It means that, as usual, everything is to play for over the final two weekends of league action. I wondered on Saturday if Cork were coming, but instead they suffered a damaging defeat in Derry. They sit on -7 points, whereas Meath are on 18 points and Derry an incredible 46 points. They now head for The Campus in Quinta da Lago in Portugal this week with a major cloud over their heads. On the positive side they will have time and space to process, discuss and try to fix it.
