The best example of this is Division One North where all four teams - Donegal, Tyrone, Armagh and Monaghan - can all still search the league semi-finals but are also not safe from the threat of relegation. Granted relegation will not be decided this weekend but the line-ups for the divisional semi-finals and relegation play-offs will be confirmed following the third series of round-robin games. Likewise, the Red Hands go into the Omagh contest knowing victory will secure a semi-finals spot but that defeat will mean a relegation play-off against Division One South opposition to avoid the drop. Kerry, despite their draw with the Dubs on Sunday which put both teams on three points, have a +13 scoring difference over Dessie Farrell's side and only an unlikely heavy defeat at Dr Hyde Park would see the Kingdom dropping into one of the relegation play-off spots. Even defeat by Ulster Champions Cavan is unlikely to deny Derry their semi-finals spot although it would most likely result in Fermanagh dropping into the relegation play-off spots alongside Longford.
