Allianz Football League Division One

Dublin v Monaghan, Croke Park, 3pm

Dublin earned the point that was needed in Salthill to secure an Allianz Football League Final berth.

Monaghan's spring has been sprinkled with good results suffering only two defeats against Mayo and Galway.

Getting another spin out at GAA headquarters will help Monaghan prepare for their eagerly anticipated Ulster Championship showdown with Tyrone.

Dublin are back at the Jones Road venue next weekend for the decider against Galway so this will be an ideal audition.

MONAGHAN: Rory Beggan; Colin Walshe, Conor Boyle, Kieran Duffy; Barry Kerr, Drew Wylie, Karl O'Connell; Darren Hughes, Niall Kearns; Desie Ward, Dermot Malone, Ryan McAnespie; David Garland, Kieran Hughes, Conor McManus.

Donegal v Mayo, Ballybofey, 3pm

This winner survives battle will bring a bumper crowd to Ballybofey.

Mayo have recorded two successes on the road this spring and they need a draw or a win to preserve Division One status.

Donegal want to achieve the same objective, but only a victory will suffice for Declan Bonner's outfit.

There is a nice blend of youth and experience in the Donegal panel, but relegation would be a severe setback. It would be for Mayo too so the stakes are piled high in the north west.

Kildare v Galway, Newbridge, 3pm

This time last year in Division Two Kildare went to Pearse Stadium for the last game in the group.

Galway needed a result, Kildare had already secured their spot in the top flight.

Kevin Walsh's team have flourished securing 11 points from a possible 12, including a stirring draw against All Ireland champions Dublin.

Kildare have suffered six losses in a row and they will be eager to end that sequence in Newbridge.

KILDARE: Mark Donnellan; Peter Kelly, David Hyland, Mick Hyland; Johnny Byrne, Eoin Doyle, Kevin Flynn; Kevin Feely, Tommy Moolick; Fergal Conway, Keith Cribbin, Paul Cribbin; Jimmy Hyland, Daniel Flynn, Paddy Brophy.

Tyrone v Kerry, Omagh, 3pm

It has been a mixed League campaign for these two teams, who have identical records.

Kerry took satisfaction from the manner of their triumphs over Donegal and Mayo, especially.

Tyrone suffered a couple of early setbacks, but have won three of their last four matches which was sufficient to stay in Division One.

Mickey Harte's charges delivered when it truly counted at Elverys MacHale Park last Sunday with Mattie Donnelly starring.

TYRONE: Niall Morgan; Padraig Hampsey, Ronan McNamee, Aidan McCrory; Ronan McNabb, Frank Burns, Rory Brennan; Colm Cavanagh, Declan McClure; Mattie Donnelly, Peter Harte, Conal McCann; Lee Brennan, Cathal McShane, Ronan O'Neill.

KERRY: Brian Kelly; Brian O Beaglaoich, Jason Foley, Tom O'Sullivan; Cormac Coffey, Mark Griffin, Fionn Fitzgerald; Jack Barry, David Moran; Micheal Burns, Daithi Casey, Kevin McCarthy; Killian Spillane, Johnny Buckley, Stephen O'Brien.

Allianz Football League Divsion Two

Roscommon v Cork, Dr Hyde Park, 3pm

With Ciarain Murtagh to the fore Roscommon edged nearer to promotion by beating Cavan.

Now Kevin McStay's team want to close the deal on home turf, but Cork are dangerous opposition.

Cork have won three and lost three, but they have the ability to cause problems when in the mood.

Roscommon, though, have shown some encouraging signs in their recent successes over Clare and Cavan.

ROSCOMMON: Colm Lavin; David Murray, Peter Domican, Fergal Lennon; Conor Daly, Ultan Harney, Brian Stack; Tadhg O'Rourke, Cathal Compton; Ciarain Murtagh, Niall Kilroy, Conor Devanney; Donie Smith, Ciaran Lennon, Diarmuid Murtagh.

CORK: Ryan Price; Sam Ryan, Jamie O'Sullivan, Kevin Flahive; Kevin Crowley, Sean Wilson, Tom Clancy; Ian Maguire, Cillian O'Hanlon; Matthew Taylor, Mark Collins, Ronan O'Toole; Colm O'Neill, Peter Kelleher, John O'Rourke.

Cavan v Tipperary, Kingspan Breffni, 3pm

Cavan endured a first League defeat against Roscommon at Dr Hyde Park.

Mattie McGleenan's outfit, though, will be completely aware of the importance of this contest against a Tipp team that has enjoyed a couple of fine Kingspan Breffni wins in recent years.

Liam Kearns' lively collection of Tipperary footballers adapted quickly to Division Two and are well placed to claim a second successive promotion.

Cavan, though, can also earn a top two spot so this should be interesting.

CAVAN: Raymond Galligan; Jason McLoughlin, Padraig Faulkner, Enda Flanagan; Martin Reilly, Ciaran Brady, Conor Moynagh; Gearoid McKiernan, Killian Clarke; Dara McVeety, Bryan Magee, Oisin Kiernan; Caoimhin O'Reilly, Cian Mackey, Conor Bradley.

TIPPERARY: Ciaran Kenrick; Alan Campbell, Paddy Codd, John Meagher; Bill Maher, Robbie Kiely, Jimmy Feehan; Steven O'Brien, Liam Casey; Josh Keane, Jason Longergan, Brian Fox; Conor Sweeney, Michael Quinlivan, Liam McGrath.

