Massive win for Cavan defeating Wicklow by 5. Its not that long ago when Cavan didn't even field a county team.

GAA was considering disbanding them a few years ago!!

Looking like the finals could be

Div 1a
Tipperary v Cork

Div 1b
Offaly v Waterford

Div 2
Down v Kildare

Div 3
London v Mayo

Div 4
Louth v Leitrim

Will all these be in Croker like the football finals?

Fermanagh now in prime position after defeating Leitrim today.

These divisional finals totally unnecessary. Free up the week for teams to prepare.

Before or after they disbanded themselves?

With all the lower tier championship finals in Croke Park, I don't feel any vibe or push for the hurling league finals being staged there. With all teams having 3 home games and 3 away games, there is an argument in hurling league for giving the top team home advantage but that's a minor point and not all would be in favour.

D1A: Clare and Wexford still occupy the relegation spots.
D1B: Offaly promoted. Waterford expected to join them in the final. Laois and Westmeath facing relegation. Carlow will be strong favourites for the McDonagh.
D2: Down in the final. Kildare expected to join them. Tyrone relegated. Meath, Kerry, Donegal and Derry on 4 points each.
D3: London promoted. Wicklow v Mayo in the final game effectively a semi-final.
