Saturday night in Newry sees a battle from the basement sides as Down and Offaly face off in the fifth round.

While Offaly is rooted to the bottom, Down is no better off as both sides have recorded just one draw to go along with three defeats each.

They are both stuck on one point and looking relegation in the face, but above them are Cork and Meath who are both struggling to distance themselves from the bottom two.

Cork remains sixth with one point, while Meath sits just above them with a meager two points on the board.

The poor form of the Rebels and Royals may give Down and Offaly some encouragement and a chance to escape, but if either hope to retain their Division Two status, a win is needed tonight .
