Overview
Division 1
The National Hurling League's top division featured sixteen teams divided into two groups - 1A and 1B. Each group consisted of eight teams. In spite of a poor standing in the group stages, having won just three of their seven games, Cork won their third league title in four seasons. Limerick, who were league runners-up, actually finished above Cork in the group stage, however, they fell to 'the Rebels' in the final.[1]
Down at the other end of the tables, Dublin won just one of their group stage games and were relegated to Division 1B. They swapped places with Galway who, having enjoyed an unbeaten run in the group stage, topped Division 1B and gained promotion to the top eight in Division 1A for the following season. Westmeath lost all seven of their group stage games and finished bottom of Division 1B, however, they were not relegated to Division 2 as there was no promotion or relegation between these two separate divisions.
