21:10: Well that's all for tonight folks. Wexford, Donegal, Monaghan, Meath, Wicklow, Tipperary, Longford and Down go on to the second round of the SFC, while Cork and Laois progress in the SHC. We'll be back to do it all again next Saturday. Slán.

20:29: In Portloaise it's Laois 0-17 Antrim 1-11.

20:26: Armagh have been awarded a very soft free in front of the posts as the clock ticks towards 70 minutes. It is converted - Monaghan 0-10 Armagh 0-10. Two minutes to be added on.

20:01: Charlie Vernon screws a shot horribly wide for Armagh. It's poor enough fare in Clones.

20:00: Colm Judge has been fouled in the area and Louth have been awarded a penalty. The corner-forward is receiving treatment.

But the Orchard men have just hit the front through a Steven McDonnell free - Monaghan 0-04 Armagh 0-05. Cork have hit seven wides in Tullamore, but now lead 0-08 to 1-04. Leitrim have taken control - Leitrim 0-05 Longford 0-01. Ulster champions Antrim have a narrow lead in Portlaoise - Laois 0-04 Antrim 0-05.
