National Hurling League Division 1B: Dublin 6-32 Down 0-18In the end, Dublin's giant scoreline almost matched the early evening time as the promotion-chasing Sky Blues kept their hopes of Division 1A hurling in 2027 alive. It may all count for nothing in promotion terms if Wexford, who play Clare tomorrow in Ennis, win their remaining games. Dublin outscored Down by 2-2 to 0-1 from the 33rd minute to the interval with Hetherton grabbing his second goal having netted Dublin's opening goal in the ninth minute. Down scorers: Paul Sheehan 0-7 (0-5f, 0-01 65), Daithí Sands 0-3, Finn Turpin 0-3, Tim Prenter 0-1, Tom McGrattan 0-1, Caolan Taggart 0-1, Liam Savage 0-1, Shea Pucci 0-1. DUBLIN: Eddie Gibbons; John Bellew, Conor McHugh, Cathal Kennedy; Conor Burke, Chris Crummey, Paddy Dunleavy; Darragh Power, Conal Ó Riain; Fergal Whitely, Donal Burke, James Madden; Dara Purcell, John Hetherton, Diarmaid Ó Dúlaing.
