Down’s fortunes likely to improve against Westmeath

If Donegal are to overcome Armagh in the Division 2 final, they will probably need another fine performance from Oisín Gallen. Photograph: Andrew Paton/InphoFew managers get everything they want from the Allianz Football League, most just get what they need.

Michael Langan kicked three points from midfield against Kildare, and Mogan hit five from half back, although they won’t enjoy that sort of freedom against Armagh.Niall Moyna: ‘I actually don’t like the term strength and conditioning’When the teams drew in last month’s round four clash in Armagh Rian O’Neill’s first return to action this season looked to have provided the winning score, only for Shane O’Donnell to level the game for the fifth time.

Momentum shifted back and forth that last day; the biggest gap was four points, and that lasted roughly 60 seconds. Armagh possibly showed a little more guile in front of goal, which Croke Park should better facilitate. Win or lose, there’s no guarantee they’ll get one of those 16 places, given Clare, who ended up third, look to have an easy route to the Munster football final .

It has been a great campaign for Andy Moran’s team, who also defeated this weekend’s opponents along the way – for the second year running. It is five years since Leitrim were last promoted. whereas Laois, who stumbled in the run-in last year, have secured their rise this time despite losing to Saturday afternoon’s opponents just two weeks ago.

Laois are an experienced crew, however, captained by Evan O’Carroll with Paul Kingston beside him, while goalkeeper Killian Roche has been outstanding for Justin McNulty’s team this campaign.
