The Division 3 and 4 football league action gets underway this weekend.
1. Can Westmeath make a big statement? The inaugural Tailteann Cup champions will go into this Allianz football league campaign among the favourites for Division 3.
The big ask is promotion to Division 2 after just missing out with a third-place finish last year, as they prepare for a return to the All-Ireland series. Andy McEntee has swapped Meath for Antrim, Paddy Christie will be hoping to continue his bright start as Longford manager after delivering O’Byrne Cup glory, and John Hegarty is the man leading Wexfod for 2023.3. How will the novel 2020 provincial champions fare? Cavan and Tipperary seem to go hand-in-hand in recent seasons. They shared a Super Sunday in November 2020, both disregarding the tag of underdogs to end lengthy waits for provincial success in Ulster and Munster respectively.
Promotion to Division 2 — and in turn, All-Ireland SFC involvement — would be huge for both. But Westmeath, and plenty others, will undoubtedly have different ideas.
