DOWN will wear an all-black kit for Saturday’s All-Ireland football qualifier clash with Cork at Croke Park.

Cork captain Graham Canty is not surprised that Down are the team providing the opposition in this weekend's All-Ireland SFC final, despite the fact that Mourne men were in the second tier of the National League this season.

DOWN attacker Danny Hughes admits they are conscious of the history and tradition that will accompany the county into next month’s All-Ireland decider against Cork.

DOWN’S meeting with Cork in next month’s All-Ireland SFC decider means at least one team will have to change jerseys due to a colour clash.
