Pearse Óg McCrickard scored a brilliant 15 points as Down defeated Kildare in Hawkfield to preserve their status in the McDonagh Cup next year, while sending their hosts plummeting through the trapdoor and down to Christy Ring level.

Carlow ran out 13-point winners over Down in Ballycran to put themselves right in the hunt for an All-Ireland SHC place next weekend against Offaly.
