Five teams in contention to make Division One final while four remain in danger of relegation
Five teams remain in contention to make the Division 1 final, while four teams are still in danger of joining Derry in dropping to Division 2 next season.
Northern neighbours Tyrone and Armagh are battling to get away from that second relegation spot, and if they both get wins this weekend could pull Mayo and Kerry into that fight . Down and Louth need to win this weekend, and even that may not be enough for one of them to avoid the drop. Losses for both would see Down relegated by virtue of their one-point defeat to Louth in Round 4. Should they both win, and Cork suffer a defeat to Cavan, then it’s a three-way scoring-difference shoot-out.Offaly are well placed to secure promotion to Division Two, but face a tricky test against fellow-contenders Clare in their final game.
In the relegation race, there’s no saving Leitrim. With no points to their credit after six rounds, they’re heading to Division 4. Joining them could be Antrim, Sligo or Laois. A loss for Antrim against Kildare would make all other results irrelevant, sending them down to Division 4 for next year.Division 4
A loss for Limerick and a win for Wicklow gives the promotion spot to Oisín McConville’s charges, but a draw for Wicklow would bring it down to scoring difference between the two counties seeing as their Round 6 clash ended in a draw. Limerick v Waterford, London v Carlow, Longford v Wexford, Tipperary v Wicklow.Aside from promotion and relegation, the final league standings will also determine whether counties compete for the Sam Maguire or the Tailteann Cup this year.
