GAA National Leagues: Promotion and relegation issues will become clearer after weekend action
In Division One, Donegal's place in the final will be sealed with a victory on Sunday away to Roscommon [13:30].Jim McGuinness' side currently lead the way and with third-place Kerry hosting second-place Mayo on Saturday [16:00], the Ulster champions will know what they have to do prior to throw-in.It is much tighter at the opposite end of the table where Monaghan must defeat Galway in Inniskeen on Sunday [15:45] to give themselves any chance of avoiding the drop.The second relegation place is much less certain but a Galway win will ease their worries, while a key game in this battle takes place at Croke Park on Saturday evening [19:00] when Dublin host Armagh.Kieran McGeeney's side currently sit second from bottom, two points adrift of the Dubs and Galway who meet in the final round, so they know they must avoid defeat to give themselves any chance on the final day."Armagh know they are in a bit of a dogfight and although they haven't got the results they'd want, they have been playing well," Meyler said."Dublin are in bad need of a result as well, so who ever loses this one will be in a tricky spot for relegation."I'd just about tip Armagh to get over the line."In Division Three, Down have already sealed their promotion with five wins from five and Conor Laverty's side will seek to maintain their fine form when they travel to face Sligo on Sunday [14:00].Should they do so, it will give Fermanagh an outside chance of beating the drop, but only if they have beaten Laois on Saturday [18:00] and Limerick draw away to Westmeath on Sunday to set up a possible three-way tie by the end of the campaign.Those odds look long, just as Antrim's hopes of an unlikely promotion from Division Four.After a nightmare start, Mark Doran's side have put together back-to-back wins and a victory away to Waterford on Sunday [13:00) may keep them alive, but only if a host of results fall their way.
