Down chairman Seamus Walsh insists he has "no problem" with the appointment of David Coldrick as referee for the All-Ireland football final.

The Meath official, who will take charge of his second Sam Maguire Cup decider, was chosen ahead of Galway's Gearoid O Conomha, while Donegal's Jimmy White was also believed to be in the running.

"Certainly, I would have no problem at all with David Coldrick refereeing our final," Walsh said.

"He's a good referee, but at the end of the day, it will be down to our boys on the field to win the game, not the referee. We'd have no concern with that whatsoever.

"Whoever is appointed, we'd be happy enough to go with. We're just happy to be in the All-Ireland final." Tweet
