Hello and welcome to our live blog for this All-Ireland Senior Football Championship clash between Down and Louth at Páirc Esler in Newry.
This is a local derby and it is a very unique pairing as it is the first time in Championship history that Down and Louth cross paths.
The Wee County lost to Monaghan last week two weeks on from their Leinster Championship final win over rivals Meath last time out and the one-week turnaround from that game does them no favours here.
Down have had the much better lead-in following their win over Clare a couple of weeks ago and they look set to make it count.
We'll keep you up to date with all the action right here throughout the evening.

Gavin Cromwell's son Jake makes waves with first Dingle Festival winners
Gavin Cromwell's son Jake rode his first Dingle Festival pony race winners at the weekend. Cromwell senior, who is one of Ireland's top racing trainers, was present to join in the celebrations as 13-year-old Jake won aboard the highly-rated Little Chief on Saturday after leading from the front. And Jake left the famous county Kerry track with two wins over the course of the three-day as he was victorious on Little Chief on Sunday as well. It brings his haul of winners to 13 this term, including a treble at Navan in mid-June.

The Meath-based trainer is plotting a successful defence of the prestigious Cheltenham prize as Inothewayurthinkin could make it a festival hat-trick after eye-catching wins in 2024 and again this year. Cromwell is hoping that Inothewayurthinkin, already the favourite for next year's Gold Cup, can emulate the back to back success of Al Boum Photo and Galopin Des Champs in recent years.

Humbling experience for Galway camogie squad at Temple Street Children's Hospital
It's a Monday tradition for the All-Ireland winners and a "special morning" for the Galway camogie squad as they visited the Children's University Hospital in Temple Street. The O'Duffy Cup was there too, all after the Connacht side edged out holders Cork in Sunday's senior decider at Croke Park. There was great excitement among patients and staff as the players were guided through the corridors to meet the children. "It's very special, watching the All-Irelands down through the years, you get to see other teams do it," said Galway defender Dervla Higgins to RTÉ News. "Yesterday we thought the game was the most important thing ever but it humbles you coming here today, you see that there are bigger things in life." For Aoife Donohue, player of the match in this year's final, keeping up the well-established tradition was foremost for the squad. "All the girls wanted to come here," she said. "We are so lucky to go out and do what we are able to but coming here is so special; it really puts things into perspective. It's just a special morning." Ahead of taking the O'Duffy Cup across the Shannon, the victorious Galway senior camogie squad visited the Children's Hospital in Temple Street @GalwayCamogie96 @OfficialCamogie @MartyMofficial #rtenews #rtesport — RTÉ GAA (@RTEgaa) August 11, 2025 Another one of the Galway stalwarts, Róisín Black, also emphasised the importance of meeting the patients and their families in Temple Street. "There's a good gang of us here this morning and we all wanted to come. We met children from all over Ireland and seeing the smiles on their faces has added a bit more happiness to their day. "We met children from Galway as well, in their Galway jerseys, so to brighten up their day is lovely. When we go out on the pitch, if we win or lose that determines our happiness for that day. Seeing the smiles on the faces of the children when we bring in the cup, well that puts everything in perspective." After leaving Dublin, the new All-Ireland champions will first stop off in Athlone stop in Athlone, where the players and the O'Duffy Cup will make that symbolic walk across the Shannon. The team will then head to Ballinasloe and the celebrations will continue at the home club of captain Carrie Dolan in Clarinbridge.
