Limerick suffer fourth successive camogie league loss against Down

The Shannonsiders have lost four on the trot in the second tier of the League with just one more round robin game to come.

Limerick suffered a fourth successive National Camogie league loss on Saturday afternoon with Down securing a 2-13 to 1-6 victory in their 1B clash.

It leaves Limerick bottom of the table without a win as they face Offaly this weekend in a repeat of last year’s relegation final. The Faithful county, like Limerick, are yet to win a game but did draw with Antrim.

Down dominated the opening half in Leitrim, taking a commanding 1-9 to 0-3 lead into the interval and while Limerick were improved in the second period, it wasn’t enough to overturn the deficit.

After reaching the All-Ireland quarter-final last year, Limerick are now in real danger of suffering a second successive relegation. Details on the Offaly fixture are yet to be confirmed.

It was also a poor weekend for the Junior side who were comprehensively beaten 4-12 to 0-4 by Dublin.
