Monaghan vs Roscommon: Live stream and TV information, throw-in time, betting odds and all you need to know ahead of today's Allianz Football League Division Two Final
Monaghan and Roscommon both ensured that their stint in Division Two was a brief one after both secured promotion to Division One for next season. The bragging rights of who goes up as champions is still up for grabs along with a national title.
Monaghan finished top of the table with only two defeats in seven outings, one of which came in Dr Hyde Park with Davy Burke's men claiming a 0-25 to 2-14 win.
That gave the Rossies three wins from three, but defeats to Meath and Cavan meant they were far from certain to gain promotion. A draw against a Westmeath team already bound for Division Three could have cost them, but defeats for Cavan and Meath saw them clinch second place.

Donegal and Monaghan pick up All-Ireland group stage wins
Ulster champions Donegal got back to winning ways after defeat by Tyrone last time out [Getty Images] Ulster champions Donegal picked up their first win of the All-Ireland round-robin series as they beat Cavan 3-26 to 1-13 at Breffni Park. After a shock defeat by Tyrone last time out, Jim McGuinness' side bounced back in style, scoring an unanswered 1-5 either side of the break which proved crucial. Advertisement A late Finbarr Roarty fisted goal after the hooter gave Donegal a comfortable seven-point half-time lead after a physical first half in which there seemed little to separate the sides. But McGuinness' side pulled away in the second period as Cavan began to tire in the last 20 minutes. Conor O'Donnell fired home a second goal, with Caolan McColgan adding a third with the final play of the game. Donegal will now look to book their place in the next round with a win against Mayo in their last Group One game. Monaghan made it back-to-back wins in Group Three with two-pointers key to their 1-25 to 1-16 victory against Clare at Clones. Advertisement It was Clare who led 0-14 to 0-7 at half-time, using the wind to their advantage to kick a flurry of two-pointers of their own. Monaghan roared back in the second half and Conor McCarthy's calm finish soon after the restart gave them the lead and they kicked on from there to win by nine points. Monaghan now face Down in their final game with the winner set to top the group and progress straight to the quarter-finals.

Head coach Benkenstein leaves struggling Lancashire
Lancashire have parted company with men's head coach Dale Benkenstein after a winless first two months of the County Championship season. The South African, 50, leaves with Lancashire seventh in Division Two, having been relegated from the top flight last season. They are the only club in either division not to have won a Championship game this summer. "Following a difficult start to the season, we feel now is the right time to make a change, as we look to improve our on-field performances," Lancashire's director of cricket performance Mark Chilton said in a club statement. Former Red Rose batter Steven Croft has been named as interim men's head coach, assisted by Will Porterfield, Craig White and Karl Krikken. Croft's first game will be Lancashire's T20 Blast opener at home to Worcestershire Rapids at Emirates Old Trafford on Thursday (18:30 BST). Having finished ninth in Division One last season, nine-time champions Lancashire are playing second-tier cricket for the first time since 2019. But they have had a miserable start which continued on Sunday as they were beaten by an innings and three runs inside three days by Division Two leaders Leicestershire. Defeat left the Red Rose 73 points behind the East Midlands county at the halfway point of the Championship. The loss marked a fifth time that Lancashire have lost by an innings during Benkenstein's near 18-month tenure. And with expectations that the club should be challenging for immediate promotion, as has happened on each occasion they have previously been relegated, the club announced Benkenstein's departure on Wednesday by "mutual consent". "After relegation at the end of last season, results have not improved so far this year and after much consideration, both Dale and I feel the team will benefit from a change in direction," Chilton added.

Arthur 'hellbent' on success with Derbyshire
Mickey Arthur says he is "hellbent" on delivering success at Derbyshire, but admits the County Championship job has proven harder than he first thought. The 57-year-old South African has been head of cricket since 2022 and overseen more wins in the first seven rounds of the Championship this season as he did across the past two campaigns. The East Midlands club finished bottom of Division Two with a solitary victory last term, while they failed to register a win with the red ball in 2023 after managing three for a mid-table finish in his first season at the County Ground. On Monday, all-rounder Luis Reece helped them secure their second win of the season with a comprehensive victory over Kent that kept them second in the table. They are still unbeaten, having drawn the other five games. For former Australia, South Africa and Pakistan coach Arthur, the strong start to the season came after a winter reflecting on the club's struggles of recent years. "I want to win. I'm not failing and I don't fail," Arthur told BBC East Midlands Today. "I have beat myself up a bit because you do constantly re-evaluate your style and where you are as a coach." Arthur signs one-year extension at Derbyshire Arthur becomes director of cricket at Superchargers Arthur says what Derbyshire have demanded of him as a coach has been "fantastic" after years spent in charge of national sides. Before moving to the County Ground, the last time he worked at club level outside of a T20 franchise was at Western Australia in 2011. "I've had to self-reflect and change my style a little bit because coaching internationally and coaching domestically has been a little bit different, which I didn't think it would be," he said. "I've had to change a lot of the ways I handle the squad and different situations. "In a nutshell it has taken a little bit longer, but it is a process of continually improving. And if you continue to self-improve - that's myself, the coaching staff and the players - you will ultimately achieve what you want to." Even while in charge of Derbyshire, Arthur has stayed in touch with the international game, juggling a short second stint with Pakistan in 2023. This season he is combining his role at Derbyshire with that of director of cricket at Hundred side Northern Superchargers. Arthur landed those other roles despite Derbyshire's struggles of recent years, which last season prompted the club's chief executive Ryan Duckett to come out and back the head coach. "I'm here until the club say to me, 'not any more'. That is how hellbent I am on achieving success," Arthur replied, when asked about what his plans for his future at Derbyshire are. "I've had the fortune and opportunity to coach a lot of teams, and a lot of good teams and this is one that I'm very passionate about and one that I'm absolutely adoring because it's like taking the underdog to the top."
