Here's the winners and losers after the last day of 2022 GAA football league division action

We now know who’ll be in the Sam Maguire race this year and the new Tailteann Cup competition.

THE LAST DAY of the 2022 GAA football league concluded in huge drama this afternoon with the winners and losers confirmed throughout the four divisions.

The Round 7 action concluded with Roscommon, Galway, Louth, Limerick, Cavan and Tipperary the counties celebrating promotion, while Kerry and Mayo will contest the Division 1 decider.

But it’s disappointment for Dublin, Kildare, Offaly, Down, Laois and Wicklow as they all suffer relegation.
