I think you could potentially have 5 teams on 10 points

Wicklow need us to win or draw and they will be promoted with us because of the head to head with Laois. Interesting side note is McEntee and McConville will be sharing notes on both leitrim and waterford during the week.

Winner takes all in our derby with Leitrim. A draw will do us too. Leitrim did fantastic to win today so they'll be on a high. Id have them as favorites at home. The score difference could screw us.

Cracking last day, last year they changed the days and times of the games to make it very unfair so this year id imagine it will all the same time. Hoping Leitrim v Sligo is on GAAGO.

Four at most. Laois looking for a Leitrim win if they can win in London. Wicklow need a Sligo win or draw to edge Laois on head to head (again if Laois beat London).

Anyone see the Leitrim no4 near the end ? Disgraceful act but when it's down this level it's brushed over and we move on .

Sligo hold a two-point advantage over the other main promotion chasers, Leitrim, Wicklow and Laois, while Wexford, back on six points, have a miniscule chance.

A draw in Leitrim would be good enough for Tony McEntee's Sligo team but defeat would leave them sweating. If they were to lose and Laois won in London, they'd likely miss out as their scoring difference is currently just two points better off than the O'Moore County while Leitrim's would be guaranteed to be better.

Even if Wicklow win, along with Leitrim and Laois, to leave four teams on 10 points, Sligo would almost certainly miss out. In that scenario, Wicklow would need to be bettering Laois' winning margin by 19 points. In theory, bettering it by 18 points could be enough, but highest total scores for comes next after scoring difference and Laois hold the advantage there currently.


A draw in Leitrim will be enough for Paul Kilcoyne and Sligo
Laois will do what they can, a winning margin of more than a point in London, and hope for a favour from Andy Moran's Leitrim.

The fly in the ointment for them is Wicklow. If Sligo don't lose and Laois win, and Wicklow defeat Waterford, it will be Oisín McConville's side who go up as they have the head-to-head advantage over Laois.

If Sligo avoid defeat and Wicklow win, then it's a Crossmaglen one-two as McEntee and McConville's sides would populate the promotion places regardless of what Laois do in London.

Leitrim know that a win would all but guarantee their place in the league final. It would ensure that they finish above Sligo and even if Laois and Wicklow were to win, the latter would have to annihilate Waterford to overhaul them. Currently Leitrim's scoring difference is 23 points better than Wicklow's.

The fifth team that can go up is Wexford, but the Model County really would require a final day miracle.

They would need to defeat Carlow to move to eight points and they'd also require Sligo to beat Leitrim, Wicklow to lose in Waterford and Laois to lose in London.

That would leave Wexford, Wicklow, Leitrim and Laois all in a tie for second on eight points and it would come down to scoring difference. At just +2 currently, Wexford would also need some big winning and losing margins to come into play.

Lowry from Laois ended up on a stretcher and in Sligo hospital. Laois were trying to break out fast out of defence at the end and Lowry was taken out of it off the ball. I don't know what happened but the Leitrim player got black carded.

Wicklow and Sligo go up. How did Laois throw it away?

Andy Moran wasn't happy at the end of the game, felt the ref blew up a minute early.  Sets up the Connacht meeting very nicely providing they overcome London and New York.

Wicklow did well to claim a promotion spot, that win against Laois proved key.

Sligo score at end, lad took about 15 steps.

As in other games we made life far harder for ourselves than it needed to be, but they dug it out at the end when it looked to have slipped away so credit where credit is due. After 4-5 pretty bleak years at senior level to get promotion and back up to D3 was vital, so hopefully they can build on it and see where the championship will take us. Big disappointment for Leitrim when they were on top for much of the last 20 odd minutes.

Best of luck to our nicest Connacht neighbours in the Final.

Apparently Sligo and  Fermanagh have never won a national title. Wickford probably haven't either.

Sligo beat us 13 years ago for a league title
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea
