The Downs football team aim to create history on Sunday afternoon next in Croke Park when they take on Dublin champions and reigning Leinster Club champions Kilmacud Crokes in the Leinster Club Senior Football Final.
The Downs have been here before. In 1973 they reached the Leinster Club final but came up against a very strong and powerful St Vincent’s side from Dublin, losing heavily in the final.
