Replying To cuttothebone:  "Galway and Kildare are rightly favourites to go down, with 2 from Roscommon, Cork and Cavan to go back up.. Truth is those 5 teams are very even, all have recent enough experience in div 1 and have proper underage structures in place last 10 yrs or so to sustain at least and improve their current position, (Cork could up their game a bit maybe at underage). The main goal of these 5 should be to to knock either Donegal, Monaghan or Tyrone of their perch and hold div 1 status for the medium long term and not keep yo yo-ing between the 2 divisions.. Not easy but it's Kildare and Galways turn to challenge this year.."
