Opening round fixtures

Saturday 24 January

Dublin v Donegal, Croke Park, 5pm

Sunday 25 January

Galway v Mayo, Pearse Stadium, 1.45pm
Kerry v Roscommon, Fitzgerald Stadium, 2pm
Monaghan v Armagh, St. Tiernach's Park, 2pm


Odds

To win the Div 1 title

Kerry 23/10
Donegal 4/1
Armagh,Dublin and Mayo 6/1
Galway 17/2
Monaghan 20/1
Roscommon 25/1

To be relegated

Roscommon 4/11
Monaghan  11/10
Armagh 23/10
Dublin,Galway,Mayo 10/3
Donegal 8/1
Kerry 22/1


Looks like the two just promoted back to Div 1 (Roscommon,Monaghan) will be getting relegated back to Division 2

While the two relegated last year Tyrone,Derry should bounce straight back to Division 1 for 2027.  A case to made to make Division 1 10 teams?

Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

The PRO

1. Kerry
2. Donegal
3. Armagh
4. Mayo
5. Galway
6. Dublin
7. Monaghan
8. Roscommon

Might be a bit of a slow bicycle race again- Ulster teams and probably Galway and Mayo be happy enough to stay up and anything after that is a bonus. Hoping Armagh can do enough to stay up, a lot of quality players won't be available for parts of the league especially early doors.

Meath after making All Ireland semi final will be making a big push in Division 2. 

Monaghan Armagh potentially a big game on first day in relation to relegation with Armagh being light at the moment with player availability and having to navigate the Ulster preliminary round against Tyrone in early April.

Absolutely and never easy going to Clone looking a result against them. Hopefully we can limit Beggan similarly to how St Brigids did in the club championships.

Was looking at potential line ups for us and theres still a fair strong side there but definitely missing size in the middle and that x factor quality without Rian and Grugan.

Will Beggan along with other Scotstown players be available for selection for the opening rounds of the league after a long club season for them?

There is zero chance of Dublin winning that division. Take your pick from a mediocre side in decline or not playing their cards this early. Absolutely no expectation in your nations capital this season.

Last few times Kerry won the All-Ireland, they scraped through the league after it, barely avoiding relegation each time.
Might do a tad better this year, but mid-table mediocrity at best.

Rossfan

Ros Andy and his Rhubarbs will be all out to win the League.
Them and Donegal in the Final.
Ros have 8th place booked already.
7th between Armagh, Galway and Monaghan.
Play the game and play it fairly
Play the game like Dermot Earley.
