Pulsating encounter in Newry decided by last-gasp fisted point
Sat Mar 15 2025 - 21:01side which has been very unfortunate throughout the campaign. In what was a pulsating encounter in Newry, the home team won out with a last-gasp fisted point from sub Adam Crimmins.
A Luke Loughlin one-point free put Westmeath three clear, but Down wiped this out in one fell swoop in the 17th minute when a fine movement ended with John McGeough palming the ball to the net. If the first half was good, the second half was even better, with the lead changing hands regularly and both sides spurning goal chances while also kicking some great points.
The lead continued to yo-yo as the half progressed. The teams were still level when Brian Cooney was denied a three-pointer in the 58th minute. A rapid-fire brace of two-pointers from Havern put the Mourne County men ahead by a goal.
