Waterford will play in the second tier Division 1B next season following their defeat to Wexford.

The result, their third straight loss, means they can’t finish any higher than fifth as Cork are ahead of them courtesy of beating them in Round 3 and the Déise will compete in the seven-team group, which equates to a second division.
