By my reckoning Louth would need to reach the Leinster final and Down beat Westmeath next weekend to qualify for the All Ireland series via their league position.
Or, they will need to beat Antrim and Armagh to qualify via the Ulster championship.
By contrast Downs opponents today, Clare only have to beat a division 4 opponent Tipp or Waterford, to guarantee a 2nd seed position in the All Ireland series.
Definitely a flaw in the system.
