Cork’s reward for their victory over Tyrone in Omagh to secure promotion is a Division 2 final with Meath on Sunday at 1.45pm in Croke Park.<\/p>\n
The Rebels will return to the top flight next year for the first time since 2016 but there’s still silverware up for grabs when they collide with their traditional rivals on Jones Road. They beat the Royals after a thriller at P\u00e1irc U\u00ed Rinn and if they repeat the feat will land the Division 2 for the first time since 2009, when they got the better of Monaghan.<\/p>\n
Cork were a consistent force in the league in that era, lifting the Division 1 prize three times in a row from 2010 to 2012, with an All-Ireland triumph and a Munster crown secured as well.<\/p>\n
\n Cork and Meath will replace Dublin and Monaghan in Division 1, after Galway rallied to beat the Dubs in a fiery game at Salthill.\u00a0\n <\/p>\n
Otherwise, Armagh would have dropped down. Mayo beat Roscommon but Kerry’s draw away to Armagh put them through to the final next Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n
It’ll be Down against Wexford, who secured promotion with a dramatic win over Westmeath thanks to Sean Ryan’s late goal, in the Division 3 final and Carlow v Longford in Division 4, with those matches on Saturday evening.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
