Leinster championship 2024

[Riseagain]

Personally I found this very suspicious and honestly think it was done to prevent uproar of a traditional leinster Championship side being relegated to the joe mcdonagh cup, the same happened after laois beat dublin in 2019 they increased the number of teams in the Leinster championship

You do have a very good point I think that the gaa are afraid that the structures would be questioned if the likes of Wexford were relegated.

championships, Wexford
and Waterford both looked
to have backed themselves into a

Wexford had capitulated against
Westmeath in the penultimate round,
losing a 16-point lead to put their Liam

a Kilkenny team that was virtually as-
sured of a Leinster final place by then
anyway but were not of a mind to be
benevolent to their neighbours.
Further down the south coast, Wa-
terford were in a bind that didn't have
the spectre of relegation from the top
tier hanging over them but with loss-

pounded. However on the same Sun-
day afternoon, a couple of hours apart
there was resurrection.
Wexford, powered on by a tour de
force from Lee Chin, especially in the
final 10 minutes when the pressure
was at its most intense, survived with
a magnificent win over Kilkenny.
And Waterford delivered only their
second round-robin win in the four
years of its existence by springing a
