Pressure on Derry and Bohs to get results on Friday with everyone else playing two games things could get very tight.
A pair of wins for Pats and Shels with losses on Friday for Derry and Bohs would have Derry in second on 49 , Pats 48, Shels 48 , Bohs 47.
On the other hand wins for Derry and Bohs and we could see them put real distance in the race for Europe places.

Galway v Sligo on Monday is a huge one obviously , if Galway play like they did against Pats they should win...will be interesting to see the Sligo reaction to the loss in Kerry.
Big weekend for Drogs as well , two wins and thet are right in it but their season seems to be slipping away a bit

Sort of, but only if the other club wins.
For our game, I think it's a must win for Shels, a draw for us isn't a disaster.
Chatting to a good few Shels fans over in Armenia (haven't they multiplied of late?), and they are still stuck on the idea of getting second spot. I don't blame them, as it's probably there for the taking. A draw would do them no good in that regard.

We've just had the news that Ben Doherty is out for the season, so we'll be needing Dummigan fit to stick him in tomorrow.

Galway are in serious need of a win, but I don't think they'll get it in Inchicore, nor that Sligo will at home to Drogs. They play each other on Monday night in Galway, massive game.

FD-wise, Harps are playing Bray at good time. Bray don't have much to play for, they're just going to finish third. Is it even worth the effort of trying harder to finish second? Hardly much advantage.
