2045 Thanks for reading this evening. It was a shame the match in Castlebar had to be abandoned but Armagh certainly made the headlines tonight. See you all tomorrow.

2034 Kilkenny find scant, scant consolation with a second point of the game but it is a crushing 19-point loss.

Full-time: Waterford 0-21 Kilkenny 0-02

2033 Glen Ryan's Longford have made a brilliant opening to the league campaign. Two wins out of two as they leave Kingspan Breffni Park with a three-point victory.

Full-time: Cavan 0-07 Longford 0-10

2032 An excellent performance from Armagh sees them pick up two points against Kerry. There was jeering at full-time from some of the home supporters. Their Kerry team were hugely disappointing tonight.

Full-time: Kerry 0-10 Armagh 2-08

2029 Finnian Moriarty receives a second yellow card for a cynical foul on James O'Donoghue. The Kerry forward fires over the free as we approach added-time. Kerry 0-10 Armagh 2-08

RED CARD - ARMAGH - FINNIAN MORIARTY

2027 Eugene Keating keeps Cavan in the game but it looks to be too late unless they can find a goal. Cavan 0-07 Longford 0-10

2025 Colm Watters' excellent score should seal it for Armagh. Kerry 0-08 Armagh 2-08

2022 It has been a disasterous evening for Kerry and this looks to be the end of their challenge. Tomas O Se knees an opposing player in the midriff - the Kerry players plead with the referee but the red card is produced.

2015 Duffy follows it up as Armagh profit from a poor kick out by the Kingdom. Kerry 0-07 Armagh 2-06

1933 Bryan Sheehan hits Kerry's third point in succession ahead of half-time. Kerry 0-03 Armagh 1-03

1929 In news to delight an already-flagging text commentator, the match has been abandoned due to the the fog that has come over McHale Park. The referee had little choice with visibility so poor. That is a big disappointment for the big crowd. Good news for James McCarthy?!

MATCH ABANDONED - MAYO 0-05 DUBLIN 0-08

1927 Kerry are within four of Armagh with Sean O'Sullivan scoring a first point from play a few minutes ago. Kerry 0-02 Armagh 1-03

1926 The referee still has the ball is hand and there is no sign of play. It is not looking good.

1925 Ray Galligan amongst the scores as Cavan fight back against Longford. Cavan 0-03 Longford 0-02

1923 Waterford pull further clear of Kilkenny with 23 minutes gone as Gary Hurney hits the latest score. Waterford 0-11 Kilkenny 0-01

1922 The fog that has descended on McHale Park is threatening the staging of the second-half. The referee Martin Duffy has extended half-time by five minutes and at the moment it looks like the game will be abandoned.

1919 A first point for Kerry as James O'Donoghue is pulled down close to goal and he converts an easy free. Kerry 0-01 Armagh 1-03

1917 This is McHale Park where fog has been hampering the view of some supporters. Thanks to PJ Gallagher for tweeting the photo. Yes, that PJ Gallagher.

1916 Aidan Forker fires over a free for Armagh to make it a six-point games. Kerry, scoreless and as flat as we have seen in a long time, are struggling to deal with the pace of the Armagh breaks. Kerry 0-00 Armagh 1-03

1913 Armagh are dominating this game and open up a deserved five-point lead. Brian Mallon finishes off a lovely move by planting the ball in the bottom of the net. Kerry 0-00 Armagh 1-02

GOAL - ARMAGH - BRIAN MALLON

1912 Waterford lead by four points after the first 10 minutes of action in Fraher Field. Waterford 0-05 Kilkenny 0-01

1911 The Dubs lead by three points at the end of a very entertaining 35 minutes of football. Without the red card, Pat Gilroy's men could be out of sight. Mayo are back in it now and the second period should be just as interesting.

Half-time: Mayo 0-05 Dublin 0-08

1909 Longford make an excellent start to game in Kingspan Breffni Park. They lead by two points. Cavan 0-00 Longford 0-02

1907 Aidan Forker opens the scoring for Armagh with a well-worked score. Kerry 0-00 Armagh 0-01

1905 McVerry is denied an early goal for Armagh after a block from the Kerry defence in the opening stages in Tralee.

1903 Conor Mortimer cuts the gap with a simple free two minutes before the end of the half. This is quite an entertaining encounter. Dublin were dominant but it is all-changed now. Mayo 0-05 Dublin 0-08

1900 Eoghan O'Gara uses his momentum to make space to shoot 20 metres out, but his effort is well off-target.

1857 Enda Varley hits the crossbar as he shoots for goal with the Dublin defenders out of position. It deflects over, according to the umpires at least. The Dublin players contest the decision but the point is given. Mayo 0-04 Dublin 0-08

1856 Peadar Gardiner has pulled up with an injury so he will have to be replaced.

1854 James McCarthy is dismissed for the use of an elbow on Alan Freeman. I don't know if McCarthy meant that but the contact was there. Big boost for Mayo.

RED CARD - DUBLIN - JAMES MCCARTHY

1852 Stephen Cluxton is up from his goal to take a free on the main stand side of McHale Park. He stores the five-point lead. Mayo 0-03 Dublin 0-08

1851 Important score for Mayo as Cillian O'Connor's effort for point hits the posts and eventually Enda Varley knocks it over. Mayo 0-03 Dublin 0-07

1847 This is turning into shooting practice as Kevin McManamon dummies his man and launches a fine kick over the bar. Mayo just can't keep the ball or deal with the movement of the Dublin forwards. Mayo 0-02 Dublin 0-07

1846 Donal Vaughan receives a yellow card Mossy Quinn knocks over another free. Eight scores in 16 minutes with six in-a-row for the Dubs. Ominous. Mayo 0-02 Dublin 0-06

1845 Mayo have to double up on Diarmuid Connolly. Dublin work it up field, Connolly pulls away from his man and lobs it over the bar. Mayo 0-02 Dublin 0-05

1844 The Dubs are on a roll as Connolly feeds Paul Brogan to send a high shot between the posts. The Dublin fans gathered behind the goal are finding their voice. Mayo could do with a score. Mayo 0-02 Dublin 0-04

1843 Tomas Quinn converts a routine free after Bryan Cullen was brought down when shooting for a point. Mayo 0-02 Dublin 0-03

1841 A goal chance for Diarmuid Connolly comes to another as he once again spun clear of the Mayo defenders. A combination of good recovery work from the defenders and David Clarke rescued the situation.

1838 Diarmuid Connolly is on form tonight, no doubt about that. Mayo can't get close to Connolly as he makes room to shoot and places it over the bar. Good score. Mayo 0-02 Dublin 0-02

1836 Diarmuid Connolly had a tough night in the defeat to Kerry but he begins this game in fine style. Connolly showed great patience to turn onto his right boot and fire it over. Mayo 0-02 Dublin 0-01

1835 Dias is penalised this time, with Conor Mortimer stepping up to take a central free, 30 metres from the goal. Mortimer makes no mistake, Mayo off to a good start. Mayo 0-02 Dublin 0-00

1832 Philly McMahon's foul allows Cillian O'Connor to score his first free of the year. Mayo 0-01 Dublin 0-00

1824 Jason Gibbons is in for Seamus O'Shea in a late change for Mayo on the substitutes bench.

1822 Longford had a fine win over Offaly last time out so they will look to build on that with the trip to Cavan. But our sole focus until 7pm is on events in Mayo.

1817 Told you. A big crowd is present in McHale Park. Isn't it nice to see Dublin on the road?

1757 I'll be back in 20 minutes for full updates on the evening's games.

1755 The first game is in Castlebar in 35 minutes. Read a preview here.
