Cork and Down headline football's big day
September 14, 2010It will be a first ever All-Ireland final meeting between Cork and Down - indeed they have only met once before in the championship back in 1994 when Down won a semi-final by five points.
Cork are seeking their 7th All-Ireland senior title - and their first since 1990 - while Down are seeking their 6th and their first since 1994. Down have the distinction of having won all five finals they reached in 1960-61-68-91-94. Cork have appeared in four finals since winning their last one in 1990 but lost in 1993-99-2007-2009.
