LGFA NFL DIVISION ONE

All games 2pm unless stated

TODAY

Cork v Meath; Páirc Uí Rinn, 12.45pm - Live on TG4

A DEAD rubber on the cards in front of the live TV cameras but both sides will be anxious to put on a show.

For Cork, the aim is to build on their impressive St Patrick’s Day victory over Kerry, who may have had one eye on the April 15 final already qualified for.

Meath’s squad is slowly taking shape again as the championship looms into focus but the 2022 champions will be keen to finish their League campaign on a positive note.

TOMORROW Donegal v Mayo; Letterkenny

THIS is the big fixture in Division 1 at the weekend — a straight winner-takes-all relegation shoot-out.

Mayo have won just one of their six League fixtures, and simply avoiding defeat here will be good enough against pointless Donegal, who were Division 1 finalists in 2022.

A Donegal win would bring them level with Mayo on three points, and they’d survive on the head to head rule.

Galway v Kerry, Tuam

Stadium

THERE may be some shadow boxing on show at Tuam Stadium, with both counties already qualified for the Division 1 final at Croke Park on April 15.

Galway remain the only unbeaten county in Division 1 and will be anxious to maintain that, while Kerry fell to their first defeat of the season against Cork on St Patrick’s Day.

Even though both teams will meet again soon, they’ve named strong starting line-ups for this League final dress rehearsal.

Dublin v Waterford;

Parnell Park

THE neutral observer may have predicted that Waterford would struggle in the top flight this year but they’ve been superb under the tutelage of Pat Sullivan.

Waterford’s form has been so good they’ll travel to Dublin harbouring genuine hopes of a positive result against the Sky Blues.

Three wins, two defeats and a draw from their six games to date consolidated Waterford’s top flight status, while Dublin have been gradually improving.

Mick Bohan’s charges were still in the hunt for a final place until last weekend, when Galway made sure of joining Kerry at Croke Park.
