Davy Fitzgerald has hit back at the Antrim “knockers” after his team fell through the Leinster SHC relegation trap door when losing to Offaly by five points in Tullamore.
The defeat has placed a huge question mark over the future of a manager who has endured the long trek from Clare to Antrim all season and is now staring at life in the second tier Joe McDonagh Cup in 2026.
