Six in the mix as league hots-up

APART from the two teams — Wexford and Offaly — in the relegation battle this Sunday in Division 1, which itself is a huge game for both counties, every other team has a chance of making the league final.

I can’t remember this kind of situation for many a year, and even if the clock going forward and the sun shining isn’t enough, that on its own should bring the crowds out. Top team Dublin plays second-placed Galway, Kilkenny in third faces Waterford in fourth, and fifth-place Tipperary takes on sixth side Cork with only three points separating them all.

If that doesn’t attract the crowds, I don’t know what will.
