Down manager Ross Carr believes that it would take a shock of mammoth proportion for London to defeat the Ulster side in the All-Ireland qualifiers. The Mourne County have home advantage against the exiles next Saturday evening and Down go into the match as overwhelming favourites to advance to the second round. Carr acknowledges the fact that his side need to win this match if they are to show any progression since the former county star took over as manager. "If we can react properly this time and address and approach it as a job to be done, then we should come through it. I'll put it like this if we don't I'll be in London next year," stressed Carr to the Irish Post. "This is a game we should win. If we have any sort of desire to progress through the qualifiers it's a game that we have to win and also put down a marker in." Tweet
