Cork (H) v Westmeath, 2.00pm (SUNDAY) Mallow, Cork (S McNulty, Wicklow) CORK are the reigning Lidl NFL Division 1 champions and while they were beaten by Dublin at Croke Park last time out, the Leesiders showed enough to suggest that they will be a force for the long haul in 2018. In that fixture, Ephie Fitzgerald’s charges gave themselves too much to do but he’ll have been pleased with a fightback that fell narrowly short. Cork have been hoovering up titles at underage level in recent years and it will be interesting to see if that can transfer to senior level quickly, or if there’s a transitional period in store. It’s been a tough slog for Westmeath in the top flight to date, with three defeats from their three matches. They were competitive in games against Mayo and Dublin but leaking 9-17 to Donegal last weekend is a concern for the basement side.
