18.36 – FT: Division 3 FL: Meath 1-17 Sligo 2-12: Great comeback victory for the Royals in Páirc Tailteann in Navan. Meath trailed by 2-9 to 1-4 at the break with goals from Shane McManus and Adrian Marren for Sligo in the opening-half while Stephen Bray raised Meath’s green flag. But Meath kicked on in the second-half with Mickey Newman and Ciaran Lenehan inspiring them to victory.
18.46 – Just a quick recap of some of today’s earlier games.
- Division 3 FL: Conor McManus struck 2-7 as Monaghan stayed top of the table after a 5-13 to 3-10 win over Wicklow in Clones. A late Anto Healy goal for Antrim couldn’t prevent them from falling to Roscommon in Casement Park by 0-11 to 1-6.
- Division 4 FL: Limerick suffered their first defeat of the campaign in the Gaelic Grounds this afternoon by 0-15 to 0-9 against Tipperary, who had Barry Grogan in great scoring form. The win puts Tipperary back in the shake-up for promotion while they are joined on six points by Offaly, who were 2-11 to 1-11 victors over Carlow today in Tullamore. The final game in this division saw Leitrim comfortably defeat Waterford in Carrick-on-Shannon by 3-14 to 3-7.
- Division 1B HL: Wexford were comfortable victors by 2-21 to 1-12 against Antrim in Wexford Park. David Redmond and Rory Jacob struck the goals for Wexford.

20.50 – Here’s a recap on some of the main talking points from today’s action.
- Division 1 FL: Dublin fell to their first defeat of the campaign against Tyrone and are now joined at the top of the table by Mickey Harte’s side and Kildare, who enjoyed a rewarding trip to Castlebar to face Mayo. At the bottom end of the table Mayo, Down and Kerry all have only two points to show but for the Kingdom, it was a vital night as they got off the mark. A big win for Cork as well against Donegal but their success was marred by the suspected cruciate ligament injury suffered by Colm O’Neill.
20.55 –
- Division 2 FL: Derry go top of the table after triumphing against a Longford team that now look on course for relegation after a fifth straight loss. Vital wins for Laois and Louth to ensure they start to move into the top half of the table.
21.00 –
- Division 3 FL: Monaghan remain top of the table after thumping Wicklow today while Meath, Fermanagh and Roscommon also claimed victories.
- Division 4 FL: Tipperary are back in the hunt for promotion after handing Limerick their first defeat of the campaign today. Offaly are also edging towards the top after beating Carlow this afternoon while Leitrim overturned Waterford.
