Leitrim to meet Antrim in ladies division four final

Leitrim progressed to the Lidl ladies league division four final after a one-12 to one-10 win over Fermanagh in their semi-final.

Leitrim will meet Antrim in the final on April 16, Antrim beating Limerick 3-16 to 1-11.

In Division 2, it was confirmed that Laois will join Armagh in the Final at Croke Park on April 15. They defeated Roscommon by 2-9 to 1-5 and go through on the head-to-head rule against Tipperary, having defeated them in the group stages. Roscommon are relegated after this loss.

In Division 3, the confirmed finalists are Clare and Kildare, following a dramatic final day of group action, with Longford relegated. Kildare beat Wexford to qualify.

That left Wexford in a three-way tie with Down and Clare but the margin of Clare’s 7-15 to 2-3 win over Longford not only sealed their place in the final but also sent Longford down to Division 4 for 2024, after they tied with Sligo and Offaly.

Donegal have been relegated from Division 1 of the Lidl Ladies National Football League.

Donegal’s fate was sealed following a 5-9 to 3-2 defeat to Mayo in Letterkenny on Sunday in a relegation shootout.

Mayo had their top flight status all but secured by the interval when they built up a commanding 4-5 to 0-1 interval lead.

They never looked like relinquishing that control, although Donegal came with a late flurry of three goals.

Elsewhere in Division 1 on Sunday, Kerry finished on top following victory over Galway at Tuam Stadium.

Both sides had already booked their place in the Lidl National League Division 1 Final and will meet again at Croke Park on Saturday April 15 (5pm).

Two goals from Louise Ní Mhuircheartaigh helped Kerry lead by 2-5 to 0-8 at the interval at Tuam Stadium, with Hannah O’Donoghue getting their third goal after the restart before they held off a spirited Galway rally.

Also in Division 1 on Sunday, a hat-trick from Orlagh Nolan helped Dublin to a 5-8 to 0-7 win over Waterford.

And on Saturday, Cork finished their campaign with a 2-8 to 0-11 win over All-Ireland champions Meath, with Libby Coppinger and Eimear Kelly getting the goals in the opening half.
