Top of the table Kerry welcome Dublin to Tralee this afternoon. The Kingdom have three wins from three while the Dubs overcame a dogged Cork side in an absorbing game of football last time out. Mayo, who are still without a point, travel to Navan to take on All-Ireland and Div 1 Champions Meath.
Meath v Mayo, Sat 18th Feb, Páirc Tailteann at 2pm
Mayo are still without a point in the league so far face a daunting trip to the home of the All-Ireland Champions.
After losing out to Dublin in their opening game Meath have bounced back with a win over Donegal and then a draw against Galway.
Mayo lost their opening game to Cork by five points but then lost to Kerry by just one point and Waterford, the last day out by two. They’ll hope their luck changes in Navan.
