The Westmeath champions led Ratoath comfortably until they were reduced to 14 men.
"A magical day" is how The Downs' manager remembers his side's victory over Ratoath in Croke Park this year.
However the Westmeath champions were to suffer a heavy defeat at the hands of Kilmacud Crokes at the same venue in the final a fortnight later.
Their semi final clash with Meath's Ratoath side was a dramatic affair with The Downs winning by a single score after being reeled in after being reduced to 14 men.
Despite the being on the ropes a few times, Lar Wall says winning in Croke Park was special:
