It is the most celebrated competition Gaelic football has and even still, as final rounds go this weekend’s National League fixtures look a tad underwhelming. In two of three divisions relegation is already finalised while Donegal are also doomed.

Some of the greatest deciding day drama in recent years came from desperation to avoid the drop. Think Galway 2021, Dublin and Laois 2022. Division 2 has long been labelled the true blockbuster class yet aside from Dublin vs Louth it’s already wrapped up.
