Conor Laverty insists he won’t have a problem getting his players motivated for their forthcoming Tailteann Cup campaign after Sunday’s Ulster SFC semi-final loss to Armagh in Clones.
The Mournemen shipped four goals in a 10-point loss to the in-form Orchardmen. The result means Down missed out on the opportunity to snag one of the last remaining slots in the so-called ‘Super 16s’ and will instead have a second tilt at the Tailteann Cup.
Under previous manager James McCartan, they bowed out at the first hurdle when losing out to Cavan in Kingspan Breffni. With a new round-robin format in place, Down are determined to give a good account of themselves this time around.
