With a game to go in Division 2 of the Allianz League, six of the eight counties still have a shot at promotion - but would a top two finish really be a prize or a punishment?

Roscommon are virtually certain of promotion but having similarly gone up from Division 2 in 2018, only to come straight back down in 2019, they know the potential punishment that awaits.
