FINAL SCORE: CORK 1-17 MAYO 0-12
17.35 Well that's it from Croke Park as another Allianz NFL campaign comes to a close - the only thing left to do before we get out of here is for Michael Shields to lift the cup and say a few words... And...there you go, a few hip hip horays and we'll see you next month when the real action kicks in. Good luck.
71 mins Andy Moran breaks clear and hits a nice shot on target - well saved by Paddy O'Shea. Kilcoyne hits the 45 wide - poor effort. Nicholas Murphy gets the mark, maybe the last you'll ever see as there'll be none of that messing in the Championship. Ref blows the final whistle and puts Mayo out of their misery. Rebels abú.
70 mins Last minute now as Cork unload the bench to give a few lads a run out. Two additional minutes, no need ref, surely...
68 mins Dillon knocks another one over from a free and then O'Shea bursts through to add another for Mayo - way too late for the Green & Red.
65 mins Well Mayo are still having a go but it's way too late - point for Andy Moran.
63 mins GOAL CORK And just to confirm, Cork come back up the field work it inside to the unmarked Goulding who finds the back of the net.
62 mins Another two quick points for Cork, I'm officially calling this - it's over...
60 mins Dangerous ball played across the Mayo square - Clarke comes charging out off his line and intercepts to clear. Would have been very embarrassed if he missed that. It would have been a certain goal.
58 mins Yellow card for Liam O'Malley for smashing into Kissane. Ouch. Goulding takes the free and scores.
57 mins Sure enough - as Mayo score, Cork go up the field and respond. Mayo at least fight back again to force the free and secure another point.
55 mins Conor Mortimer looks like Mayo's only option this time scoring a free from the right touchline. Still look out of it approaching the last ten minutes.
53 mins Daniel Goulding gives Cork a six-point lead, cutting in from the left to score. Looking ominous for Mayo now. Mayo clueless the last 10 minutes.
51 mins Aidan Kilcoyne on for captain Trevor Mortimer.
50 mins Another free for Cork, this time from the left wing. O'Connor hits but falls short - Clarke fumbles but gathers and clears. Only as far as Aidan Walsh who takes a handy point.
48 mins Daniel Goulding has a great chance to open the gap to five points. Clips the free wide of the far post. Should have scored, angle wasn't that difficult.
47 mins Point for Alan O'Connor who gets a great punch on a long free kick - Daviv Clarke does well to tip it over the bar for a point. Four points ahead again.
44 mins Informed that the official attendance is 27,005 - looks fewer on television to be honest. Must be all in the Premium level enjoying a brew and maybe some of those chicken and stuffing sandwiches I've heard so much about.
41 mins Aidan O'Shea holds the ball up well for Mayo - cuts it back for Trevor Mortimer who slides in on goal but cannot connect. Cork clear and travel up the field and add their first point of the second half.
39 mins Kissane tries to get Cork going with a long-distance effort - high and wide.
37 mins Mortimer hits his fifth point of the game - a free from just outside the square - Cork yet to get going in the second half.
36 mins Game on and Mayo break down the left with Alan Dillon feeding Conor Mortimer. Picks his spot and drifts one in from the left and over the bar. Subline strike by Mortimer.
16.55 Teams back out for the second half - Ronan McGarrity on for Mayo in place of Ronaldson.
35 mins O'Connor takes the free from distance and converts to bring his tally to five and Cork's to nine as the ref blows his whistle for half-time.
34 mins Yellow card Andy Moran.
33 mins Terrible sideline from Cork intercepted by Kevin McLoughlin who rampages forward from the half-way line, feeds Conor Mortimer who does the business and takes his point.
32 mins Cork seem to respond every time Mayo score - this time Donncha O'Connor stays strong to compose himself and add another point to his tally.
31 mins Mayo put a nice move together down the left - Conor Mortimer steams onto the ball and smashes it over from 20 yards out - great score.
30 mins Game a bit scrappy in the midfield with neither team commanding possession - Cork's finishing is the difference so far.
28 mins Cork break up the left and win a free close to the touchline - Donncha O'Connor kicks off the ground a peach of a free straight over the bar.
