Trevor Fletcher is busy preparing Down for a league semi-final against the O'Moore County.
A familiar face will be preparing the Down hurlers as they take on Laois for promotion to Division 1B next year.
Championship winning manager with Shinrone, Trevor Fletcher, is now coaching the men from Mourne under manager Ronan Sheehan.
The Ulster side tested both Laois and Carlow in league action so far this year but left each contest as the beaten side.
Fletcher says he's confident his team is good enough to test the O'Moore County hurlers again.
He tells David Hollywood Down are looking forward to the game:
The action in Portlaoise gets underway on Saturday at 3pm.
