Four league quarter-finals at four different venues but only one place to begin: at a fifth venue where the most attractive fixture of the weekend takes place.

Should it have come to a relegation play-off for the All-Ireland champions and their immediate predecessors? Probably yes, even if both can point with some justification to narrow defeats in Salthill.
