Roscommon kept up their winning streak, while Cork got back on track against Monaghan on Sunday. 

The form team at the moment in the league, Roscommon sealed their fourth victory on the trot against Donegal on Sunday in Letterkenny. 

Cathal Clegg was the hero as his late goal meant that they saw off the second-half challenge of Donegal, who had been trailing from the early stages, securing a 1-19 to 0-17 win and all but sealing a spot in the semi-final.

Goals from Johnny Buckley and Donnachadh Walsh were to prove the difference as Kerry were 2-13 to 0-14 winners over Mayo. While there was less violence than in last week's clash against Donegal, both sides saw red in this game, with Kieran Donaghy and Diarmuid O’Connor both given their marching orders after picking up two yellows.

Cork also got back to winning ways with a 1-20 to 1-13 win over Mongahan. Their bright start to the game saw them race out to a 1-07 to 0-01 lead over their opponents, which left them with simply too much to do to get back into the game.

The Galway hurlers weren't the only side involved in a game with some last minute drama either, as a late goal saw the footballers draw level with 13-man Antrim as the sides finished with 1-15 a piece. 

Galway were trailing by eight points at one stage in the second-half, but with the departures of Ethan Rafferty and Aidan Forker (both men were given their second yellows) Galway managed to get themselves back within touching distance before a late, late goal from Danny Cummins brought them an improbable draw.

There will probably be some extra defensive work done for both Wexford and Wicklow as there was no shortage of scores for either side in a game that finished 4-23 to 3-14.
