Thanks for joining us this afternoon as it was a case of job done for both Armagh and Monaghan.

The Orchard County have earned themselves a week off, their victory over Galway sending them straight through to the last eight as group winners.

Vinny Corey's side will be in action next week, though, a place in the preliminary quarter-finals their reward for beating Meath. That game will be played away from home after a third-placed finish but, with a first win since January, the Farney will be delighted to extend their summer by at least another week.

There'll be more reaction across BBC Sport NI and, of course, we'll have news of the all-important draw tomorrow too.

Monaghan finished third in Group 4 thanks to a 1-17 to 1-14 win over Meath in Breffni Park.

Vinny Corey's side started well but were pegged back by Jack McCarron's first-half goal for Meath.

The Farney took control in the second half, and would lead by as many as nine points, raising hopes that they could pip Louth to second place in the group on points difference.

In the end, though, they had to quell a Meath fightback just to be sure of their first victory since Round One of the Allianz League all the way back in January.

"It's tough on confidence but everybody stuck at it.," Monaghan manager Vinny Corey told GAAGo of ending his side winless run.

"You don't always get it your own way in senior inter-county football.

"We've turned the tide somewhat in the last two weeks but the big test is next week. It all comes down to the next two weeks.

"This day two weeks there's only four sides left in the competition."

Armagh have topped Group 1 and are into the All-Ireland quarter-finals following a remarkable comeback to secure a 1-12 to 0-15 draw against Galway at Markievicz Park.

Armagh looked to be dead and buried when they trailed by five points with 15 minutes to go, but everything changed on 59 minutes when Conor Turbitt overturned a kick-out, fed the ball to Tiernan Kelly and he hit the back of the net.

"We never make things easy on ourselves," man of the match Killian Lavelle says on GAAGo.

"We're happy we got the win.

"The main objective was to get out of the group and we've done that. That's the first win we've had in a while."
