Dublin suffered relegation in the League for just the fourth time ever as a result of yesterday's defeat to Monaghan.
Granted, for many years of its existence, the League was played on a regional basis but since the early 1970s, with the exception of a couple of seasons in the 1990s, there has always been a Division One, varying from eight to 18 teams.
Regardless of its size, Dublin have invariably been in it though they have slipped out on occasions, suffering relegation in 1973, 1984, 1995 and now 2022.
