No fear of leagues being hurt

The GAA trust managers will uphold the integrity of the leagues over the next couple of Sundays amid fears of a rash of ‘dead rubber’ fixtures.

Their expression comes as Dublin’s Ryan O’Dwyer insists the result of this Sunday’s game against Waterford is irrelevant to them.

In Division 1B, there is speculation Clare could field a weakened team against Offaly, having already qualified for the final.
