YEAR after year the National League delivers. Jeopardy everywhere and not a dead rubber in sight. 

This spring is no different. With only two regulation rounds left there is so much still up for grabs. Based on my calculations Waterford are the only team in Ireland that can’t either go up or down in their division, based on the results over this weekend and next. Similarly, Down are going up from Division Three, but will want to make sure they top the division to cement their Sam Maguire status.
