3:39pm: Wow. Incredible drama at both ends of Division 3. A late goal sees Wexford beat Westmeath to earn promotion to Division 2. Limerick came back from nine points down at the break against Fermanagh to win by one but it's not enough to stop them being relegated. Sligo beat Clare by one to stay up.
3:37pm: Wexford lead against Westmeath! A late goal from Sean Ryan with seconds remaining gets Wexford the win against Westmeath. They have been promoted!

3:23pm: Armagh win the toss in Armagh and choose to play with a stiff, if diagonal, breeze at their backs in the first-half against Kerry.
3:18pm: Bad news for Limerick's hopes of not being relegated from Division 3. Sligo have scored two goals in three minutes to lead Clare by three.
3:15pm: Limerick are back in it against Fermanagh. They trail by three having been down nine at the break.
3:09pm: A few changes for Kerry ahead of their game in Armagh: Mark O'Shea is in for Cillian Trant, Mike Breen comes in for Tadhg Morley who drops out of the squad, and Donagh O'Sullivan is brought onto the bench. One change for Armagh with Paddy Burns in for Callum O'Neill.
3:05pm: Clare lead Sligo 0-20 to 0-16. At the moment, it looks like Westmeath will be joining Down in being promoted to Division 2.

2:53pm: As that good news arrives for Cork, there's sad news for the GAA community as a whole. Former Sunday Game presenter Michael Lyster has died.

1:54pm: As things stand, Cork and Meath will be promoted to Division 1 while Kildare and Offally will be relegated to Division 3.
1:52pm: Half-time: Tyrone 0-8 Cork 0-9. Tyrone have finished the half as the better side but Cork will be delighted to be ahead with a good breeze behind them in the second half. Nine points from 12 scoring chances is a fine return.
1:51pm: Tyrone are in the ascendancy as the half closes but really they should be ahead with this wind advantage.

