Lidl NFL Division 3

Sligo v Down; Eastern Harps, 1pm

 

Sligo are hovering perilously above the relegation zone in Division 3.

The Yeats Couny have a point from their opening two games and sit above pointless pair Antrim and Down.

This is a massive game with potential relegation consequences and a win for either side would represent a massive boost in the battle to avoid the drop.

Sligo lost to table-toppers Clare last time out, as Down were defeated by Wexford.

 

Sligo: E McGuire; A Molloy, E McDermott, A Morrisroe; C King, C Dunne (capt.), T Breheny; S Cunney, S Regan; C Gilligan, L Kelly, J Lyons; C Gorman, N Brennan, L Duffy.

 

Down: A McGivern; A Greene, O Boyle, P Smyth; N McKibbin, M Doherty (capt.), O Duffy; C Mulvenna, A Laverty; N Scullion, A Brogan, L Duffy; A O’Higgins, N Ferris, N McClory.

 

Clare v Roscommon; Cusack Park, Ennis , 2pm

 

The top two in the table clash at Cusack Park in Ennis.

Clare and Roscommon are both sitting pretty on six points each after two games and will both be aiming to maintain 100 per cent records.

They are both strong promotion contenders after two rounds and Clare will be particularly keen to go up after losing the Division 3 final to Kildare last year.

Roscommon will be anxious too to bounce back to Division 2 at the first attempt, having suffered relegation in 2023.

 

Clare: A Lenihan; A Keane, S Ní Chonaill, G Harvey; R Considine, J Doohan, L Ryan; C Harvey (capt.), A Reidy; F Marrinan, C McCarthy, S Considine; A Sexton, C Moloney, M Downes.

 

Roscommon: H Cummins; A McGrath, E Irwin, A MacAuliffe; R Fitzmaurice, S Wynne, C Cregg; L O’Rourke, K Nolan; L Fleming, L Shanagher, S Farrell; A Hanly, A Feeley, N Feeney (capt.).
