NFL Division 2 2025

[Blowitupref]

Division 2 finals are normally played Sunday before the Division 1 final but not this time with it set for Saturday at 7:15pm. Roscommon travelling to London a few days later probably played a big part there.

I expected Down to beat monaghan but didn't expect Meath to be so easily turned over and expectex cavan to win at home. A very questionable 2 pointer disallowed in the cavan match  proved to be the decisive moment in this league for Down. Fine margins...

Did think that was a score, but also had a certain wide given as a point so it evens out really

More likely Kildare and Offaly will bring a big support on Sunday along with Mayo and semi fill Croke Park.

Wexford v Limerick will have a small attendance, I cant see loads of Monaghan and Roscommon folk flooding Croke Park on a saturday night in March either. I live close enough so I will go but rather if we had played on the Sunday.

Division 2 was competitive but no standout team. Cork lost a lot of players over the winter but looked decent today. They should have had 3 or 4 goals. Consistency aways the issue with Cork. Ian Maguire is a top midfielder.

Div 1 also competitive not sure how many teams truly stood out.  It's looking like a very open championship again which is great to see after one team dominated the winners list.

Monaghan one would expect to win the upcoming final as they have I think three weeks prep time before their championship opener while the rossies are flying out to London five days after this final.  Winning a trophy in Croke Park is a nice bonus but with promotion secured I doubt either will be that bothered by losing next Sunday.

Division 1 was competitive and up in the air who would reach the final and be promoted. Still a good gap from Division 2 and Monaghan and Roscommon could make a quick return to Division 2 in 27. Began has less of an impact now which will hinder Monaghan going forward.

Began was very impressive v Down yesterday, his kickouts were unreal, I've never seen anything like it. When he came out to join the attack he played several killer passes.

Disappointing game for us yesterday. Like the Monaghan game we started pulling something together when the game was almost out of reach.

Were overly reliant on veterans and established players. A few injuries and we have lost momentum. It was good to get Costello back but then we lose Morris (dislocated knee apparently). Once Jones was injured our midfield has been beaten in every game since.

The young lads coming in from U20 who have experienced success need recent in years past to start stepping up, nailing down a place and start delivering performances. Need to find scorers especially without Morris. That needs the management and coaches to get to work.

Has been confirmed a request from Roscommon to change their game to Saturday evening has been granted by the Central Control Competitions Committee.

Hilarious 2pter for Westneath on the highlights there on tg4. Westmeath point bounced  over the bar through a stream of players,who all missed it for a 2pter.

So it's a two pointer if it drops short and bounces over without touching another player?

Would have thought that only be 1.

You're talking thro yer hole, Beggan has been the supreme figure in Monaghan's season so far, re goalkeeping, kick outs, assists and points scored. The only worry is how would we fare without him.

I know he has been. Don't be so touchy. After round 5 of the league the rules were tweaked so keepers won't have as much freedom . Monaghan had most of the work done by that stagem

Did those changes effect Meath. They were bringing their keeper up alot before the change.

It's bound to have affected them having an extra player when on the attack was a big advantage to the teams that were using the keepers like that. Be interesting to see what teams persit with it coming into the summmer with harder faster ground leading to quicker counter attacks.

[imtommygunn]

Meath really dropped off in the league - wonder why that was?

They tweaked the rule by removing the word "direct" to remove any doubt about ball off the post or hopping in the square etc
