Orchard County summons top-class performance to leave technically inferior Down in their slipstream

Ironically, in a match in which his side played second fiddle throughout, Havern emerged as the top scorer with six points , his accuracy having served to soften the blow somewhat as Down fell from grace. “Obviously we are delighted to be in the Ulster final at last. We have not been there for a number of years but this group of players have worked very hard to get us this far,” McKeever said.
