Down ready for Rebels this time, declares Coulter

Benny Coulter says Down have learned the lessons from their league trip to Cork last year.

In a rematch of the 2010 All-Ireland final, James McCartan’s side were beaten by 11 points under the lights of Páirc Uí Rinn last March.

Afterwards, Coulter reported the team were tired after taking the four-hour coach journey to Cork the day of the game. But with an afternoon throw-in set for this Sunday, they are ensuring preparations are better.
