Brennan: Relegation would be a disaster

Relegation to the Christy Ring Cup would be a “catastrophe” for either Kerry or Offaly according to Laois boss, Eddie Brennan.

Kerry’s eight-point defeat to Brennan’s men last weekend has seen Saturday’s visit of Offaly to Austin Stack Park become a straight relegation fixture. The winner will retain their Joe McDonagh Cup status for 2020 with the loser relegated to hurling’s third tier.