1:36pm: Three points on the trot for Cork, the latest by Tommy Walsh. They are spoiling so many Tyrone kick-outs. Tyrone are being cut open so much you would think there will be a Cork goal at some stage. It's Cork 0-8 Tyrone 0-3. John Fogarty
1:34pm: Cork manage to recycle the ball outside the arc after they are nearly turned over. Colm O'Callaghan feeds Ian Maguire and the Cork captain kicks his first point. Moments later, Chris Óg Jones fists over his first point of the game. Cork lead 0-7 to 0-3.
1:32pm: Cork's start has been extremely good. Tyrone's tactics have played into their hands too but there has been some fine football. Sean McDonnell just had a goal attempt kept out and Ethan Jordan responded with a two-pointer to cut the margin to two. Cork are more certain in their play.
1:30pm: Just as we type that about the Tyrone keeper, he pulls off a good save to stop a Cork goal chance. Up the other end of the pitch, Tyrone kick a two-pointer through Ethan Jordan. Cork's lead cut to two points.
1:29pm: Luke Fahy kicks Cork's fifth point. They lead 0-5 to 0-1. Real nerviness to Oisin O'Kane's Tyrone kickouts, especially after he was punished by the referee for dawdling over for too long over one earlier. He doesn't look particularly confident under the high ball either.
1:26pm: Really bright start for Cork and Colm O'Callaghan in particular. He kicks his second point, after bursting through the middle of the Tyrone defence. Tyrone 0-1 Cork 0-4.
1:25pm: It's Tyrone 0-1 Cork 0-3 now. Steven Sherlock got Cork's third point from a free while Ethan Jordan got the first for Tyrone. That third point was a gift for Cork after referee Martin McNally decided Tyrone goalkeeper Oisín O'Kane took too long over a kickout
1:23pm: Cork playing confidently thus far. Pressing up on Tyrone's wind-assisted kick-outs. Cork lead 0-2 to 0-0 after 7 minutes. Colm O'Callaghan got Cork's second point.
1:22pm: The first score of the game goes to Cork from the boot of Mark Cronin from a free. Tyrone 0-0 Cork 0-1
1:20pm: Four minutes gone and no score yet between Cork and Tyrone. Ethan Jordan just had a 45 drift wide right.
1:18pm: Some good early possession for Cork in dangerous positions but they can't convert it into scores.
1:17pm: The Division 2 games have thrown in now too. Busy afternoon ahead.
1:16pm: Tipperary now lead Waterford 1-4 to 0-4. Seán O'Connor got the goal for Tipp.
1:11pm: One change for Cork with Seán Meehan coming in for Seán Brady. Tyrone will play with a good breeze in the first half. Seán Brady's spot in the Cork panel has been taken by Brian Hayes of Nemo Rangers.
1:09pm: Here are John Fogarty's Division 4 promotion permutations for today.
– Defeat Leitrim and they can’t be touched.
– Claim the win in Longford and they will be promoted.
– Two points in Antrim and a combination of results elsewhere could see them ascend.
– Dismiss Wicklow and they will leapfrog them but they may need help elsewhere to go up.
– Like their opponents London, it’s a case of win and pray for the best.
– A big win over Waterford could put them in the frame. Again, it depends on other results.
– Beating Carlow would be a scalp and they have a remote chance of returning to Division 3.
– Nothing tangible on the line.
1:03pm: The games are underway in Division 4. Tipp lead Waterford by two points... make that three points.
12:52pm: A few changes for Tyrone. No.19 Ben Cullen starts in place of No.2 Aidan Clarke. No.20 Ben McDonnell starts in place of No.7 Michael Rafferty. No.26 Darragh Canavan starts in place of No.12 Ciarán Daly.
12:47pm: Ahead of today's game in Omagh, Eoghan Cormican spoke to Cork captain Ian Maguire about what's on the line for his side today.
“Over the last couple of years, the last game has been huge for Cork football for Sam Maguire reasons, Tailteann Cup reasons, and then from a player’s perspective of wanting to take momentum into the championship,” said Maguire.
“From an overall Cork football perspective, the opportunity of promotion is obviously brilliant. It's something that we set out at the start of the year that we wanted.
“This Sunday, from a fan's perspective, it's promotion. From the players' perspective, we just want to go up and get a win against Tyrone. It would be huge for us, obviously.
“We've put ourselves in a great position but the narrative is not how you start the League, it's how you finish. We've echoed that in other years and it is no different this year.”
12:45pm: Today, Cork have a chance to end a ten-year absence from football's top tier. John Fogarty told us about the perks of promotion for Cork.
12:40pm: Here are the Cork and Tyrone teams for today's game which were named on Friday.
P Doyle (Knocknagree), M Shanley (Clonakilty), D O'Mahony (Knocknagree), S Brady (Ballygarvan), B O'Driscoll (Carrigaline), T Walsh (Kanturk), L Fahy (Ballincollig), C O'Callaghan (Éire Óg), I Maguire (St Finbarr's, c), P Walsh (Kanturk), M Cronin (Nemo Rangers), S McDonnell (Mallow), C Óg Jones (Uibh Laoire), D Sheedy (Bantry Blues), S Sherlock (St Finbarr's)
M Aodh Martin (Nemo Rangers), S Meehan (Kiskeam), K O'Donovan (Nemo Rangers), R Maguire (Castlehaven), D Cashman (Millstreet), S Walsh (Mitchelstown), C Cahalane (Castlehaven), D Buckley (Newcestown), R Deane (Bantry Blues), C Corbett (Clyda Rovers), B Hurley (Castlehaven)
O O'Kane, A Clarke, P Teague, C Quinn, J Clarke, N Devlin, M Rafferty, B Kennedy, C Kilpatrick, S O'Donnell, R Cassidy, C Daly, D McCurry, M Donnelly, E Jordan
J Gibney, F Burns, M McKernan, B Cullen, B McDonnell, K McGeary, M Og McGleenan, E McElholm, L McGarrity, C Bogue, D Canavan
12:35pm: This is what each team in Division 2 needs to do today.
- A point in Omagh will see them back in the elite eight for the first time in 10 years.
– Like Cork, a draw against relegated Offaly will be good enough to go up.
– Need one of the above to stumble. They have the head-to-head advantage on Derry but not against Cork and Meath.
– Have to beat Cavan and hope their superior score difference is a factor on 10 points or it's just them and Cork on 10 points.
– A share of the spoils against Cork confirms their Division 2 status.
– A win in Derry solves everything for them but if they finish tied with Kildare alone they will pip them on the head-to-head.
– Must beat Louth in Newbridge and hope Derry overcome Cavan. Sam Maguire Cup entry is confirmed regardless.
You can read the rest of John Fogarty's permutations for the four divisions here.
12:32pm: The Division 2 games today are Derry v Cavan, Kildare v Louth, Offaly v Meath, Tyrone v Cork. The live game on TG4 will be Kildare v Louth with the other games shown live on the TG4 YouTube channel.
12:30pm: The final round of the National Football League is upon us with promotion up for decision across the four divisions, and relegation across the top three. All games in Division 4 throw in at 1pm, while it's 2pm for Division 3, 1:15pm for Division 2, and 3:30pm for Division 1.
