Just for completeness' sake

Antrim
Carlow
Laois
Leitrim
Limerick
London
Waterford
Wicklow

Laois and Limerick favourites to go up, with maybe Antrim or Carlow sneaking in should one of those not make it??  Thoughts??

I think Carlow will top it.
Leix second.

Limerick won't be too far away from promotion either while Antrim will probably round up the top 4.

Wicklow could be in contention if John Evans can persuade players to commit. He had a decent league record with Tipperary and Roscommon.

Their result at the weekend would not inspire confidence and they are coming from a position where they were the worst team in the country. There obviously is some footballing talent in the county though but it will take time to get going.

Leitrim are worse than Wicklow.

Amazing to see Laois so low down. I remember travelling to Portlaoise a few years ago to see them play Mayo.

Give and Go

Laois have Donie Kingston back and the players have bought into Sugrue.  They should go back up. Antrim have a kind run of fixtures and could be in promotion spot early before meeting stronger teams. Carlow had a good summer but have two sticky away games to start with which could put them under pressure. I think Limerick are going to be very competitive this year - they got a bad start last year and never recovered. Wicklow will find the going very tough - too much team building ahead for Evans this year. Funny thing about Div 4 this year is London have 7 home games and that will help them get a few wins. Leitrim are young and missing too many first teamers to seriously contend.

Carlow and Laois should be promoted here
