However, due to the cold snap that has swept the north, the game has been moved to the Athletic Grounds in Armagh, with Armagh still down as the ‘away’ team.
The last time these two teams met was in the dramatic circumstances of an Ulster SFC semi-final, with the Orchard coming out on top thanks to a last-minute Jason Duffy point in Clones.
Down will be eager to lay down a statement as the Mournemen are aiming for promotion from Division Three of the National Football League this year.
Armagh, who are missing some key players this year, with Rian O’Neill and Niall Grimley ruled out for the year and Darragh McMullan sidelined with an injury, can use this tournament to try out new combinations of players to find a good fit in time for the League season.
