Great Meath win in Derry, where they couldn't win at their peak in '80s/'90s. And for a long time before too. Donal Keogan again underlines his quality, best Meath player of post Boylan era.

Limerick win the latest battle but the outcome of the war still very much in dispute after this Munster final. So many of Limerick's establishment came up with big moments in closing stages.

Louth beat Dublin in a championship game for the first time since 1973. Dublin lose back-to-back championship games for first time. All four goals they conceded were calamitous. Ciaran Byrne some Louth impact off the bench.

16,160 in Croke Park for Dublin v Louth. Long time since a Dublin championship game in Croke Park was as low.

Armagh's football impressive but their athleticism is something else again. They'd put a fair 4 x 100 relay team together!

Kilkenny hurlers out - haven't been right all season. And no quick fix in the short term for the county either.

Incredibly, Ulster football final goes to extra-time for a fifth consecutive year!

Martin McHugh was 36 when he managed Cavan to a first Ulster title in 28 years in 1997. Son Mark is 35 now managing Westmeath only a second ever Leinster title, first in 22 years. Unique achievement in the more modern era of the 'manager.'

Roscommon treble complete - Connacht minor, U-20 and senior titles in the one year for the first time. Came late to win 3-21 to 2-22. Darragh Heneghan with 2-2 in a decent Michael Donnellan impression.

@CiDeely @RonanFagan1 No, but the preference of counties apparently. Hotel availability a real pressure now. Donegal to Kerry, Meath to Cork, Kildare to Galway , probably Mayo to Monaghan all overnights.

Hard to disagree with Jack on this. Donegal game dominates conversation, even three weeks out. Apparently counties want earlier draw for planning. Split into two Monday provincial final weekends might work. independent.ie/sport/gaelic-g…

Jack McCarron has landed some clutch scores for Monaghan. Winning points from distance v Galway and Dublin to preserve Division 1 status in 2021 and 2022. But tonight trumped everything. Apart from Rory Beggan's coup de grace of course! Two of the best kickers in the game.

Brilliant game in Armagh, finishes Kerry 0-24 Armagh 1-21. Had everything, even the right result in Galway that has brought one of the day's biggest cheers from the locals!

Armagh appear to have been punished by new dissent rule - passed at Special Congress last year - where a 13-metre free is awarded 'against' on resumption for dissent by a team official during the break.

Nine years in, David Clifford and Sean O'Shea look like they're at their peak as footballers between last summer and now - which is some altitude. Really at their ease against Mayo there.

Surely a two-pointer first? Sean O'Shea off the ground from play in Tralee. Brilliant first time connection.

GAA's 'licencing' system to bring in a 'spending cap' among other measures passes at Congress with 59.1pc. Brings in a new inter-county certification programme.
