Relegation Playoffs

edit

The Losers of these matches will play Intermediate Hurling in 2007. There will be 15 teams playing senior hurling in 2007 plus a divisional team. The Knockainey - Dromin Athlacca match may be called off for some time due to the shock death of the Knockainey full back William O'Brien to Sudden Adult Death Syndrome the night before the proposed meeting of the two clubs.
