Late goal secures victory for Down

PRESSURE: Down's Kevin McKernan comes under pressure from Armagh's Stefan Campbell, left, and Mark Shields during last night's Allianz League match at the Athletic Grounds in Armagh. Down scored a late goal to clinch a 2-7 to 2-5 victory. It was also a big match day for Down midfielder Kalum King who had hoped that holding his wedding on a Friday would avoid a clash with his hectic sporting schedule. He was astonishingly unlucky to find that his big day fell on the same date as a county match - the first ever time that a league game has been played on a Friday. King tied the knot with his Fermanagh bride Maria Scallon at St Joseph's Church in Ederney.
