As the temperature spilled over with Donegal and Armagh’s panels getting up close and personal at the full-time whistle in Letterkenny yesterday, their Ulster SFC meeting in just four weeks time in Ballybofey is likely to raise the roof.

Patrick McBrearty kicked a 75th minute winner for Declan Bonner’s side, which freed them from the complexities beneath on a dramatic last day in Division 1, against an Armagh team who had done enough to ensure their survival beforehand.

Today's results mean the Division 1 final will be contested between Kerry and Mayo

Donegal's 1-14 to 1-13 win over Armagh was enough for a fourth-place finish for Donegal, while Armagh were safe from last week, alongside Mayo and Kerry who also were looking up instead of down.

A Jack McCarron free gave Monaghan a 3-13 to 1-18 win over Dublin to keep Seamus McEnaney's side afloat and relegate Dublin, while a 2-20 to 0-18 victory for Mayo against Kildare in Carrick-on-Shannon relegated the Leinster side. Tyrone won for the first time in Killarney in 19 years to stay up, the final score 1-15 to 2-11 for the All-Ireland champions.
