Exclamation Weird 1st gear downshifting issue

Hi All,

When slowing to a stop, if i try to downshift to 1st at 4-5mph, while braking hard, a rapid clicking noise can be heard and felt through the shifter. Not a grind, but an unusual click. If i try and move the shifter into 1st @6-10mph, it goes in smoothly with no fuss.
What's going on here? Is this just normal and should i ignore it? At first i assumed it was a worn synchro, but if it was that then it would be worse at higher speeds.
