The faithful county won their last game after coming into it on four straight losses.
Offaly are on the road for their St Patrick's weekend National Football League campaign.
A positive result against Sligo will ensure the they secure another season in Division Three next year.
After losing four straight games, the Faithful County shrugged off significant negative attention to put up 5-15 against an overwhelmed Wicklow last time out.
Tullamore's Declan Hogan returned to the starting line up for that game.
He says management and the playing panel have kept perspective through a rollercoaster campaign.
Hogan reflects on that journey with Midlands 103 Sports Editor, David Hollywood:
The action in Markievicz Park gets underway on Saturday at 2.30pm.
