Despite a neck in neck first half against Meath at yesterday's Tailteann Cup Final it just wasn't Down's day, as they lost out to a hungrier Meath side who were able to forge ahead when it mattered.
Down were first to get on the scoreboard with a point from Ceilum Doherty. A point followed quickly from Meath but It took them a little longer to settle with Down leading by three points 15 minutes in. But as fate would have it, a rather lucky goal put them back in the frame and it was all even at half time with Down 0:6 to Meath's 1:3.
Again Down were fastest out in the second half with a two point lead but Meath came back into the game with 4 unanswered points. The game ebbed and flowed but Down could only get to within two points and a second goal deep into injury time cemented Meaths victory and a guaranteed place in the 2024 All Ireland Championship competing for Sam'.
Final score Down 0:14 Meath 2:13
