Louth's Derek Crilly believes that they need to win three games to avoid relegation.

Having gained promotion to division 2, Louth's main priority this year will be to consolidate their place in the second tier of the league.

To do that, Crilly feels that they must reach the six point mark starting with Sunday's home game against Westmeath.

"I think six points would keep us safe," Crilly explained to the Dundalk Democrat. "Last year, Meath got three points and stayed up, so six should be enough.

"Obviously we can't look beyond Westmeath, but with our last two games away to Derry and Meath, we don't want to come into those games struggling with no points." Tweet
