I think that Dessie Dolan will be cheering for the Orange men.
In the extremely unlikely event Down qualify for Ulster final, Westmeath would drop out of Sam, unless they can beat both Wicklow, Kildare and Louth(most likely) and qualify for Leinster final themselves. In that case Louth drop out of Sam.
Kildare must get to Leinster final in order to qualify for Sam in which case Westmeath drop out of Sam.
If Down and Kildare can somehow reach provincial final both Westmeath and Louth drop out of Sam.
As long as Down or Kildare or Sligo don't reach their privincial finals Westmeath qualify.
If Sligo, Down and Kildare can reach their provincial finals then Westmeath, Louth and Cork drop out of Sam. Meath stay as Tailteann Cup winners.
If Sligo, Down, Kildare and Cork qualify for provincial finals then westmeath, louth and Cavan drop out unless Cavan reach Ulster final in which case Monaghan drop out.
Not to upset my fellow Ulster Gaels, if Fermanagh or Antrim qualify for Ulster final same outcome as if Down were to qualify.
Is that all clear....
