New York were unlucky to be narrowly defeated by a close to full strength Down team going down 2-06 to 2-08. Johnny Murtagh was the star of the night bagging 1-05 for the exiles whilst Marty Clarke will be sure to earn the wrath of Seamus Dooley after taking the paint of both sides of the posts with two screamers that were unlucky to go in, he later compensated with a fine penalty and some superb individual scores. James Huvane and Down exile Brendan Mc Gourty were the pick of the New York rearguard whilst Carew and Power did some great work around the middle of the field whilst Murtagh tormented Dan Gordon and the Down backs most of the evening. Jason Kelly's second half goal gave some hope to the large crowd in attendance but the All Ireland runners up did just enough to hold off a spirited New York preformance.
