CORK GO DOWN.
After extra time in a high scoring shoot out at the Limerick Gaelic Grounds last Sunday Cork hurlers were relegated to Division 1B of the NHL for 2014. It was a game that could have goner either way but Clare finished both the game and the extra time strongly. If Clare beat Waterford in the Munster Championship then Cork will have a chance to reverse the result in the Munster Semi Final in June.
