Catch up on how last night’s football action unfolded:

• Dean Rock rescued a draw for Dublin against Tyrone in Division 1.
• Daniel Flynn returned to help Kildare get their first Division 2 league win when they defeated Cavan.
• Meath went goal crazy in Navan against Westmeath in the same division.
• Finally in Division 3, Armagh and Fermanagh finished all square while Tipperary got their promotion bid back on track.

Here’s the state of play across the four divisions before today’s games.

Division 1

It’s clearly very tightly contested in with neither Dublin or Tyrone able to get the win last night. It’ll be interesting to assess the situation at the top and bottom of the division after today’s games.

Division 2

Meath went top last night after their win over Westmeath  while Galway, Down and Roscommon will hope to boost their promotion aspirations today. At the bottom Laois are rooted to the bottom of the table while Kildare grabbed a vital success last night.

Division 3

Armagh, Fermanagh and Tipperary are heading the way in this division but at the bottom the battle for points is desperate.

Division 4

Offaly, Longford and Carlow are leading the fight for promotion here, victories today would be a big boost for those sides.

Starting teams today in Páirc Uí Rinn. Interesting to see Stephen O’Donoghue named at centre-back for Cork today. That’s his first league start for Cork since 2008.
