Down relegated to Division 3 despite win over Tipperary, while Meath survive

Meath enjoyed an eight-point win over Louth.

DOWN WILL PLY their trade in Division 3 next season, despite defeating Tipperary by 2-11 to 1-11 in their final league game.

Goals from Sean Dornan and Donal O’Hare (penalty) handed the Ulster side the three-point win at Pairc Esler. Dornan’s goal arrived after 15 seconds and it helped Down to a 1-7 to 0-6 half-time lead.

Michael Quinlivan found the back of the net yet again in this campaign to bring the Premier level shortly after half-time, but O’Hara buried a late penalty to seal the win.

Meath survived in the second tier courtesy of a 1-12 to 0-7 win over already-relegated Louth.

Donal Lenihan bagged 1-1 in the closing stages to put some gloss on the scoreline as Louth were well in the game throughout.

    Glad it’s not serious but definitely not going to be good for his preparation though.

    @Brendan Heery: it means he needs to backload the km and the height metres in the interim also. That said I’d say he’ll be ok.

    Chances of the Colombian with an Irish sounding name to be their man ?
