Eamon Burns wasn't giving anything away about his future as Down manager after a dismal season ended with an extra-time defeat to Longford on Saturday.

The 3-17 to 2-24 All-Ireland SFC qualifier loss in Newry brought the curtain down on a year in which the once-mighty Mounremen failed to win a single league or championship game.

"Well, we're not going to make a knee-jerk reaction. We'll contemplate over the next week or two and see where we are," Burns told reporters.

"It's disappointing. I'm very disappointed for the boys. I thought they worked very hard today and I thought at the end of the normal time we could have got a result, but that's the way it goes.

"It went to extra-time and Longford finished the stronger."
