The only thing up for debate is which county will join Laois in achieving promotion from Division 3.

Westmeath and Louth will play one another next week in their refixed round 6 clash, with a draw or win sealing the Lake County’s promotion.

Only a victory will send the Wee County up. Down sit in second place but are out of the running due to their inferior scoring difference.
