Adam Crimmins block denies Louth last-gasp point as Down win local derby in All-Ireland SFC 

Would a draw have been a fair result is the question. Down took huge leads in the opening half and Ger Brennan’s side showed dash to whittle down the deficits as large as nine in the second half and eleven before half time

The local derby between Louth and Down boiled down to one last play, a stunning block that nobody saw coming. Adam Crimmins denied Tommy Durnin the hero status with a full length palm stinger to ensure Down remained unbeaten.
