Michael Murphy has warned Donegal of the danger of dropping into the Tailteann Cup following a difficult 2023 season.
Donegal will compete in Division Two next year after being relegated earlier this year and if they were to finish at the lower end of the table they would be in peril dropping out of the All-Ireland race altogether.
Meath, for example, managed to stay in Division Two but their sixth place finish wasn’t enough to safeguard their place in the top tier after Clare reached the Munster final, while Kildare and Cork were also looking over their shoulder as certain results in the provincial series could have seen them demoted also.
