Donegal maintained their perfect record at the top of Division One with a 1-20 to 0-19 win over Armagh at the Athletic Grounds. Jim McGuinness' side has won all four games, while Armagh suffered their third consecutive defeat and now face a battle to retain their top-tier status. The victory was built on a strong first-half performance and a crucial second-half goal from Conor O'Donnell.

In a dominant display, Mayo crushed Monaghan 2-30 to 2-11 in Clones, with Aidan O'Shea scoring a vital goal and Kobe McDonald contributing 1-4 from the bench. Monaghan's fourth straight defeat leaves them rooted to the bottom of the table without a point. The loss was compounded by Ryan O'Donoghue's missed penalty, though he did convert the rebound for a point.

Tyrone's promotion hopes suffered a blow as they lost 1-15 to 0-13 away to Louth, while Cavan secured a crucial 0-16 to 0-13 win over Kildare to move within one point of safety. Down continued their strong form with a 2-29 to 1-19 victory away to Wexford, maintaining their lead in Division Three. Fermanagh's survival bid took a hit with a 1-26 to 2-11 defeat by Westmeath, leaving them with just two points from four games.
