As far up as ninth place in the 16-team league, the great Bellaghy are still in trouble, even with a game in hand.
Most have just one fixture still to play with Kilrea and Greenlough occupying the last two spots in the drop zone at present but both could rescue themselves with final day action.
What's most dramatic is that 12th place, fifth from bottom, will have to play a playoff game against Banagher (in the division below) to determine their fate so the bottom five will all be in danger of the drop.
What's even more dramatic than that is that clubs like Bellaghy - with two games left - will play on Friday (tonight) and Sunday.
Remaining fixtures
(Friday)
Glen v Coleraine
Swatragh v Bellaghy
Kilrea v Claudy
(Sunday)
Coleraine v Glenullin
Lavey v Newbridge
Swatragh v Slaughtneil
Ballinascreen v Greenlough
The Loup v Dungiven
Ballinderry v Bellaghy
Glen v Magherafelt
Greenlough, already in the drop zone, play fellow strugglers Ballinascreen knowing that a win will put them ahead of them on head to head but score difference will come into play if more than two teams are tied on points.
If Bellaghy were to lose to Swatragh (also in danger) on Friday, they head to one of their biggest enemies Ballinderry with their place in the top table on the line. They could drop from ninth to the second tier in one weekend and the most successful club in Derry could slip out.
