of all its rivals and that it has passed at least one test which they have failed.”
—A.J. (Alfred Jules)
