I expect that there will be very small crowds attending most of the games in the top two divisions this weekend as there is so little to play for and people have lost interest by now.

There's been a Super Sunday vibe to the last round of the League at times - but, sadly, not this year.

In contrast, The worrying thing for everyone else is they have managed this without a number of key players, and Con O’Callaghan and Ciaran Kilkenny in particular look back to their best after a below par 2023. Monaghan against Mayo is effectively a dead rubber. I expect Mayo to make a raft of changes ahead of a quick turnaround for the Connacht Championship, while Monaghan will look to get a win to breathe some positivity into their camp heading into the Championship.

A win would see leapfrog Down in the table but I would expect Conor Laverty’s men to get the job done on their own patch. With Leitrim leading by a point, one of their defenders claimed a defensive mark in the last play of the game and on hearing the referee’s whistle ran off in celebration at what he thought was the end of the game. The referee then blew him for over carrying and Laois hit the post from the resulting free.
