Laois, Down, Kildare, Louth and Armagh should progress in respective competitions
On the face of it, an evenly balanced contest between Offaly, who stayed in Division Three and their neighbours who will be joining them next season. Strangely this fixture has been one-way traffic for over 20 years and Offaly haven’t won since 2002 and it’s even longer – 1978 – since they won in Portlaoise. They’re also a little understrength for this with the experience of Anton Sullivan and Nigel Dunne, injured and suspended, respectively.
– An intriguing contest between Ger Brennan’s Louth who did well to shrug off the mantle of relegation favourites in Division Two and a Wexford side who took off into hyperspace half way through the league and were most unlucky not to get promotion, as they scored buckets in a resounding finish to the campaign. John Hegarty’s team took up championship where they’d left off, buckling Carlow last week. It could be close enough but Louth’s superior status can assert itself.
