Down need another point to guarantee promotion

Mathematically Westmeath, Laois, Louth, Longford and Down can all still gain promotion.

Down will gain promotion back to division 2 next weekend if they get a draw or win against Louth in Pairc Esler.

What happens if Down Lose?

• If Laois lose their remaining game against Carlow – Down get promoted
• Laois Win and Westmeath win remain two games – Westmeath and Laois get promoted (Laois gain promotion on head to head against Down)
• Laois Win and Westmeath win one game & Draw the other game – Down, Laois and Westmeath all go to 10 points and so score difference comes into it
• Laois Win and Louth Win both remaining games - Down, Laois and Louth all go to 10 points and so score difference comes into it

Any other outcomes – Down get promoted
