Donegal remain top of Division One after fighting back with 14 men to draw against Galway, keeping their league final hopes alive. Jim McGuinness praised his team's resilience as Peadar Mogan nailed a late two-pointer to level the game. The Ulster champions have won three of their five games and are building momentum ahead of their Ulster Championship opener.

Derry continue their impressive run in Division Two with a dominant 20-point victory over Cork, confounding predictions that Tyrone would be the promotion frontrunners. Ciaran Meenagh's side now sit tied at the top alongside Cork and Meath but hold a significant scoring advantage. Meanwhile, Monaghan appear doomed to relegation after five straight defeats, with their next games against Galway and Donegal unlikely to change their fate.

Antrim's hurlers suffered another heavy defeat, losing by 15 points to Dublin in a game that highlighted the gulf between the counties. Despite the loss, Davy Fitzgerald's side remain in contention for Division 1B survival with games against Waterford and London to come. Down maintained their perfect start in Division Three with victory over Fermanagh, needing just one point from their final two games to secure promotion and avoid the Tailteann Cup.
