Allianz FL Division 1
Dublin are clear at the top of Division 1 of the Allianz Football League as they are the only county to have won their opening two games in this year’s competition, the other winners from last week having lost.
Cork, of course, were seen off by the Dubs at Croke Park on Saturday night, while Monaghan, who beat Galway in round 1, went down against Ulster rivals Armagh at the Athletic Grounds. While the visitors were on top for a lot of this game, a late goal from the Orchard County’s Micheál O’Rourke put the home side into a one-point lead and though Conor McManus levelled for the Farney men, Andy Mallon secured the win for the home side in injury time.
Down, who drew with Mayo last week, are in second place on their own after they overcame Galway at Páirc Esler in Newry. In truth, James McCartan’s side should have had this wrapped up long before Gary O’Donnell’s goal gave Galway brief hope with 10 minutes left, cutting the gap to two point, 1-10 to 1-8. Worryingly for the Tribesmen, though, they are now the only team yet to register a point and things won’t be getting any easier for them as they have a tough game with neighbours Mayo coming up next week.
Mayo will be left feeling that they should be higher in the table than the seventh spot that they occupy right now, though, as the draw with Down was followed up with a home defeat against Kerry at Castlebar, the Kingdom coming away with the victory.