26 mins Mortimer fouled by Paudie Kissane free to Mayo - over the bar cuts lead to three points
22 mins Fintan Gould and Alan Dillon collide - Dillon goes down and the ref gives him a free - very soft. Dillon dusts himself down to pop over the point.
20 mins Goulding hits Cork's first wide of the game - Mayo have five wides already - could prove costly later on.
17 mins Another chance for Mayo as O'Shea's effort is superbly blocked by Jamie O'Sullivan. Cork respond to the Mayo pressure with two quick points to open a five-point lead.
16 mins Mayo back in the game here and Kevin McLoughlin lobs a beauty into the small square for Aidan O'Shea. O'Shea gets a fist on it but it crashes off the bar and clear. Ronaldson then has a better chance to score but he blasts it wide.
15 mins Mayo break up the right and ball dropped in on top of Paddy O'Shea in the Cork goal. Keeper clears and takes a smack in the back off the post for his troubles.
13 mins Cork again win midfield possession and ball finds it way to Paddy Kelly who fires one over from the left from distance. Great score.
12 mins Mayo cannot get out of their own half as the ball played back into Paul Kerrigan who slots it over to give Cork a two-point lead.
11 mins Cork break down the right and Daniel Goulding gets on it - looks up and bangs one over from the wing. Fine point.
10 mins It's all Mayo at the moment but not making the most of their possession. Another wide there as Cork break up the field.
7 mins Bigger crowd inside the stadium but still looks sparse compared to the size of the place - A nice 10-15,000 seater stadium may have been a better option for atmosphere.
6 mins Mayo on the board thanks to a well taken point by Seamus O'Shea after a nice hand pass from mark Ronaldson. Very bright start to the game, Ronaldson.
5 mins Tom Parsons breaks through from midfield. Kicks wide but looked to be fouled as he kicked. Ref not having it though.
3 mins Cork break clear down the left. Sheehan pops it over the bar to get the Rabels on the scoreboard.
1 min Mayo on the attack as Ronaldson tries his luck from distance - just wide.
16.04 First half kicks off
16.03 A very moving tribute to Leitrim's Philip McGuinness who tragically died last week. RIP.
15.59 Teams: Mayo: 1 Clarke, 2 Barrett, 3 Kafferkey, 4 O'Malley, 5 Vaughan, 6 Howley, 7 McLoughlin, 8 Parsons, 9 O'Shea, 10 Moran, 11 Dillon, 12 T Mortimer, 13 C Mortimer (capt), 14 O'Shea, 15 Ronaldson.
Cork: 1 O'Shea, 2 Carey, 3 Shields (capt), 4 Cotter, 5 O'Leary, 6 Kissane, 7 O'Sullivan, 8 A O'Connor, 9 Walsh, 10 Goold, 11 D O'Connor, 12 Kelly, 13 Goulding, 14 Sheehan, 15 Kerrigan.
15.55 And we're back - teams are out and the band is on the march. Raining in Dublin now so expect a slippy encounter.
15.37 A very entertaining curtain-raiser there in Croker as Armagh held on for victory - a contest like that would not have looked out of place in August or September. Should make for a very interesting Ulster Championship this summer. If Marty Clarke hangs around, Down could be a serious challange for Ulster honours. Meanwhile, Steven McDonnell has just received his trophy and is mid-speech. Time for a cup of tea, methinks, ahead of the big one. Back before the kick-off.
FINAL SCORE: ARMAGH 0-17 DOWN 1-12
73 mins Last chance for Down who drop one into the small square leading to some form of pile-up in front of the goal. Ball buried beneath about 10 bodies. Free out for Armagh is the decision. Ball kicked to touch and the final whistle is blown as Armagh are crowned Allianz NFL Division 2 champions.
72 mins Linesman calls ref to an off the ball incident - McCartan sent off for stamping on Kernan when he was getting up off the ground.
70 mins Two minutes of added time as Down break forward. McKeever gets a yellow for lamping Coulter. Down play it short and quick. Coulter and Clarke work it into the square and feed King who snatches at his shot and has to settle for a point. Should have tested the keeper there.
