Down will take on Westmeath in the Allianz Football League Division 3 final on Saturday evening. Here's everything you need to know about Down v Westmeath.
Just two points separated these teams on the league table. Conor Laverty's Down are not only coming off the back of a comprehensive triumph over Clare last weekend but also a sensational unbeaten run that has seen their only blemish this season coming from a draw.
Meanwhile, Westmeath have lost just once this campaign, suffering a heavy defeat against Sligo last weekend.
These two sides have already met in the League, with both counties having to settle for a share of the spoils after they drew 1-10 to 0-13 on St. Patrick's Day. This final should be no less competitive with very little separating these two sides when they go toe-to-toe.
