Here's the fixture details for this year's Allianz football league finals

Croke Park will host the games on the weekend of 25-26 April.

THE GAA HAVE announced today that all four Allianz football league finals will take place in Croke Park later this month.

The identity of the Division 1 finalists won’t be known until after next Sunday’s semi-finals. Dublin are chasing a third successive title this year while Cork, three-in-a-row champions between 2010 and 2012, are also hoping to return to the decider.

Donegal last contested a Division 1 final when they won the competition in 2007 while you have to go all the way back to 1986 for Monaghan’s last Division 1 final appearance.

The Division 2 final will be the curtain-raiser on 26 April, pitting together Down and Roscommon. When these teams met in Newry in February, Roscommon triumphed by 1-15 to 0-11. Roscommon won the Division 3 decider last year while Down are in their first league final since losing the Division 2 showdown against Armagh in 2010.

The Division 3 final on 25 April will be an all-Ulster affair between Armagh and Fermanagh, two sides that drew 1-10 apiece when they face off in early March at the Athletic Grounds.
