Permutations aplenty: More than points at stake in the Allianz Football League

A whopping 27 counties possess the potential to secure top two finishes in their Allianz League groups this weekend. Some of those, admittedly, are only mathematical possibilities — we're looking at you here Laois, Longford and Wicklow — but it's already done for Roscommon, Down, Westmeath and Leitrim who are guaranteed bottom two spots regardless of results.

Only one from Dublin and Galway, who meet in Tuam, can potentially overtake Kerry to reach the Division 1 semi-finals. Picture: Sportsfile

Division 1 North

The more intriguing of the top-flight groups with only two points currently separating bottom team Monaghan from pace setters Donegal. Armagh play Donegal and Tyrone play Monaghan, both on Saturday evening.
