On Sunday we played Moate in the championship final in Rochfordbridge. In a closely contested first half The Downs aided with a slight breeze  were  ahead at halftime 0:3 to 0:1. The second half saw The Downs facing an increasing  wind, Moate were quickly on the attack and scored a goal to put them ahead, The Downs replied with a goal to equalise the scores however entering the final quarter we were now  playing into a gale and had difficulty getting the ball into scoring positions whereas  Moate were able to use the wind to score from out the field and move in to a winning position. Well done to both teams for serving up a final of the highest standard,
