Hurling: County hurlers are relegated

County hurlers are relegated

The county senior hurlers have been relegated to Division Two NHL hurling next season after losing all five games in Division 1A against the likes of Waterford, Cork, Clare, Wexford and Offaly.

Their best performance in the competition was against Cork at home, when they gave the Munster side a real game on the day, and went under by 1-10 to 2-5.

With the league campaign now behind themthe Down side can concentrate on preparing for the Ulster SHC semi-final meeting with Derry, and also a good run in this season’s Christy Ring competition. With a full fit panel to choose from they are more than capable of doing well in these competitions in the weeks and months ahead.
