|  Paul Braniff picked up the knee injury in New York last weekend | Down hurlers have suffered a huge blow ahead of next weekend's Guinness Ulster Final against Antrim with the news that Paul Braniff will be out for 12 months. Braniff sustained a cruciate ligament injury in last weekend's semi-final win over New York in the Big Apple. The Jordanstown student has emerged as a huge talent over the last two years and his absence is a big blow for Down.
