Roscommon's John Evans is treating this Sunday's re-fixed game against Meath as an opportunity to secure their Division 2 status.

The Rossies are very much in the frame to secure a second successive promotion but their Kerry manager is not looking too far ahead.

"The difference between us and the rest of the teams is that most teams have two games left, we still  have three," he pointed out to The Irish Daily Star.

"We have a home game, we have to stay in Division 2 and this is an opportunity to dig in and stay in Division 2."

Evans has first hand knowledge of Sunday's opponents having been a part of Seamus McEnaney's Royal backroom set-up in 2012.

"We certainly would have huge respect for Meath and they're a formidable force and we have them at home in this refixed game.

"We look at this game as one where we're looking to consolidate our position because that's what it is.

"It's nothing more or less, it's not the biggest game of the year or the smallest. It's a game for survival in Division 2 and that's the way we're looking at it."
