Cunningham: Don’t demote Dubs

Don’t allow Dublin slide into the second tier — that was the plea from Galway manager Anthony Cunningham after his side beat Dublin in the relegation decider in Portlaoise on Saturday evening last.

“I hope they look at the system again,” he said.

“No disrespect to any other team but Dublin shouldn’t be down there. Hurling has improved so much in the capital. We need Dublin in the top flight. We need all those matches in Croke Park under lights.”
