Down face a pivotal round two trip to Kildare on Sunday as they bid to pick up their first points of their Allianz Hurling League Division 2A campaign.
Ronan Sheehan’s side lost out to Offaly at Ballycran in their League opener last Sunday with the Faithful coming away from McKenna Park with a 0-21 to 0-18 win.
Should Offaly and Kerry defeat Derry and Carlow respectively, there’s the prospect of three teams opening up a four-point advantage at the top of the table if Down also lose to Kildare.
