Clare boss Davy Fitzgerald adopted a pragmatic approach when reflecting on his side's relegation to Division 1B of the hurling leagues.

The Banner finished on the wrong end of the 1-18 to 1-17 scoreline in Nowlan Park today and, speaking to The Irish Times, Fitzgerald said: "Ah sure listen, we are not happy about it but Cork went down there, Limerick went down there, Dublin went down there.

"I think the whole thing is up for review again [not until the end of next season] anyhow so hopefully there will be a bit of sense seen in it.

"I don't think we are a Division 1B team but if we are to play there we won't have a complaint in Clare, we will do what we have to do, no problem.

"But I would like to see a bit of common sense thrown into this. I think Limerick have spent long enough down in Division 1B as well as Wexford have, so it's maybe time for a change.

"But if we've to go down, we'll go down, there's no hassle.

"It's all about from May onwards, that's when the thing starts really heating up and we have work to do."
