Armagh would want to avoid a prolonged stay in D2.

The last time Armagh got relegated from Div 1 was 2012 and it would take them nine years to return to the top division and in between dropped down to Div 3 for a few years. They certainly won't a repeat of that.

[Captain Obvious]

Watched Donegal against Tyrone. Jim has them flying off the turf this soon in the year. The week training in Tenerife is showing and players that opted out last year have all opted in now. They should be gaining promotion and Armagh need to bounce straight back after last years relegation.

Louth will likely fall like a stone without Mickey Harte. Kildare and Cork should be be challengers for promotion.

Looking forward to Cavan v Meath, under lights on a Saturday evening in Breffni Park.

Fixed the title for you.

[FermPundit]

I'm reasonably happy with how the McKenna campaign has gone had given how young the team is and with the recent retirement of senior players. Survival in Division 2 for another year will be the objective but it's such a strong league this year that a strong start will be important   

[tbrick18]

Donegal - I think Donegal could have a big year
Cork - Improving, very mobile and physical and have a really good manager
Armagh - I think 3rd in Div 2 is the level they are at. They could well win Div2 though.
Kildare - Nothing between Kildare and Meath
Meath
Cavan - Nothing between Cavan and Fermanagh
Fermanagh
Louth - hard to see anything but relegation for Louth after Harte leaving them last minute.

[armaghniac]

Armagh have two strong promotion contenders away, Kildare and Cork. It would have been good to have one of these in the Athletic grounds, Cork don't always travel well, and take our chances with Louth away.

[Cunny Funt]

Hard to see past Donegal and Armagh for promotion. The one team that might sneak in is Cork, clear and overdue improvement they have made since adding Kevin Walsh to their management.

Kildare with a couple of successful U20 teams they have a lot of talented players to be added to their team and should become established Div 1 team in the years ahead.

Mid table for Meath and not knowing if they are coming or going.

The good job Mickey Harte did with Louth will likely be highlighted further without him this year. Fermanagh might survive as Cavan have a habit of either getting promoted or relegated the last decade

[Armagh18]

Fancy our chances against Kildare. Wouldn't like to be heading to Cork in a must win though.

McGuinness is at the wheel again. Ban overturned. Apparently we weren't aware of the rule.
