Time to just reflect on this league campaign and to see how things all finished up. There were some very good matches throughout and the managers did give new talent a chance to shine. At the end of the day though, I don't think that anyone can have any complaints about their final league position.

| Westmeath | 7 | 0 | 0 | 7 | 68 | 138 | -70 | 0 |
Champions: KerryRelegated: Westmeath & Donegal- Kerry end the campaign unbeaten with their 1 draw and 7 wins (including the final) and they should be favourites heading into the All-Ireland in the summer. The disappointing season for Tyrone was touching on previously. But it was even more so for fans of Donegal probably expected to do better than this. Westmeath just seemed out of their depth this year.

| Wexford | 7 | 0 | 1 | 6 | 78 | 140 | -62 | 1 |
Promoted: Monaghan & Cork (champions)Relegated: Wexford & Fermanagh- In a bit of a strange twist, even though they finished second, Cork are named champions as they won that final one-off game. Those two sides should be a fine addition to Division 1 next year and it will give Monaghan in particular a chance to test themselves against the best. Wexford & Fermanagh had only just come up this year and so are going straight back down again.
Division 3Allianz GAA Football National League Roinn 3 Table | Team | Pld | Won | Draw | Lost | For | Against | Diff | Points |

| Louth | 7 | 3 | 0 | 4 | 109 | 98 | 11 | 6 |

| Cavan | 7 | 3 | 0 | 4 | 91 | 94 | -3 | 6 |
| Limerick | 7 | 3 | 0 | 4 | 81 | 92 | -11 | 6 |
| Longford | 7 | 2 | 1 | 4 | 76 | 88 | -12 | 5 |
Promoted: Down & Tipperary (champions)Relegated: Longford & Limerick- Again the runners-up are crowned champions and this was an excellent campaign for Tipperary as they secured their second promotion in a row. Down as expected also go up a division. But just look how tight it was down at the other end of the table. You have to feel for Limerick getting relegated by virtue of having a worse points difference.
Division 4Allianz GAA Football National League Roinn 4 Table | Team | Pld | Won | Draw | Lost | For | Against | Diff | Points |

| Kilkenny | 8 | 0 | 0 | 8 | 42 | 254 | -212 | 0 |
Promoted: Antrim & Sligo (champions)- Sligo get the division trophey for winning that final match but the league table in this division is probably fairest of all most definitely the top 2 sides going up. Poor Kilkenny will just be glad that this campaign is finished.
