Lar Wall's side and the Louth champions have both already enjoyed historic success this season.
The Downs are just one game away from booking a semi final date in Croke Park in the Leinster championship.
What's more they could be taking on Offaly's champions, Rhode if both win their quarter finals.
Standing in the way of all of that will be St Mary's Ardee of Louth who have already beaten Longford's champions Colmcilles.
Gerry Buckley picked out The Downs as county champions early in the season and starts his preview with David Hollywood by laying out the historical context at play:
