All-Ireland SFC permutations: Who needs what heading into final round?
The Central Competitions Control Committee will meet on Tuesday to decide the neutral venues for the final round of the All-Ireland SFC series.
Here are some of the permutations for the groups going into that third round on June 14 and 15:
Group 1.
With all four teams on two points, everything is on the line in the final round. Mayo know a defeat to Donegal will put them in jeopardy of going out of the championship. They would then require Cavan to beat Tyrone and therefore finish ahead of Malachy O'Rourke's side on the head-to-head differential.
Group 2.
Kerry and Meath have qualified for the knock-out stages and The Kingdom know a draw against The Royals the weekend after next will be good enough for them to top the table. Cork need to beat Roscommon to leapfrog Davy Burke's men and lift themselves from the foot of the table.
Group 3.
The winners of Down and Monaghan will earn a last-eight spot with the losers guaranteed the consolation of a last 12 place. A draw will do Down as they are currently in No1 position based on score difference. A point for Louth against Clare will see the Leinster runners-up through to the preliminary quarter-finals.
Group 4.
Armagh have topped the group of death yet again and can afford to take the game against Galway easy, knowing their top spot is secured. Galway will be hoping they take a casual approach to it. Derry need to beat Dublin to qualify ahead of them.

Ex-Cork GAA star scores winner at Páirc Uí Chaoimh - but Ireland face play-off
An opening that was written in the stars failed to deliver a fairytale ending. Ireland got the early goal they craved at Páirc Uí Chaoimh, fittingly delivered by former Cork Gaelic footballer Saoirse Noonan. Yet despite a dominant Nations League display that saw them camped inside the Slovenian final third for much of the game, that was the end of the scoring. Carla Ward's side needed a four-goal win to leapfrog Slovenia and earn automatic promotion back to League A, thanks to the 4-0 hammering served up in the reverse fixture earlier in the campaign. Chance after chance fell, but a combination of poor finishing, brave defending and solid goalkeeping frustrated the Girls in Green, who now face a play-off against a third-placed League A side in their bid to return to the top-flight of European competition. The celebrations on the visiting bench at the final whistle told its own tale. Ireland reverted to the three-at-the-back that served them well under Vera Pauw and Eileen Gleeson, after five games with a back-four under Ward. And there was a first start under the new manager for Caitlin Hayes, the previously ever-present defender, who had managed just 50 minutes over three substitute appearances. Straight away the Girls in Green looked a lot more resilient at the back, not that they were called to do much defending in the opening half. It was largely one-way traffic, with Ireland causing plenty of problems on the left, where Katie McCabe and Abbie Larkin linked up to great effect. On the other flank, Emily Murphy gave her finest display yet in a green jersey and was unlucky not to get her name on the scoresheet. That honour fell to Cork's own Noonan on 19 minutes, thanks to contributions on either wing from McCabe and Murphy, and a delightful cross by Jessie Stapleton. McCabe's cross was headed clear, but Murphy was alert enough to retrieve the ball near the right-hand sideline and lay it back to Stapleton. Her first-time cross was headed high and central by Noonan, over the despairing dive of goalkeeper Zala Mersnik and into the net. Prior to that, Irish intentions were clearly stated. With less than two minutes on the clock, McCabe's corner was met at the back post by Noonan, and her thumping header was cleared off the line by Zara Kramzar. Three minutes later and a short corner on the right gave McCabe another opportunity to cross. This time the ball was headed over by a defender as Anna Patten was ready to pounce. Ireland continued to attack and Denise O'Sullivan slipped the ball inside to Megan Connolly, but her shot was blocked by Sara Agrez, while Larkin drew a save from Mersnik. The chances continued to fall Ireland's way after Noonan's goal. Kyra Carusa, with her back to goal, attempted to steer the ball on target, but her effort bobbled wide of the right-hand post. A Murphy header from another left-wing delivery was aimed straight at the goalkeeper, and just past the half-hour mark, Connolly's shot from 20 yards was blocked by Agrez. Patten couldn't direct her header on target as she stepped across her marker to connect with a McCabe cross. A super piece of skill and link-up play between Noonan and Larkin almost led to an opening. But a reminder of the need to concentrate at both ends of the pitch was delivered moments before half-time when Lara Prasnikar raced into the area and forced Courtney Brosnan to make a smart save. Early Irish pressure in the second-half led to a couple of set-pieces, but nothing to cause Mersnik too much trouble. The same could be said about a Connolly effort from 20 yards that fizzed over the bar in the 59th minute. The excellent Murphy was denied by a diving block as Irish players, including McCabe and Larkin, queued up to find room to shoot, while on the sideline Ward turned to her bench to freshen up her attack. On came Amber Barrett for goalscorer Noonan, and long-throw expert Megan Campbell, whose first effort moments after her arrival was headed just wide by Patton. Murphy fired just over from a tight angle as she raced onto Carusa's lay-off, with Carusa screaming for the ball to be returned to her in the centre. Hayes should have scored in the 73rd minute when she met Connolly's in-swinging free-kick from the left, but her header sailed wide of the far post. Murphy then drew a save from Mersnik when she cut in from the left and let fly from 20 yards, while the keeper got her hands to another Murphy effort in the 86th minute - a frustrating end to a frustrating evening.

