GAA weekend preview: Huge weekend in football league

Promotion, relegation, and now a place for the All-Ireland Championship is at stake for some in this weekend's action in the National Football League.

In division one, rivals Donegal and Armagh will face off on Saturday, with Donegal's place in the division under real threat.

At the top of the division, Roscommon will host the unbeaten Mayo in Dr Hyde Park, while Tyrone will host Kerry in a must win game at Healy park in Omagh after their defeat to Mayo.

In what's been a very interesting Division two, Dublin will travel to Derry, with Rory Gallagher's men confident of a big scalp in Derry, in what will likely be the final of the division.

Cork make the trip to Cusack Park to face Cork, with both sides' participation in the All-Ireland under threat, with Kildare in a similar position when they face Louth.

With so much at stake heading into this weekend's games, here is a full rundown of this weekend's fixtures.
