13.03.11 (SUN)
SLIGO V DERRY
MEATH V DONEGAL
KILDARE V LAOIS




Laois, Donegal and Derry are setting the pace so far but not out of touch of Kildare, Meath, Tyrone or Antrim. However by the next round of games the list of contenders should be a bit shorter.

Tyrone and Antrims clash is of vital importance to both teams if they want to avoid joining the relegation battle. , while Sligo simply have to win but against Derry close to impossible even at home but if they do they will get off the bottom.

A win for Kildare will keep them in the hunt but a loss could see them drop to 6th at worst. While Laois with a win would keep them ahead of the pack give them plenty of confidence of winning Div 2 outright.

Meath will need to make home advantage count against Donegal if they want to get back in the hunt. A loss pretty much locks us into a relegation battle. A win would really boost Meath if Derry lose to Sligo as they would pass them out on superior scores difference.

So you guys think Antrim will relegate Meath & Sligo?

I can't see them beating Derry or Donegal & Sligo game is 50/50

Can't see us getting much out of the 3 games left anyway.

[donegal lad]

division still looking very tight is a matter of 2 teams from 6 that could get promoted with tyrone relying on other games to go there way think if we beat derry next saturday night we should get promoted but will be a hard game

Sligo confidence increases.

Donegal have improved out of all recognition since this time last year. You'd expect Meath and themselves to be in each others place. Well done Jimmy McGuinness. .

The Rugby panelist (Conor Ó Sé?) on RTÉ 2 has a cracking Antrim tie on.

Spotted that

Nearly bought that same tie last week--might get it at start of the month (would wear it with plain shirt though your man looked a bit too Rugby/Bangor for me with all the stripes !)

Donegal have improved out of all recognition since this time last year. You'd expect Meath and themselves to be in each others place. Well done Jimmy McGuinness. .

Looking very good so far all right, with several of last year's U-21s doing very well and McGuinness having them play deep and break very quickly. The form of Murphy is obviously a huge factor too. I doubt if too many Donegal people will be getting carried away this early though. We've had excellent leagues many times before, only to fall flat come May/June. 2007 we won the whole thing, before getting out of jail against an Armagh team who couldn't finish the game off when they were on top and then getting hammered by Tyrone.
