Dermot Power says every player in his squad is ready to fight for their place.
The Downs are well primed to defend their county title with some of their most seasoned campaigners overcoming injury issues as the club season reaches its climax.
That's according to their manager Dermot Power after they stormed into the Westmeath Senior Football final with a 5-17 to 2-13 victory over Moate All Whites on Saturday.
They now have the likes of Kevin O'Sullivan, Luke Loughlin and Jonathan Lynam back from lay offs after the opening stages of the club championship.
Power says the whole squad is now competing for those 15 starting places in under two week's time:
