    Welcome to Sunday's Allianz League live blog - again we have 12 games spread across the four divisions this Sunday. Six of the eight All-Ireland quarter finalists in action from Armagh in division three to the meeting of two of them in division one, where Monaghan and Cork clash.
  • 13:29

    Last weekend Waterford were the only pre-season provincial tournament winner to follow up with a round one victory. While Mayo also defeated All-Ireland champions Kerry, before last night Dublin duly reversed last summer's other 2014 championship semi final result with an entertaining win over Donegal - So will the unpredictability continue?

  • 13:52

    Big game today is Mayo and Tyrone - there's been some real classics between these two in recent years.  

    Mayo still without Cillian O'Connor, yet their attack had no problems against Kerry last weekend.

  • 13:53
    All this talk of Mayo's forward problems - but what about their defence? A very different back seven named today
  • 13:54
    Let's give the Mayo forwards a break today and focus on that defence
    Let's give the Mayo forwards a break today and focus on that defence
  • 13:54
  • 13:56
    Jamie Clarke - the hero last weekend for Armagh - doesn't start
  • 13:56
    Let's have a quick look at the league tables:

  • 13:57

  • 13:57
  • 13:58
    Aidan O'Shea in for brother Seamus in the Mayo team today - what an impact he made last weekend when introduced as the Kerry partnership of Tommy Walsh and David Moran were in total control  
  • 14:00
    Again let's look at the Mayo defence. Apparently ìf Mayo had any forward`they'd have won numerous All-Irelands - but it was down the other end where they struggled last year and there's a new looking defence in place today.  
  • 14:00
  • 14:01
  • 14:02
    Kerry and Derry has thrown in as have most of the games
  • 14:03
    Darren McCurry has opened the scoring in Castlebar Mayo 0-0 Tyrone 0-1
  • 14:03
  • 14:04
    Paul Geaney - quiet last weekend against Mayo - scored the opener for Kerry they lead 0-2 to 0-0 against Derry
  • 14:05
    Goal chance there by Michael Conroy saved off the line - he really should have scored. He got 0-4 when introduced early last week  
  • 14:05
    Tipperary lead Limerick 0-2 to 0-0  
  • 14:06

    As Louth look to struggle once more against Clare today - they've yet to win this year and it's already Clare 0-2 Louth 0-0.  



    Shane Hickey the latest scorer there

  • 14:07
    Jason Doherty has opened the scoring for Mayo - it's been a scrappy opening in Castlebar though. Mayo 0-1 Tyrone 0-2
  • 14:09
    Fintan Kelly has opened the scoring for Monaghan against a Cork team Jim Gavin branded the most negative team to have ever emerged from the county  
  • 14:09
  • 14:11
    Matty Donnelly with a long range beauty to open up a two point lead - and it should have been three only for a casual finish by Darren McCurry - Mayo 0-1 Tyrone 0-3
  • 14:13
    It's all action in Mullingar - Galway 1-3 to Westmeath's 0-3
  • 14:13
  • 14:13
    Both teams had wins last weekend - and both have a number of young talented players  
  • 14:14
    Armagh seem to be stuggling without Jamie Clarke they trail Wexford by 0-3 to 0-0
  • 14:16
    Tyrone almost caught out there - goalkeeper Niall Morgan's kick is blocked in the middle of the field but Mayo can only manage a point - typical goalkeeper though, he's giving out to his defenders. Mayo 0-2 Tyrone 0-4
  • 14:17
    GOAL by Westmeath's Ger Egan has levelled it up in Mullingar 1-3 a-piece with Galway  
  • 14:18
    Louth were 0-4 to 0-1 down but Conor Grimes has added their third on the bounce. It's all level
  • 14:18
  • 14:19
    Stefan Campbell has opened Armagh's account. As Tyrone's Niall MOrgan has made ammends for his earlier mistake with a long-range free - Mayo 0-3 Tyrone 0-5
  • 14:20
    Mark Lynch has equalised for Derry against Kerry 0-5 to 0-5 - he had an excellent first half against Donegal last week at midfield but couldn't keep it up in the second.
  • 14:21
    A Colm O'Neill free has put Cork into the lead after thirteen minutes against Monaghan 0-4 to 90-3
  • 14:22
    Bryan Sheehan - starting at centre forward for Kerry today - has put his side back in front 0-6 to 0-5
  • 14:22
  • 14:23
    Waterford will struggle without Shane Ahearne - one of the top midfielder's in the country  
  • 14:24
    GOAL for Louth they lead Clare 1-5 to 0-5. Podge Collins could feature at some point for the Banner today having suffered of late with a hamstring injury  
  • 14:26
    Kevin Keane harshly pulled there for a foul on Sean Cavanagh - he wasn't buying the dummy. It's a big test for him today after a solid performance against Kerry and off the back of the obvious problems the Mayo full back line had last year
  • 14:26
    Darren McCurry converted the free though and it's Mayo 0-3 Tyrone 0-6  
  • 14:27
    Armagh have drawn back to within a point of Wexford - a black card picked up for Wexford's Paddy Byrne  
  • 14:27
  • 14:29
    David Clarke in goal for Mayo takes advantage of evry last inch of his considerable frame to tap over that Tiernan McCann effort for a point. Tyrone lead by four points with 27 minutes gone
  • 14:30
    Clarke has had his injury problems in recent years, at one point facing possible inter county retirement - but he's back and it's great to see. Fellow Mayo goalkeeper Rob Hennelly who has been in fine form over the past two years will as happy for David as anyone today
  • 14:32
  • 14:32
    Monaghan GOAL has been quickly cancelled out by a Donnocha O'Connor Cork score and it's Monaghan 1-5 Cork 0-5  
  • 14:33
    Westmeath 2-4 to Galway 2-5 -  Kieran Martin with Westmeath's latest goal. The utility player was a key player for the AIT team defeated by UCD in the Sigerson Cup last week
  • 14:34
  • 14:35
    Mayo's Jason Doherty scuffs a bread and butter Cillian O'Connor free - no doubt the young UUJ forward is  abig loss for Mayo. They trail here 0-3 to 0-5 and it's been quite a while since their last score
  • 14:35
    Kerry have opened up a three point lead against Derry (Kerry 10 Derry 0-7)
  • 14:36
  • 14:37
    Donncha O'Connor has scored Cork's first point from play and they trail Monaghan 1-5 to 0-6
  • 14:37
    Half time in Castlebar Mayo 0-4 to Tyrone 0-8
  • 14:38
  • 14:39
  • 14:40
    Clare and Wexford seems a real tug-of-war after going in front Louth now trail after four in a row from the Banner - It's Louth 1-5 Clare 0-9
  • 14:40
  • 14:41
    Armagh have taken over in Wexford - they seem to be doing just enoughin this division - Ethan Rafferty goal leaves it Armagh 1-5 to Wexford 0-4
  • 14:41
    A Colm O'Neill free has reduced the Monaghan lead to a point before the interval
  • 14:43
    A Michael Curry goal for Waterford has left it; Offaly 0-5 Waterford 1-2 at the break. The two in form Division 4 teams
  • 14:44
    Westmeath's big 6ft 5inch Darragh Daly causing all sorts of problems for the Galway defence at full forward
  • 14:46

    Monaghan Cork the only game still going - Conor Boyle just made it 1-6 to 0-7 there...


    Before Donnocha O'Connor scored Cork's eight point

  • 14:54
    Mayo and Tyrone has been keenly contested but Tyrone converting their chances the better of the two teams

    Hopefully Limerick can manage a score int he second half against Tipperary - second halves are underway now
  • 14:55
    Jason Doherty has opened the scoring for Mayo - only three between the teams now
  • 14:59
    Eoin Bradley has opened the second half scoring for Derry against Kerry - he's balancing his soccer and GAA commitments this year  
  • 14:59
    Bernard 'Panda' Allen has levelled the game for Offaly against Waterford  
  • 15:01
    Aidan O'Shea has hit a wide and then opted to go for goal from 20 metres after a great run - but again no return - Mayo 0-5 Tyrone 0-9
  • 15:03
    Galway lead Westmeath after two early second half scores 2-8 to 2-06 - Patrick Sweeney above is a huge addition to the squad this year. A talented underage player he's given his commitment to the cause this year playing under his club man Kevin Walsh

