Previews: Lidl NFL Div2

Following last weekend’s inclement weather, Clare, Kerry, Armagh and Cavan are set for their refixed Round 2 encounters in Division 2 of the LIDL Ladies NFL today.

Lidl NFL Division 2A:

Clare v Kerry; Doonbeg 

Laois will be keeping a close eye on this one as they sit pretty at the head of affairs in Division 2A on six points.  

Victory for Kerry over Clare would see the Kingdom join the O’Moore County in the semi-finals, with Tipperary and Clare then left to battle it out in the final round of group games to avoid a relegation play-off.  

Clare’s opening day loss to Laois has left the Banner County in a tricky position, while Laois accounted for Tipperary in dreadful conditions last weekend to put themselves in a brilliant position.  

Clare, however, can ensure a gripping final round of game matches if they can make home advantage count in Doonbeg.  

Lidl NFL Division 2B:

Armagh v Cavan; Athletic Grounds, Armagh  

Armagh head into this one knowing that a win will see them through to the Division 2 semi-finals.  

In their opening match, the Orchard County were impressive and a haul of 5-9 was an excellent way to begin what could be a successful campaign.  

Armagh are genuine promotion contenders, while this is a critical game for Cavan as they’re the only team in the pool without a point.  

An Armagh win would leave them with a winner-takes-all final group game with Monaghan for top spot.  

Cavan beat Armagh in the League last year but Armagh were the superior force come championship time.
