#EnergiaAIL Men’s Divisions: Promotion/Relegation Play-Off Results Round-Up

Sligo were the only team to win away from home in today’s Energia All-Ireland League play-offs, relegating Old Crescent in the process. Intriguingly, old rivals UCD and Dublin University will meet in the Division 1A promotion/relegation play-off final, while the Division 1B decider will be a Munster derby between UCC and Shannon.
