Would be very surprised if Fermanagh went to Limerick without the Quigleys and got 2pts
Would expect Wexford to raise their game at home to Sligo or they will be in a Relegation fight

Limerick
Cavan
Wexford
Roscommon

Who i would fancy to win tomorrow.

Fermanagh were Quigley-less against Cavan and easily have won.

[rodney trotter]

They played well, had the wind in the second half and faught back well against Cavan, but Cavan still won by 4. Game should have been over at half time , Mackey missed a great goal chance.

I think that would mean Ros and Cavan promoted if those predictions happen.
I suspect it would be the first time ever promotion was done and dusted with 2 games remaining.
However we won't count any chickens just yet.

[Westside]

We don't want to be going into the Roscommon game needing points. Huge game tomorrow this is our chance.

We don't want to be going into the Roscommon game needing points. Huge game tomorrow this is our chance.

Neither do we. I think both teams would be very happy to have it all done and dusted for the Breffni game, clear the benches and save the real action for Croker.

Wouldn't surprise me if Longford,Sligo cause a few upsets tomorrow.  Our lads need to be fully  focused, Offaly fighting to stay up & will want to beat their neighbours. Unchanged team from what i hear.

Wex 2-12 Sligo 1-12 FT

Ros 2-08 Offaly 1-03 HT

Longford 0-06 Cavan 0-04 HT

Just need to hold out and we're up.

Same old story from us, hit a couple of purple patches then fell asleep. Some of the starters are just not good enough for this grade in my opinion.
Another brilliant performance from marren and Kelly but too many players did not perform.

Word to pat Flanagan - pull off the next player that loses the ball in the tackle, enough is enough.

We need to beat Longford to stay up, very frustrating from a supporter point of view.  Fair play to Wexford, they did enough to win.  Good to see Colm McGee back

Ros 3-19 Offaly 2-04 FT

Donie was exceptional. He scored 9 or 10 points today and won loads of ball around the middle.

D2 is a reality. Never expected it to be so straight-forward after all the trouble we had. The lads are finally showing their potential. There's a great unity in the panel now. We have a panel of talented players with the right attitude and that's as solid a foundation to move forward with as you can have.

[ross4life]

Delighted we are finally out of div 3 & we did it in style with two games to spare. By my count Donie Shine scored 0-11 the fact he scored more than Offaly says it all really in truth todays game was a total non-contest. The next step is to make sure we good enough to stay in div 2 now, on the evidence of the performances this year and talent available to us i think we should do ok. Sad to see our neighbours fall so low but they have are some decent underage players coming through and will have to start again in div 4.

Well done to Cavan also like ourselves 5 wins from 5 the last two games matter little now however i'm looking forward to the Croke park final on April 26th.

Terrible game in Longford in a terrible ground with a terrible referee. We should have been way ahead and missed a very scorable 1-4 in the first half and Longford had the ref to thank for giving them a lot of soft frees to keep them in touch and they ended up going in 1 point up at half time. Martin Dunne left his shooting boots behind today. At the 2nd of the 2nd half Cavan went down to 14 men when Mooney got a harsh 2nd yellow and then the ref started giving cavan a few soft frees before evening the teams with a straight red for a Longford player for a late tackle on Martin Reilly. Cavan hit their purple patch in the 3rd quarter, a quick free by mackey found Tierney who blasted a shot off the bar with an open goal gaping. The rebound  was touched on the line by the longford player and a penalty awarded which Dunne buried. Longford got a few more frees but never really threatened again.

Cavan again looked poor in attack. Made lots of chances and in total hit 13 wides, missed 2 excellent goal chances and dropped 6 shots short. Longford were more economical but created no goal chances and only had a few wides. However, we got the 2 points while playing poorly and that is a good sign. Thankfully we can get another run in Croke park and look forward to Div 2 football next year. Can't see us beating Roscommon without getting some of our players back for 2 weeks time.

[Itchy]

Not great quality but who cares. Well done to all the lads, brilliant to get promoted with 2 games to spare.

[Syferus]

Well done to the Cavan lads on getting promoted too. Great to see two counties' work at grass-roots bearing some fruit.

[FermGael]

Great result today in Limerick.
Excellent display from the whole team.  Looked very focused and everybody played their part.
Defence was very much on top and we bossed the midfield sector.
Tomas Corrigan scored  9 points and kicked some great scores from play.
Without Seamus or Sean we played a quick running game and delivered good quality low ball into our forward line instead of just lumping it in.
So that leaves us third on 4 points along with Wicklow, Sligo and Longford.
Offaly need a miracle at this stage.

We have Wicklow and Offaly to play at home in our final 2 games so all very much on our own hands.

Seamie has been dropped. That's the last 4 Fermanagh managers that have shown him the road. They can't all be wrong.

The door has been left open for Conor and Sean.  Hopefully they will rejoin the panel and we can move on from this.

Congratulations to Roscommon and hope you go on and win the final.
Oh and Cavan too.  Yeah.