  • 15:04
    Paul Geaney restores Kerry's three point lead 0-12 to 0-9
  • 15:04
  • 15:04
    Cillian O'Connor about to be introduced for Mayo
  • 15:06
    Ethan Rafferty points for Armagh they now lead 1-9 to 0-4. Perhaps their slow start is down to their heavy training schedule - they're starting to open up here
  • 15:07
    Limerick have scored! they now trail Tipperary 0-9 to 0-1. After last weekend's win over Sligo this sort of performance was not anticipated but they still have time to turn things around
  • 15:09
    Aidan O'Shea has been black carded for being a lot stronger than Tyrone goalkeeper Niall Morgan - he tried to block the Tyrone player's handpass and his momentum carried him through
  • 15:10
    Looks like a Mayo goal nonetheless - life-without-Aidan isn't too bad when you have Cillian O'Connor - Mayo trail now 1-5 to 0-10
  • 15:11
  • 15:12
    Kevin O'Grady GOAL for Wexford - they now trail 1-6 to 1-9 against Armagh
  • 15:13
    Cork GOAL - Colm O'Neill - leaving it  Monaghan 1-9 to Cork 1-8
  • 15:13
  • 15:14
    Longford lead Antrim 0-12 to 0-10 as Wicklow have drawn back to within a point of Leitrim
  • 15:15
    Another Sean Quigley free means Fermanagh lead Sligo 0-11 to 0-7 with 15 minutes remaining
  • 15:15
  • 15:15
  • 15:16
    Brian O'Driscoll has equalised for Cork 1-9 to 1-9 against Monaghan  
  • 15:18
    GOAL for Tyrone - Peter Harte finishes a move orchestrated by Sean Cavanagh - Aidan O'Shea's absence is noticeable here. Mayo 1-5 Tyrone 1-10
  • 15:18
    Excellent sideline free there by Cillian O'Connor reduces the Tyrone lead to 0-4
  • 15:19
    Tipperary 1-12 Limerick 1-1 - the latest from Semple Stadium
  • 15:19
    A Declan Byrne free has put Louth 1-12 to 0-13 ahead against Clare - can they hold on ?

    Ger Cafferkey has replaced Lee Keegan for Mayo
  • 15:21
    Monaghan have managed four points in a row since Cork equalised - 1-13 to 1-9
  • 15:23
    Fionn Fitzgerals has been black carded for Kerry but they lead 1-14 to 0-13 against Derry
  • 15:23
  • 15:24
    Charlie Vernon up form the back to stratch Armagh's lead to 1-13 to 1-6  
  • 15:26
    Alan Dillon looks set to be introduced for Mayo - what kind of a role will he play this year for the Connacht champions. He obviously hasn't been afforded a league break
  • 15:27
    Bryan Sheehan's seventh point for Kerry leaves them 1-16 to 0-13 ahead. Any time the Ulster team get close the Kingdom sem able to pull away
  • 15:27


  • 15:28
    Another Cork goal - it's 2-11 to Monaghan's 1-14 now TIE Game

    Conor McManus's free has given Monaghan the lead once more -

  • 15:30
  • 15:30
  • 15:31
    Longford have fended off a late Antrim revival to win 0-14 to 0-13 - they're first league win of 2015  
  • 15:32
    Whilst it's all over in Catlebar - Tyrone have beaten Mayo - one win each for these two now in division one  
  • 15:32
  • 15:33
    Pat Hughes has just pointed for Sligo - with what looks like being the winner for them against Fermanagh - the former St Pat's student was named at midfield today having featured in the half forward line last summer. He is a very talented fielder of the ball and clearly well able to take a score
  • 15:34
  • 15:34
    No - Femranagh have won that one
  • 15:35
  • 15:36
    Darren McCurry named man of the match in Tyrone/Mayo game

  • 15:37
    Galway have edged Westmeath - 2-12 to 2-13 - that's two in a row for them and the Leinster teams continue to struggle in 2015

    Cork have taken the lead in the 70th minute
  • 15:41
  • 15:41

    Cork have never given up in this one - trailing for large spells - reliant mainly on frees - but nonetheless they lead and it's very nearly over  
  • 15:44
  • 15:44
    And after a late missed free by Monaghan - it's Monaghan 1-16 Cork 2-14. Crisis, what crisis, two wins from two for Cork

    It was an interesting evening of Allianz League action - Mayo and Tyrone now have a win each after two rounds, Kerry have opened their account for 2015, Galway and Westmeath played out a thriller, 14-man Waterford were edged by Offaly and thankfully Limerick managed to score in the second half. All that and more.  

    Thanks for reading,  

    Same place next week.
