The National Football League has reached the last batch of group fixtures, meaning plenty of battles are in-store as counties attempt to slip away from the grasps of relegation play-offs, towards promotion and division semi-finals.
Finals, relegation and promotion is slightly different in the football this year, with the top two counties from each north/south group meeting in their division’s semi-finals. From there, both teams who make it to the final in Divisions 2, 3 and 4 will gain promotion for next season, and the winner will be crowned division champion.
On the other end of proceedings, Division 1, 2 and 3 will see the bottom two placed teams in each north/south group entering into relegation play-offs. The two losers of these games will be relegated for next season.
