Antrim hurling boss Darren Gleeson knows that relegation to the Joe McDonagh Cup would be a huge setback for the county, but insists Westmeath’s stunning victory over Wexford hasn’t altered their preparation for Sunday’s must-win clash in Cusack Park.
A win for Antrim coupled with a defeat for Wexford against Kilkenny would see the Model County relegated on the head-to-head rule against Westmeath.
The Saffrons need a win to save their own skin while Westmeath will go down if Wexford gain a win or a draw at home to the Cats and Joe Fortune’s men lose to Antrim.
