WITH THE PRE-SEASON competitions behind us, it’s now time to turn our attention to the National Leagues.
And in Division 2, the stakes are high. Donegal and Armagh will be eager to regain their Division 1 cards after suffering relegation last year, while Cork and Kildare will also be favourites to secure a place in top tier.
There’s less pressure on Meath to make the climb as they are the 2023 Tailteann Cup champions, meaning they are guaranteed a place in the Sam Maguire competition this year.
Louth will go into the Division 2 campaign under new management as Ger Brennan takes over from Derry-bound Mickey Harte. Meanwhile, Cavan and Fermanagh are the new arrivals from Division 3 and will be hoping to maintain that momentum to make more ground this year.
With all that in mind, which team do you think will be crowned Division 2 champions in 2024?

Up to the heady heights of 15th! Gonna cut the arms off my tracksuit top in tribute to Tim. Keep up the good work and keep big Ben banging them in and we might see another season of premier league football at villa park. Great result with has has happened elsewhere down the bottom.
Villa always seem to grab a few important wins towards the tail end of the season, they’ll stay up this year.
What a job pardew is doing with palace they were 10 pts behind newcastle at one stage and now they are 7 pts clear and could finish as high as 8th.
Two weeks ago Leicester being in this position would have been unthinkable. The way Sunderland and Hull are playing, I wouldn’t be surprised if themselves and Burnley make it (Can’t see QPR doing it).
Kinda sick of sunderland at this stage, wouldn’t mind both goin down. Really want to see Burnley stay up. Imagine a team with Stephen Ward avoiding relegation? Jaassysus
Brilliant photo of Vardy.
