Adam Crimmins saves Down from Louth comeback at the death in Newry
All-Ireland SFC: Down 0-25 Louth 0-24 Adam Crimmins's last-gasp block will live long in the memory of those who witnessed Down's nail-biting derby win over Louth . With the hooter already sounded and just a single point separating the sides, Louth midfielder Tommy Durnin looked to have rescued a draw only to be spectacularly denied by Crimmins's two palms. Finn Murdock booted the ball out on the full and cue the roar that relieved the tension-filled 70 minutes deserved. Credit to Louth, who came from as far back as 11 points to boil it down to one final play, but they will wonder where that energy was in the first half. READ MORE Odhrán Murdock set the tone from the off, while Louth were once again ponderous in attack and had to rely on a ninth-minute free from captain Sam Mulroy to get off the mark. That score, stemming from a rare Down infringement, was the only blemish on the hosts' scorching opening. With 15 minutes played in the first half, Down were in full flow and Louth were floundering.

Photograph: Ryan Byrne/Inpho Conor Laverty's men stormed into a commanding 0-11 to 0-1 lead, a quiet Pat Havern only opening his account that late into proceedings. Danny Magill was excellent, that was the form Down were in. Hitting Louth on the break, the home crowd humming, Down were finding their groove with ease. Ryan Burns did hand Louth a lifeline and what was to come with three first-half points to make 0-16 to 0-7 at the much-needed interval. With the challenge presented, Louth had to change tact. More direct play and greater bravery in shooting from beyond the arc stirred them to life. Mulroy had a huge second half, four orange flags that took a chunk out of what most felt was an insurmountable lead. However, Magill was on hand to coral Louth's hopes with scores, and wides even, to halt their momentum somewhat but the surge was to come. Three two-pointers in a row from Mulroy, Craig Lennon, and Durnin had the home side rattled. With 10 to play, the FRC were rubbing their hands with glee, this one-sided contest became dashing. You could not look away as Louth continued to come with long range shots. Excitement personified. One final twist was to come, just when it looked like a dramatic draw was on the cards, Crimmins delivered the block of the season to preserve Down's unbeaten start. DOWN: R Burns; P Laverty, P McCarthy, F McElroy; R Magill (0-0-1), P Fagan, M Rooney (0-0-1); O Murdock (0-2-1, 1tpf, 1f), D Magill (0-1-4); J Guinness, P Havern (0-1-4, 1f), C Doherty (0-0-1); J McGeough (0-0-1), R McEvoy; A Crimmins (0-0-2).

LOUTH: N McDonnell; D Nally, D Campbell, D McKenny; C Lennon (0-1-1), P Lynch, C McKeever (0-0-1); B Duffy, T Durnin (0-1-0), C Downey (0-0-2), S Mulroy (0-4-4, 2tpf, 3f), C Grimes (0-0-1); C Keenan, C Byrne, R Burns (0-0-3).

Down edge Louth for second All-Ireland group stage win
Down made it two wins from two in the group stage of the All-Ireland series as they survived a late Louth fightback to win 0-25 to 0-24 at Pairc Esler. After a delayed start to the game in Newry, Odhran Murdock kicked a fine two pointer a minute into the game to set Conor Laverty's men on their way. Advertisement They added two more points before a free from Sam Mulroy got Louth on the board after eight minutes. Two two-pointers from Danny Magill and Murdock further stretched Down's lead and they eventually moved nine clear before Niall McDonnell was thwarted by Ryan McEvoy in front of goal. Louth rattled off four points in a row to cut the gap, but a late scoring blitz helped Down to lead 0-16 to 0-7 at half-time. Two two-pointer and another effort from Mulroy helped the Leinster champions to chip away at Down's lead, reducing it to six points, but three in a row from the hosts helped them to re-establish their advantage. Advertisement Donal McKenny hit the post for Louth with Mulroy, Craig Lennon and Tommy Durnin scoring three straight two-pointers for the visitors as they moved to within three points of the Mournemen. Louth had the momentum and got back to within one, before Mulroy's attempt after the hooter was blocked as Down held on for a narrow win. Having comfortably dispatched Clare in their first game, the Mournemen are in a commanding position ahead of facing Monaghan at a neutral venue in the final round of group games in a fortnight.

Low scoring stuff so far, with Mayo, whilst in front, mainly culpable for wastage in front of the posts. 5 minutes ago All-Ireland Senior Football Championship FULL TIME - Down 0-25 Louth 0-24 From 11 points adrift, Louth end up on the losing end of a single point defeat to Down in Newry. Two defeats in two now for the Leinster champions. Ultimately, they left themselves with too much to do. First half performances need to improve, surely. Down follow up their big win over Clare with a win of a different kind. Patrick Havern and Danny Magill produced 0-6 each. 14 minutes ago All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Down 0-24 Louth 0-22 68' - Four of Louth's last five scores have been two-pointers - all from the boots of important players Sam Mulroy (twice), Craig Lennon and Tommy Durnin. Louth have not been this close to Down since the opening minutes. An extraordinary comeback. 18 minutes ago All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Down 0-23 Louth 0-15 With 12 points between them, Sam Mulroy and Ryan Burns are leading the Louth charge but Down have a comfortable enough lead with around 10 minutes to play. Donal McKenny has had a goal-bound effort come off the upright in the last few minutes too. A point by Shay Miller has Down up by a surely unassailable eight. 21 minutes ago All-Ireland Senior Football Championship 46' - Roscommon 2-9 Meath 0-18 Roscommon trail Meath by just three points but they have passed up a major opportunity to draw level as Enda Smith's penalty is saved by Billy Hogan. 23 minutes ago All-Ireland Senior Football Championship 6' Tyrone 0-1 Mayo 0-1 It's taken over five minutes but we have scores on the board in Omagh. Michael McKernan bursts though the lines and fires over before Rory Brickenden scores a first Championship point for Mayo. 27 minutes ago This is how Malachy O'Rourke is lining out his Tyrone team tonight. Only three days ago, the Red Hand enjoyed a stunning All-Ireland victory at Under 20 level. Eoin McElholm scored 2-4 on Wednesday night and is in reserve here. Incidentally, David Coldrick of Meath is the referee. 32 minutes ago There are four changes to the Mayo XV previously advertised as they face Tyrone at O'Neills Healy Park in Omagh tonight. The teams are on the field and throw-in is just moments away. Mayo GAA on Twitter / X Changes to the Mayo senior football team. Mayo GAA (@MayoGAA) May 31, 2025 37 minutes ago All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Down 0-17 Louth 0-10 Sam Mulroy - who else? - has cut Down's lead from 10 points to seven in no time at all. Can Louth get back into the game in Newry? 38 minutes ago In the Tailteann Cup this evening, Offaly hold a narrow lead over Laois and Waterford are beating Wicklow. Both of those games are at half-time. Earlier in the day, Limerick booked their place in the quarter-finals. Read the match report below. Limerick advance to Tailteann Cup quarter-finals with first-ever win over Westmeath Limerick senior footballers recorded their first-ever competitive win against Westmeath in Portlaoise, thereby advancing directly to the quarter-finals of the Tailteann Cup. 40 minutes ago Look away if you're of a Cork persuasion - but this is worth looking at again. A brilliant double save from Shane Ryan and then a fantastic block from Brian Ó Beaglaoich keeps Mark Cronin at bay three times. Had that been scored, Cork might have sensed a comeback was on the cards in front of a home crowd. GAA+ on Twitter / X BIG MOMENT! 😮👀Cork miss a penalty and Kerry keep them out!Football clips brought to you by @AIB_GAA #TheToughest GAA+ (@GAAPlusOfficial) May 31, 2025 43 minutes ago A big moment for the Big Apple. New York captain Johnny Glynn, left, and James Breen lift the Lory Meagher Cup at Croke Park earlier this afternoon. 48 minutes ago Big news line coming out this evening. Davy Fitzgerald has been handed an eight-week suspension after his comments aimed at match official Johnny Murphy earlier this month. Read the full story below. Davy Fitzgerald banned for eight weeks for post-match comments after Antrim's loss to Galway Antrim manager Davy Fitzgerald has been suspended for eight weeks by the GAA for 'misconduct considered to have discredited the Association'. 51 minutes ago Christy Ring Cup final FULL TIME - Derry 1-24 London 1-27 Cahal Murray went for goal from a 20 metre free deep into injury time, but he couldn't find the net. From the subsequent 65, Derry sent goalkeeper Sean Kelly forward and he had an effort blocked down. High drama with Derry chasing only a goal to force extra-time but they couldn't fin it. It would be unkind to begrudge London the victory after that performance. 13 hours after their last victory in this competition, they've repeated the trick. Cormac O'Doherty hit nine points, eight from frees, with his consistency and accuracy from the boot proving crucial in the end. 59 minutes ago Christy Ring Cup final 70' Derry 1-24 London 1-25 Almost over at Croker and Derry trail by one. Unanswered scores by Ryan McGill, Richie Mullen, Ruairi O'Mianain and Eamonn Conway have given them a glimmer of hope. Today 01:28 PM All-Ireland Senior Football Championship FULL TIME - Cork 0-20 Kerry 1-28 David Clifford has just been named the GAA+ Man of the Match, with 1-8 to his name. In the last few minutes, Tony Brosnan and Tom O'Sullivan have added two-pointers - bringing the team's tally to six in the match. The hooter is followed soon by the whistle and Cork's championship woes go on. Kerry beat their great rivals again. Today 01:25 PM All-Ireland Senior Football Championship HALF TIME - Down 0-16 Louth 0-7 Derry have racked up a very sizeable 16 points in the first half against Louth - including two two-point scores. Louth have been a second half team for the most part this year but Ger Brennan will need a orchestrate a major turnaround to get back into contention at Pairc Esler. Ryan Burns' point on the whistle keeping them in it, just. Today 01:21 PM Christy Ring Cup final 60' Derry 1-20 London 1-23 London continue to lead Derry in the Christy Ring Cup final but it remains a one-score game. Too close to call at this stage. Derry have lost this game four times in the last decade and they need to find something soon to end that dire record. 2012 champions London are 10 minutes from another success. Today 01:19 PM All-Ireland Senior Football Championship 64' - Cork 0-18 Kerry 1-23 Such drama! Mark Cronin fails to beat Shane Ryan with a penalty as the goalkeeper dives to his left to help it onto the post. Then he saves again from Cronin and a third effort from the full-forward is blocked. Amazing. Cork fail to reduce the arrears as the clock ticks down. And Kerry - still - having conceded a goal in this year's Championship. Live Blog Software
