On Sunday, Down will face Armagh in the Ulster Senior Football Championship semi-final. This follows Down’s recent victory over Donegal, which has intensified the rivalry.
The match is expected to draw a huge crowd, highlighting the significance of this long-standing rivalry between the two counties.
