The Division 2A semi-final will involve Westmeath at home to Kerry, with the winners taking on Down in the final. Meath have been relegated.
In Division 2B, Donegal will have home advantage for a semi-final against Sligo, Derry await in the final. Wicklow play Mayo in the relegation play-off.
Then in Division 3A, Roscommon face Armagh in the semi-final as Tyrone have already qualified for the final and Warwickshire have been relegated.
Division 3B will see Longford host Leitrim in the semi-final and the winners to play Fermanagh in the final.

In Division 1, Kerry are through to the league final after today’s win over Armagh and it’ll likely be the Orchard County or Mayo who they play in that decider.
The relegation battle is a complex one with Kildare, Donegal, Tyrone, Dublin and Monaghan all still in danger of the drop.
The main Division 2 outcome is Galway’s sixth straight win sees them promoted to the top tier. They will be joined there by Roscommon or Derry, the Rossies having the advantage ahead of next weekend’s games. Down have been relegated with Cork or Offaly, who play next week, set to join them.
In Division 3, nothing is yet decided with Louth, Limerick, Antrim, Westmeath and Fermanagh all still in the promotion hunt. Laois, Wicklow and Longford will contest the relegation battle.
And finally in Division 4, there are four teams still in contention for promotion – Cavan, Tipperary, Sligo and Leitrim.
