MATCHBOX

Division 2A

Westmeath v London

(Tomorrow, Mullingar, 1pm)

WESTMEATH secured their first win of the campaign against Armagh last week and they should make it two from two comfortably enough against the Exiles. Fergus McMahon’s side were hammered by Carlow last time out.

Odds: H: 1/20 D: 20/1 A: 8/1

Verdict: Westmeath

Armagh v Antrim

(Tomorrow, Athletic Grounds, 2pm)

See P77 for preview

Odds: H: 11/2 D: 16/1 A: 1/10

Verdict: Amtrim

Kildare v Carlow

(Tomorrow, Newbridge, 2pm)

BOTH these sides should ease home in their final games, against London and Armagh respectively, so this is basically a shoot-out for a final spot. A late Lilywhite flourish saw them shock Westmeath at home earlier in the campaign, and they can repeat the trick again.

Odds: H: 15/8 D: 8/1 A: 1/2

Verdict: Kildare

Division 2B

Mayo v Meath

(Tomorrow, Ballina, 2pm)

THE ease at which Mayo let the Down players cut through them last week would have been a real concern for manager JP Coen, as was the fact that they only managed two points from play in the 17-point loss. Meath should easily make it three wins from three.

Odds: H: 4/1 D: 16/1 A: 1/6

Verdict: Meath

Derry v Roscommon

(Tomorrow, Celtic Park. 1pm)

See P75 for preview

Odds: H: 4/11 D: 10/1 A: 9/4

Verdict: Derry

Wicklow v Down

(Tomorrow, Arklow, 2pm)

See P77 for preview

Odds: H: 5/6 D: 8/1 A: 11/10

Verdict: Wicklow

Division 3A

Donegal v Monaghan

(Tomorrow, Letterkenny, 2pm)

MONAGHAN have four wins from four, but included in those were one-, two- and three-point victories. It was the Tir Chonaill men who missed out by the minimum, and Ardal McDermott’s side can reverse that result on their own patch, especially with David Flynn in such good scoring form.

Verdict: Donegal

Tyrone v Louth

(Tomorrow, Carrickmore, 2pm)

TYRONE’S slow start cost them dearly against Donegal last weekend but they should bounce back against Louth. When the sides met earlier in the season, Mattie Lennon’s men came flying out of the blocks and led 3-7 to 0-5 at the break before eventually winning by 19 points.

Verdict: Tyrone

Division 3B

Longford v Warwickshire

(Today, Glennon Brothers Pearse Park, 2.30pm)

LIAM Watson will again lead the Warwickshire attack as they attempt to stretch their lead at the top of the table to four points against second-placed Longford. The Antrim native has 4-28 in three games.

Verdict: Longford

Leitrim v Sligo

(Tomorrow, Páirc Seán Mac Diarmada, 2pm)

Both sides are coming in off the back of frustrating results last week. Leitrim lost by two points away to Warwickshire while Sligo conceded two late goals in their four-point loss to Fermanagh.

Verdict: Leitrim