Clare v Louth, Cusack Park, Ennis, 3pm

Gary Brennan and Jamie Malone prompted Clare to a splendid win at Pairc Ui Rinn.

It was another reminder of how far Colm Collins' team has travelled in a relatively short space of time.

Following successive promotions, Louth have been forced to deal with some tough injuries and defeats in Division Two.

Meath v Down, Pairc Tailteann, Navan, 3pm

Retaining Division Two status is the objective for Meath and Down.

That is why this game matters in Navan with Meath disappointed not to have built on a reasonable start to the competition.

Whoever loses this match will be in deep distress ahead of a difficult last match so a full blooded affair is expected at Pairc Tailteann.

MEATH: Andrew Colgan; Seamus Lavin, Conor McGill, Brian Power; James McEntee, Donal Keogan, Shane McEntee; Bryan Menton, Adam Flanagan; Eamon Wallace, Ben Brennan, Graham Reilly; Cillian O'Sullivan, Thomas O'Reilly, Donal Lenihan.

Allianz Football League Division Three

Longford v Fermanagh, Glennon Brothers Pearse Park, 3pm

Promotion will be attained by the victor so an interesting encounter looms.

Despite missing some key players Longford did enough to beat neighbours Westmeath last week and Dennis Connerton's team are now nicely placed.

Fermanagh divided the spoils following an attritional contest against Armagh.

Rory Gallagher's team will know that Longford are dangerous opponents.

Sligo v Derry, Markievicz Park, 3pm

Considering the amount of emerging players in both panels Sligo and Derry will simply be content to retain Division Three status.

Sligo fought until the bitter end against Offaly on Monday as a late Niall Murphy score earned a point. That could prove to be a very important intervention.

Westmeath v Offaly, TEG Cusack Park, 3pm

When these midland neighbours collide it is worth monitoring.

Offaly can still avoid the drop so they will be gunning for a win and hope that results elsewhere are favourable.

Colin Kelly has made a satisfactory start as Westmeath boss winning four from six encounters thus far.

WESTMEATH: Kevin Fagan; Mark McCallon, Killian Daly, Boidu Sayeh; Ronan Wallace, Jamie Gonoud, James Dolan; Alan Stone, Denis Corroon; Luke Loughlin, Ronan O'Toole, Kieran Martin; John Connellan, Callum McCormack, Tommy McDaniel.

OFFALY: Paddy Dunican, Declan Hogan, Paul McConway, Sean Pender; David Dempsey, James Lalor, Niall Darby; Peter Cunningham, Michael Brazil; Conor McNamee, Anton Sullivan, Cian Donohue; Bernard Allen, Conor Carroll, Nigel Dunne.

Wexford v Armagh, Innovate Wexford Park, 3pm

Already relegated Wexford face Armagh, who secured promotion last weekend.

Kieran McGeeney's team are now looking forward to a Croke Park Division Three decider, while Wexford won't want to finish the spring without a point.

ARMAGH: Patrick Morrison; Oisin Lappin, Aaron McKay, Jamie Cosgrove; Ryan Kennedy, Brendan Donaghy, Gregory McCabe; Stephen Sheridan, Aaron Findon; Ronan Lappin, Anthony Duffy, Oisin Mac Iomhair; Gavin McParland, Andrew Murnin, Edward English.

Allianz Football League Division Four

Carlow v Laois, Netwatch Cullen Park, 1pm

Carlow were promoted following a fine victory over Antrim, but Laois want to achieve the same feat themselves.

Gary Walsh's precise finishing has helped steer John Sugrue's team to five wins in a row.

Laois want to operate at a higher level and their panel features several accomplished footballers, who will know about Carlow's passion and purpose.

LAOIS: Graham Brody; Stephen Attride, Mark Timmons, Gareth Dillon; Trevor Collins, Colm Begley, Robert Piggott; John O'Loughlin, Kieran Lillis; Alan Farrell, Benny Carroll, Brian Glynn; Evan O'Carroll, Gary Walsh, Donie Kingston.

Limerick v Antrim, Newcastlewest, 1pm

Limerick have improved in recent weeks, but this will be a demanding encounter against Antrim.

Lenny Harbinson's team were disappointed to lose against Carlow, but can still earn promotion by winning and hoping results go their way.

LIMERICK: Donal O'Sullivan; Garrett Noonan, Sean O'Dea, Brian Fanning; Colm McSweeney, Paul White, David Connolly; Darragh Treacy, Tommy Griffin; Peter Nash, Cillian Fahy, Josh Ryan; Danny Neville, Patrick Begley, Jamie Lee.

ANTRIM: Chris Kerr; Peter Healy, Patrick Gallagher, Niall Delargy; Kevin O'Boyle, Mark Sweeney, James Laverty; Niall McKeever, Paddy McAleer; Matthew Fitzpatrick, Conor Murray, Patrick McBride; CJ McGourty, Colum Duffin, Ryan Murray.

London v Waterford, McGovern Park, Ruislip, 1pm

Busy preparing for their early May Connacht Championship clash against Sligo, London will want to register a second win of the League.

Ciaran Deely's team has been highly competitive throughout the spring and will feel that another positive result can be posted.

Waterford have been competitive, but only one point is deposited in the Deise account. Tom McGlinchey will want to improve that in Waterford's remaining two fixtures.

Leitrim v Wicklow, Carrick-on-Shannon, 1pm

It has been a tough stint for Leitrim and Wicklow, two teams in transition, during the past few months.

Emlyn Mulligan's return for Leitrim is noteworthy and Brendan Guckian's outfit are hopeful about finishing the spring strongly.
