On this week's Newry Reporter Sports Podcast Weekend Preview Show, we look ahead to the big game: Down v Armagh.

Our sports reporters Elaine Ingram and Kieran Lynch speak to former Down captain Kevin McKernan (01:01) and former Armagh goalkeeper Philip McEvoy (13:47).

Kevin McKernan says that he believes Down 'can take a scalp' and he's hopeful that they have learned their lessons from last year's 10-point defeat.

Philip McEvoy says that although Armagh are favourites, they will have to be wary of Down as form can go out the window in these games. He also looked at the conundrum facing Kieran McGeeney at the goalkeeper position, following some great performances from Blaine Hughes.
