Down have to dust themselves down after their Ulster Football Final defeat by Donegal.
They take on Tipperary this weekend after failing to take home the trophy at St Tiernachs Park in Clones yesterday.
The game burst into life in the final few minutes of the first half after a low scoring start and Donegal's Leo McLoone put the ball to the back of the net to leave them ahead by a point at half time. Donegal 1:5 Down 0:7
Donegal impressed most of the game and Down's prospects of a win just got further and further away as the second half progressed. Top scorer for Down was Liam Doyle with 0:4. The game ended. Donegal 2:18 Down 0: 13
A little bit of history was made in Belfast yesterday with Belfast City Hall showing a GAA game live for the first time ever in the grounds to the front of the building. Though it was a small crowd, it certainly was enjoyed by all present including a large group of Spanish students.
