Competitions

Dr McKenna Cup

Шаблон:Main Down made a strong start to their 2013 campaign with McKenna Cup group victories over Cavan and neighbouring county Armagh. Queen's University withdrew from the competition over a row regarding player availability and the fixture was simply written off. Down progressed into the latter stages of the McKenna Cup but fell short, against Monaghan, of a place in the final.

National Football League Division 1

Шаблон:Main Down looked deserving relegation favourites in the National Football League Division 1, as they lost their first three games, two of which were at home. Down looked close to beating Cork at home but fell to a very late goal. A comeback looked on the cards as Down went out and beat Mayo at Páirc Esler; however, defeats to Kerry and Dublin sealed Down's fate and relegation was a certainty despite an impressive 3–13 to 1-12 hammering of Kildare in Newry.

Ulster Senior Football Championship

Fixtures

The draw for the 2013 Ulster Senior Football Championship took place on 4 October 2012.

Having got to the 2012 Ulster final, Down started their Cup run away to Derry at Celtic Park. In what was regarded as one of the games of the summer, Down came out victors having been five points down at half-time. The semi-final paired last year's finalists again in what would be a closely fought affair. Donegal maintained a two-point lead throughout the match and eventually won 12 points to 9.
