It's the club's second title in four seasons.
This year's destiny was fueled by previous defeats.
That's the view of The Down's manager Dermot Power as his side secured their second Westmeath Football Title in four years with a 4-12 to 1-15 win over Coralstown Kinnegad on Sunday.
Dean Egerton, Kevin O'Sullivan, Ian Martin and Jonathan Lynam got the all important goals for their side, while Luke Loughlin finished with 0-7.
They will now take on Tullamore in the quarter finals of the Leinster Championship next month.
Power says the journey to win has been a long stretch:
