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.
