Brave Rebels refuse to buckle
It was only the second meeting of the counties in the final but it will resonate for many years to come.

It looked as if the cup was heading to the Mourne County for only the second time when Paul Fitzpatrick edged Down two points clear with only two minutes of normal time remaining.