Ireland win in Páirc Uí Chaoimh but it is mission accomplished for Slovenia
Nations League: Republic of Ireland 1 (Noonan 19) Slovenia 0 The Republic of Ireland won the final match in Nations League B2 but it was mission accomplished for Slovenia. The visitors top the group with a superior goal difference and go straight up to league A in 2026. Ireland move towards an October promotion playoff, against Denmark, Belgium, Iceland or Austria – to enhance their seeding and chances of qualifying for the 2027 World Cup in Brazil. It was written in the Rebel stars. Saoirse Noonan came in from the cold, and after years of patiently waiting her turn behind Kyra Carusa, the former Gaelic footballer delivered on familiar terrain. READ MORE In January 2020, Noonan wore Cork red in a rare national league tie for the women inside Páirc Uí Chaoimh. In international green, her powerful header had Ireland leading 1-0 at half-time. GOAL IRELAND IRL 1-0 SVN Saoirse Noonan heads home to hand Ireland the lead against Slovenia. 📱Updates: 📺 📻 — RTÉ Sport (@RTEsport) Slovenia captain Dominika Conc won the coin toss and elected to play with a swirling wind behind her team. They also brought a physicality to the game, targeting Katie McCabe in particular, as this approach yielded a 4-0 victory at home last February. Neither tactic was overly effective. Slovenia came to Cork to avoid a 4-0 loss. Nothing more. Ireland drove into the gale, matching the Slovenians ferocity in duels to keep Slovakian referee Miriama Bockova on her toes. The Carla Ward project is beginning to take shape. It took the urgency of needing four goals to deny Slovenia direct promotion. It also required several changes in personnel to finally make Ward's fluid, 4-3-3 formation effective. Abbie Larkin continued her impressive form, this time off the left wing, which gave McCabe space to pick a pass, while Emily Murphy was uncontainable down the right. The back four had some shaky moments but Jessie Stapleton reasserted her value with some vital challenges and early crosses. One such ball from the Sunderland right-back yielded the Noonan goal after 18 minutes. Slovenia could not do what the Westmeath Gaelic footballers achieved in The Páirc five years ago: keep Noonan scoreless. Her powerful header came after McCabe's ball cleared the box, and was picked up by Murphy near the sideline, with the winger laying off for Stapleton to curl a dream cross for the Celtic striker. It could have been a rout. Anna Patten missed two close-range headers while Noonan, Kyra Carusa, Denise O'Sullivan, Megan Connolly, Larkin and Murphy all should have done better in and around the penalty area. Stapleton and McCabe kept the aerial bombardment raining down on Zala Mersnik's goal. When Bockova remembered she had a yellow card in her pocket, Maja Sternad was booked for the least obvious foul on McCabe. Slovenia manager Sasa Kolman was also cautioned for dissent. The most glaring defensive lapse by Ireland came just before the break when Conc put Lara Prasnikar clean through, only for Courtney Brosnan to deny the Eintracht Frankfurt forward with a fantastic save. With patient possession football unable to break down a well organised low block, on the hour mark Ward unleashed the Megan Campbell Throw-Ins. Interestingly, the aerial threats of Stapleton and Noonan were sacrificed as Amber Barrett also arrived. In the 64th minute, Campbell used the full width of the hurling surface to fling one into the crowded box, where Caitlin Hayes nodded wide. Murphy's unorthodox style kept troubling the Slovenians left flank as a neat flick from Carusa saw her blaze over. The second goal needed to come soon. When Hayes glanced a Connolly free kick wide of Mersnik's far post, a Plan B from yesteryear looked like it was being revived. During Vera Pauw's time as Ireland manager, the search for a late goal to win or salvage a draw always saw Louise Quinn sent forward to tower over the opposition defence. Before kick-off Quinn was presented with a memento to mark 17 years in green by the FAI CEO David Courell. 75 minutes later she began her warm up to win cap number 122.

Photograph: Ryan Byrne/Inpho When Quinn and Marissa Sheva were introduced for the last 10 minutes, too much time had ticked away. And anyway, Quinn played out the final days as a professional footballer as a defender. In the final moments, Campbell's long throws got the 9,423 crowd excited but Slovenia survived. Ireland: Brosnan; Stapleton (Campbell 62), Patten, Hayes, McCabe; Murphy, Connolly, Larkin (Quinn 80); O'Sullivan, Carusa (Sheva 80); Noonan (Barrett 62). Slovenia: Mersnik; Conc, Golob, Agrez; Kolbl, Makovec, Korosec, Prasnikar, Erzen; Sternad (Kajzba 68), Kramzar (Zver 88). Referee: Miriama Bockova (Slovakia).

Ireland claim Nations League revenge on Slovenia with solid Páirc Uí Chaoimh display as play-off fate looms
Women's Nations League B Group B2: Ireland 1 Slovenia 0 Too little, too late. Even as Carla Ward's Ireland produced their most complete display of her reign, and despite a host of chances, they fell well short of the four-goal target required to gain automatic promotion to Nations League Group A.