68 mins Mackin and Kernan score two quick points to open a three-point gap. Down need another goal now or else the title is going to the Orchard men.
66 mins The pace of the second half has been so frenetic that we haven't had a chance to comment on Paul Hearty's shorts. Well Gaelic footballers are renowned for wearing shorts that are a bit too small for them but Hearty appears to be wearing knee-length peddle-pushers, I think they're called - on the other hand they could be cycling shorts that are way too big for him. I'm sure they're just padded shorts really...
65 mins Armagh go straight up the field. Great hand pass to Mackin who blasts over the bar to edge Armagh ahead by a point.
64 mins Garvey levels matters once more with a lovely point from the right wing. Looked to be going wide and nearly deceived Hearty who parries it over.
63 mins Clarke lobs another one on top of the Armagh keeper but this time Hearty takes no chances and punches clear.
62 mins Mal Mackin breaks clear for Armagh but chopped down on the edge of the square. Kernan taps over to nudge Armagh ahead once more.
60 mins Yellow cards for Clarke and Moriarty.
59 mins Lovely link up play by Armagh as Kernan feeds sub Forker who blasts over to level the scores again.
55 mins Free for down in from of the posts but out 45 metres. No problem to Clarke - a beautiful left foot has Clarke, no wonder Collingwood want him back.
53 mins Stevie McDonnell off down the left wing - has to shoot from distance as he is about to get clattered - would have been a gracking point but the bit of swerve on the ball sees it drift past the far post and wide.
51 mins Moriarty taken out of it after playing the ball - elbow to the windpipe by the looks of it - not malicious though, I wouldn't say. Another point for McDonnell - scores level again.
50 mins Swift gets on the end of a great bit of Armagh play and reduces the defecit to a point.
47 mins Coulter adds another to the Down tally - nice score.
45 mins Just looking at that replay and Hearty really won't want to see that one again. Has to command that bit of space in front of his goal. Should have got something on it.
44 mins GOAL DOWN Marty Clarke hits a cracking free into the danger area - from way out on the right wing. Lovely curling ball heading for the top left-hand corner of the goal as Benny Coulter flies in to fist past a hapless Paul Hearty for the first goal of the Division 2 final.
43 mins Textbook build-up by Armagh finds McDonnell in space who makes no mistake with the finish. Two points clear now.
42 mins McVeigh does well in the Down goal to prevent an Armagh attack. A quick ball out and Down set to counter attack but broken up by Armagh. Good tempo to this game now.
40 mins Swift chopped down by McKernan on the edge of the square. Aaron Kernan taps over the free to put Armagh a point ahead.
39 mins Down starting to boss this now with Clarke dropping into midfield and the half-backs are also pushing high up the field. Yellow card there for Garvey for fouling and McArdle on the book for what must have been a bit of lip.
37 mins Peter Fitzpatrick receives the ball just inside the Armagh half. Gets forward and blasts a fantastic free over to level the scores.
36 mins Marty Clarke drops deep to collect the ball. Feeds Benny Coulter down the left. Coulter draws the free but McComiskey hits a poor effort well wide.
14.52 Teams are back out and all set for second half. Doesn't look like there are any changes to report for Armagh. Conor Maginn on for Down in place of Stephen Kearney. A few Mayo jerseys starting to pop up in the crowd.
14.45 Quick run through of the teams for you: Down: 1 McVeigh, 2 McCartan, 3 McArdle, 18 Brannigan, 5 McKernan, 6 Colgan, 7 Garvey, 20 Fitzpatrick, 9 King, 10 Kearney, 11 M Clarke, 12 Hughes, 13 McComiskey, 14 J Clarke, 15 Coulter.
Armagh: 1 Hearty, 2 A Mallon, 3 Donaghy, 4 Shannon, 5 Duffy, 6 McKeever, 7 Moriarty, 8 Lavery, 9 toner, 10 Vernon, 11 Kernan, 12 Swift, 13 B Mallon, 15 McDonnell, 17 Henderson.
