Four scores in quick succession have turned a two-point deficit into a two-point lead for Donegal.

However it's not all good news as Paddy McBrearty hobbles off. Jeaic Mac Ceallbhuí is the man to replace him.

Both sides have converted from frees, with Armagh's Rory Grugan and Cork's Brian Hurley finding the target.

Then, a point from Chris Óg Jones has reduced Armagh's lead down to two points, with 10 minutes to go until half-time.

Connaire Mackin has been replaced by Jarly Og Burns for Armagh.

Kildare still two up after 21 minutes in Carlow.

Patience proving the key for the Ernemen.

They have been the better team through 25 minutes and Garvan Jones has kicked his third score of the day after some steady build-up play.

Fermanagh retake the lead through captain Declan McCusker.

A goal chance opens up for Shane McGullion and the visitors but he snatches at his attempt.

Cavan's James Smith has received a yellow card for a heavy challenge on Conor McGee just after Paddy Lynch brings the teams level.

As we've already mentioned, it won't matter a jot for Fermanagh if they win tonight if Louth beat Kildare tonight and the Wee County have hit an early goal as they lead 1-1 to 0-2 in Carlow.

Armagh are level as points from Oisin Conaty and Conor Turbitt cancel out an earlier Sean Powter score.

Shane O'Donnell finally gets Donegal on the board 13 minutes in but have goalkeeper Shaun Patton to thank for a point-blank save from James Conlon moments later.

Ten minutes in and that Hickey goal after 20 seconds remains the only score so far.

Tricky conditions underfoot with those heavy showers throughout the day leaving the pitch slippery.

There are plenty of early scores, as Rory Grugan levelled from a free before Cork's Colm O'Callaghan added their second and third of the day.

Then, Armagh's top scorer in the league Conor Turbitt notched his opening score.

The action is underway at Páirc Uí Chaoimh and it's the hosts who are first on the board via Paul Walsh

The ball is thrown in...

Game underway in Ballybofey as a heavy shower passes through.

One added last minute change for Donegal sees Jamie Brennan start in place of Odhran Doherty.

There are indeed changes to both line-ups, as expected - although maybe not quite as many changes as expected.

Armagh make three: Jason Duffy is in for Aidan Forker, Rian O'Neill is in for Stefan Campbell, and Tiernan Kelly is in for Andrew Murnin.

Cork make two changes, with Micheál Aodh Martin starting in nets in place of Christopher Kelly, whilst Maurice Shanley starts at corner back instead of Kevin Flahive.

Cavan's hopes of promotion were ended following last weekend's convincing defeat to Armagh while Fermanagh's chances of survival in the second tier took a huge dent last time out.

They were on the receiving end of a 24-point hammering at the hands of Louth and even a win for the Ernemen this evening might not be enough to avoid the drop.

Kieran Donnelly has made two late changes to his team with Fionan O'Brien and Cian McManus coming in. Meanwhile, Cavan coach Raymond Galligan has made four alterations for the home team.

Killian Brady, Ryan Donohoe, Cian Madden and Tiarnan Madden are those who make way for Conor Rehill, Oisin Brady, Oisin Kiernan and Caoimhin O'Reilly.

Cavan: G O'Rourke; C Reilly, B O'Connell, L Fortune; C Brady, C Rehill, N Carolan; J Smith K Clarke; D McVeety, O Brady, O Kiernan; R O'Neill, P Lynch, C O'Reilly.

Fermanagh: R Bogue; L Cullen, C Cullen, O Smyth; D McCusker, S McGullion, C McManus; F O'Brien, J McDade; C McGee, C McShea, R McCaffery; U Kelm, G Jones, S Cassidy.

With Armagh already promoted and Cork safe in mid-table, there is little to play for at Páirc Uí Chaoimh this evening.

However, Armagh will want to keep their unbeaten run alive, heading into next Sunday's league final against Donegal, whilst Cork - who have won three games in a row - will want to keep momentum building, with the Championship right around the corner.

Interestingly, Kieran McGeeney has named the same team which started in last week's victory over Cavan. However, with big names on the bench such as Oisin O'Neill, Rian O'Neill and Jarly Og Burns, who will be hopeful of making their first starts in the league this year, late changes to the line-up are expected, so keep an eye on our page.

Cork are also unchanged from the team who started in their comeback win over Meath last week.

Armagh: B Hughes; P Burns, A McKay, P McGrane; G McCabe, A Forker, J McElroy; Connaire Mackin, B Crealey, S Campbell, R Grugan, B McCambridge; C Turbitt, A Murnin, O Conaty.

Cork: C Kelly; K Flahive, D O'Mahony, T Walsh; L Fahy, S Meehan, M Taylor; I Maguire, C O'Callaghan; P Walsh, S Powter, B O'Driscoll; C Jones, C Corbett, B Hurley.

Both Donegal and Meath have little to play for in terms of where they stand in Division Two at MacCumhaill Park this evening, so it is no surprise that both managers have made changes.

Donegal already know they will be back in 2025 and have the Division Two final against Armagh to come next week. Even so, Jim McGuinness has named a strong team with 12 of the team that beat Kildare last week set to start.

Stephen McMenamin and Jeaic McKelvey were named to start in place of Aaron Doherty and Ciaran Moore, but in one of two late changes, Ciaran Moore starts in place of Mac Ceallabhuí, while Aaron Doherty comes in for Michael Langan.

Meath are safe from the drop despite last week's defeat against Cork and manager Colm O'Rourke is also using this game as a chance to look at his squad. Billy Hogan will make his league debut in goal, while Adam McDonnell, Diarmuid Moriarty, Harry O’Higgins, Keith Curtis, Ronan Jones and Ross Ryan are all named to start, while a late change sees James Conlon in for Matthew Costello.

Donegal: S Patton; M Curran, S McMenamin, C Moore; R McHugh, C McGonagle, P Mogan; H McFadden, A Doherty; S O'Donnell, C Thompson, O Doherty; P McBrearty, O Gallen, D Ó Baoill.

Subs: G Mulreany, R Gallagher, R Frain, D Mac Ghiolla Bhríde, C McColgan, J Mac Ceallabhuí L McGlynn, N O'Donnell, J Ross Molloy, P Doherty, J Brennan

Meath: B Hogan; H O’Higgins, A O’Neill, B O’Halloran; A McDonnell, D Keogan, R Ryan; R Jones, C McBride; D Moriarty, R Kinsella, C Hickey; S Walsh, J Conlon, K Curtis.

Subs: S Brennan, D Dixon, J O’Connor, D McGowan, M Murphy, A Lynch, C Caulfield, E Frayne, S Rafferty, B McKeon
