Taking stock: How things stand in the Allianz Football ad Hurling Leagues

Something to chew on as the leagues crossed their halfway point last weekend and a good time to check up on the status of the divisions across the codes.

"Home advantage is called that for a good reason,” said Kevin McStay during his time as Roscommon manager.

While just four home teams were victorious across the first eight Division 1 fixtures, in Rounds 3 and 4, the county on their own patch won seven out of eight times, the other time Donegal drawing with Galway. In total, top-flight home teams this season have won almost 69% of games, higher than last year’s 57.14% total for the round stages.
