National Football League Division One: Monaghan 3-16 Donegal 3-20 

Donegal will face Kerry in the NFL Division One Final after they edged a high-scoring clash with Monaghan in sunny Clones. Shea Malone, Jason McGee and Michael Langan hit 2-13 between them as Jim McGuinness’s side clinched their fifth win of the league, which sets them up for a rematch of last year’s All-Ireland SFC decider. It was closer than many may have expected as an already-relegated Monaghan went close to their first win of the campaign, but they were undone by gifting Malone his second goal in the 56th minute.