35 mins Game getting going now, pity the half-time break is about to arrive. End to end stuff as Armagh break through and McDonnell levels the scores. Make that two for McDonnell in a minute as he puts Armagh ahead by a point as the teams run down the tunnel for some well-deserved chopped oranges. Back after the break for more of this Ulster fry-up.
35 mins Down take the lead for the first time thanks to a McComiskey point.
33 mins Coulter drops deep and ball gets to McKernan who drops the ball into the danger area - keeper makes enough of a nuisance of himself to stop Down scoring.
32 mins Hughes kicks a great point after some good play by Down in the midfield. Scores level
30 mins Great build-up play by Kernan and Moriarty as Armagh attack down the left but effort blazed wide, all the good work down the Swanny there.
29 mins Coulter causing problems in the Armagh defence and the keeper comes out but gets nowhere near the ball. Coulter is fouled just outside the box and Clarke makes it four points for his personal tally. One point game again.
27 mins Armagh push further ahead as Duffy forages forward and cracks over a nice point.
25 mins Swift back on the pitch after getting a bit of attention to that smack on the head - must have been a bit of blood there.
24 mins First goal attempt of the afternoon as McDonnell is played in over the top. e cuts in from the left and tries to slide the ball home but just misses past the far post and wide.
22 mins Gareth Swift breaks clear again and gets into a great scoring position but misses the target wide to the right and gets a smack in the back of the head for his troubles.
21 mins Great score by Marty Clarke - a free from about 50 metres sails over the bar.
18 mins Great point by Swift there with a couple of Armagh wides either side of it.
16 mins Another wide for Down, but to be honest, it looked like it was good. Down appeal but the big NO signal from the umpire is the last we'll hear of it. Tune into Sunday Sport on RTE Two tonight for highlights. That no-point could be vital at the end of play.
15 mins Swift and McDonell involved again as Armagh attack. Ball dropped into the small square, punched away by the Down keeper and to safety.
14 mins Armagh put another score on the board but Down break again and Kernan has to foul - this time it was a foul - and Clarke sticks another one over to reduce the gap to a point once again.
11 mins Another soft free this time to Down on the edge of the square, which Clarke pops over for his first of the day. You honestly wouldn't have got called up in basketball for those two frees that the ref just called. What's the game coming to...
9 mins Down back in the game now and Coulter and Clarke getting lots of possession. Coulter has hit a couple wayward but looks to be in a nice bit of form.
7 mins Free for Down out on the right touchline. Marty Clarke hits the free but drops wide of the far post. Would have got a point for Collingwood for that effort... See if I can get through the rest of the game without mentioning Clarke, Collingwood, Aussie Rules,... doubt it.
5 mins Down finally get on the scoreboard as Hughes breaks from midfield. Hughes to Marty Clarke and pops it off to Benny Coulter who scores from distance. Great score.
3 mins Swift in on the Down keeper and ball drops on the goal line but cleared for a 45. It's all Armagh at the moment. Down yet to get started. McDonnell pops it over, no problems.
2 mins Very soft free for Armagh for a mild bump on McDonnell. Kernan pops it over from the same spot as the first point. Very composed there by Kernan.
1 min Ref throws in and Armagh off to a flier as Stevie McDonnell pops it over from the right with less than 15 seconds on the clock.
14.00 Getting ready to go here for the first final of this double header. Some team news, Rafferty and Rogers missing for Down - Ronan Clarke out for Armagh.
13.50 Armagh and Down are out doing their warm-ups on the pitch, which is looking in great shape in fairness. Crowds not too impressive just yet, maybe 5,000 inside the ground. Should be a lot more through the turnstiles before throw-in.
13.10 Less than an hour to go now for the first final of the day and big crowds reported coming from the north for the clash of Down and Armagh. Can Mayo and Cork match the Ulster men for support this afternoon?
12.15 Weather report from Croke Park. The sun is threatening to come out but scattered showers are frequent at the moment, which should make for a greasy surface. Set to brighten up for the afternoon, so if you're sitting at home saying, nah, don't fancy it, well get that old bottle of sun cream out and head for Headquarters, I hear the stalls are doing a mean chicken and stuffing sandwich this afternoon.
