T2 fears will deliver cut-throat league, says Cross star

Armagh attacker Oisin O’Neill reckons the new Tier 2 championship will ensure that next year’s Division 2 league campaign is more competitive than ever. Armagh and the seven other Division 2 counties will begin that campaign knowing that a bottom two finish will almost certainly mean Tier 2 football for them in the summer.

The two teams relegated from Division 2 will be classed as Division 3 teams for the purposes of the new Tier 2 competition which will comprise counties from Division 3 and 4 that haven’t reached a provincial final.
