Hurling round-up: All to play for in final rounds for Joe McDonagh, Kildare head into Christy Ring final as hot favourites

2022 Joe McDonagh Hurling Cup Round 4 - Shane Conway Kerry (Blue ) and Paddy Delaney Offaly in action during the game.

There will be plenty on the line in all three final round games in the Joe McDonagh Cup, after Carlow picked up a crucial win over Down while Antrim recorded a landslide victory over Meath at the weekend.

Despite losing four games in a row now, Meath can still avoid relegation to Christy Ring Cup competition if they beat Down next week, though their confidence will be on the floor after they shipped a 7-29 to 3-13 beating against Antrim at Páirc Tailteann yesterday.
