Donegal – A point against Monaghan will guarantee them a final berth.<\/p>\n
Kerry – A draw with Armagh will see them into a second successive final.<\/p>\n
Mayo – A win over Roscommon combined with a defeat for one of the teams above them will put them into the decider.<\/p>\n
Roscommon – In the same boat as Mayo.<\/p>\n
Galway – A point at home to Dublin will be enough to stay up.<\/p>\n
Armagh – Matching Dublin\u2019s result in Salthill will save their bacon.<\/p>\n
Dublin – Bettering what Armagh do will keep them afloat. Equal it and a four-point win over Galway will ensure safety at Galway’s expense.<\/p>\n
Monaghan – Relegated.<\/p>\n
\n Division 2\n <\/p>\n
Cork – A point in Omagh will see them back in the elite eight for the first time in 10 years.<\/p>\n
Meath \u2013 Like Cork, a draw against relegated Offaly will be good enough to go up.<\/p>\n
Louth \u2013 Need one of the above to stumble. They have the head-to-head advantage on Derry but not against Cork and Meath.<\/p>\n
Derry \u2013 Have to beat Cavan and hope their superior score difference is a factor on 10 points or it’s just them and Cork on 10 points.<\/p>\n
Tyrone \u2013 A share of the spoils against Cork confirms their Division 2 status.<\/p>\n
Cavan \u2013 A win in Derry solves everything for them but if they finish tied with Kildare alone they will pip them on the head-to-head.<\/p>\n
Kildare \u2013 Must beat Louth in Newbridge and hope Derry overcome Cavan. Sam Maguire Cup entry is confirmed regardless.<\/p>\n
Offaly \u2013 Relegated.<\/p>\n
\n Division 3\n <\/p>\n
Down \u2013 Division 2 bound and almost sure to be into last 16 of the Sam Maguire Cup if they win the Division 3 final at the end of the month.<\/p>\n
Westmeath \u2013 A draw against Wexford in the de facto promotion semi-final will be enough.<\/p>\n
Wexford \u2013 Victory at home against The Lake County and it will be a second promotion in a row.<\/p>\n
Clare \u2013 Division 3 status confirmed for 2027.<\/p>\n
Laois \u2013 A result against Down will ensure Limerick can\u2019t catch them on score difference.<\/p>\n
Sligo \u2013 A victory over Clare guarantees safety.<\/p>\n
Limerick \u2013 See off Fermanagh and hope that Sligo trip up or they can nobble Laois with a heavy win.<\/p>\n
Fermanagh \u2013 Relegated.<\/p>\n
\n Division 4\n <\/p>\n
Carlow \u2013 Defeat Leitrim and they can\u2019t be touched.<\/p>\n
Wicklow \u2013 Claim the win in Longford and they will be promoted.<\/p>\n
London \u2013 Two points in Antrim and a combination of results elsewhere could see them ascend.<\/p>\n
Longford \u2013 Dismiss Wicklow and they will leapfrog them but they may need help elsewhere to go up.<\/p>\n
Antrim \u2013 Like their opponents London, it\u2019s a case of win and pray for the best.<\/p>\n
Tipperary \u2013 A big win over Waterford could put them in the frame. Again, it depends on other results.<\/p>\n
Leitrim \u2013 Beating Carlow would be a scalp and they have a remote chance of returning to Division 3.<\/p>\n
Waterford \u2013 Nothing tangible on the line.<\/p>\n
\n Division 1A\n <\/p>\n
Limerick \u2013 A point against Galway is sufficient to make the final.<\/p>\n
Cork \u2013 Similar to Limerick, a draw sends them into a second successive decider.<\/p>\n
Tipperary \u2013 A win over Kilkenny at least gives them a chance but score difference will probably prevent a late push for the final.<\/p>\n
Galway \u2013 Beat Limerick and combined with a Cork result against Offaly they will qualify for the decider.<\/p>\n
Kilkenny \u2013 Nothing but local bragging rights on the line against Tipp in Thurles this Saturday.<\/p>\n
Waterford \u2013 Relegated.<\/p>\n
Offaly \u2013 Relegated.<\/p>\n
\n Division 1B\n <\/p>\n
Clare \u2013 A final to look forward to next month.<\/p>\n
Dublin \u2013 Beating Carlow should be enough as they have the score difference edge on Wexford (they drew their round game).<\/p>\n
Wexford \u2013 Likely require a monumental win over Kildare and a favour from their Carlow neighbours.<\/p>\n
Kildare \u2013 A good campaign that might get better if they were to overtake Wexford.<\/p>\n
Antrim \u2013 Win their Ulster derby and they will avoid a fall.<\/p>\n
Carlow \u2013 Relegation calls if they don\u2019t get over Dublin and Antrim are victorious against Down.<\/p>\n
Down \u2013 Only a landslide win over Antrim and a bad defeat for Carlow can save them.<\/p>\n
\n Division 2\n <\/p>\n
Laois are promoted. Kerry, Meath or Westmeath will join them. Kerry face Meath in the final round in Trim while Westmeath meet bottom team Mayo. Two of them, London and Derry will go down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Donegal – A point against Monaghan will guarantee them a final berth.
