With just over a week to go before Down's All-Ireland Camogie final with Cork at Croke Park on Sunday 19th September the Down County Board has been working away feverously to have everything set for the trip to Dublin, and according to Down Chairperson Ben Fox, preparations are just about complete.

"The County Board has had a small team working away in the background and basically they have looked after all the arrangements as far as the team are concerned, from the hotel to travel arrangements, to ordering gear, sponsorship agreements and deals as well as dealing with the media. I have to say it has taken a lot of pressure off the County Board. From what the group told us at the County Board meeting last week, preparations are virtually complete ahead of the final."

At that meeting it was announced that Down Camogie had secured a footwear and kit deal but details are being kept to a minimum ahead of an announcement in the week of the final.
