GAA/Divisional guide: With only two programmes left the National Football League is likely to decide some issues this weekend.

The top two teams in each section proceed to their divisional semi-finals whereas the bottom two in Division One are relegated and replaced by the Division Two semi-finalists.

Division One A: Armagh have set the pace here but could get caught in the run for the tape as there are four sides in the chasing pack all on six points - Cork, Tyrone, Kerry and outsiders Roscommon, who have the easiest run-in against weakened Dublin and relegated Donegal. The other relegation spot looks like Dublin's as Galway, who they play in the last fixture, have a far better scoring difference.

Division One B: Laois and Cavan play each other tomorrow and whoever loses could get drawn back into the dogfight. Although Mayo and Fermanagh look best placed to benefit from any slip-ups, Meath are still in it if they can beat Mayo this weekend but equally could be sucked towards the trapdoor. Down and Sligo are nearer relegation and Kildare have it all to do with no points. They have some chance of winning the final two matches against Down tomorrow and high-flying Laois in a fortnight.

Division Two A: Westmeath are odds-on to progress and a win in Offaly guarantees promotion. The other place lies between Louth and Limerick who play tomorrow. Even a defeat for Limerick wouldn't be the end of the road as Louth face Westmeath in the final match whereas Limerick have a home match with lowly Wicklow. Promotion would mean Division One life for the first time in Limerick's history.

Division Two B: Like last year Wexford have positioned themselves strongly for promotion and like last year Carlow await in the last match. Should it go to that Wexford Park will be an edgy place in a fortnight. Derry are also likely to go up although their last two fixtures are against promotion-rivals Wexford, tomorrow, and Longford. A draw in Celtic Park would almost certainly see Wexford and Derry advance - short of a big win for Longford against Derry.

This season's National Hurling League sections break in two at the end of the round-robin series with the top three in Division One A playing the top three in Division One B. At the end of the three matches the teams with the most points in either section (counties take their phase one points totals into phase two) play each other in the NHL final. The same process takes place with the bottom three teams and the counties finishing last will be relegated.

Division One A: Kilkenny and Clare play each other tomorrow and the winners are through. Regardless of the result both should progress. Galway's match with Waterford will settle the third place and the former have home advantage as well as an easier final match.

Division One B: Like in Division One A the top two are fairly clearcut here with Tipperary and Cork almost certainly uncatchable. The tussle for third place is between Offaly, Wexford and Limerick. Offaly have the whip hand with a win over Limerick already to their credit.

They also have a huge scoring difference advantage over both of their rivals who meet tomorrow in Wexford.
