Stephen McMenamin and Michael Langan in for Donegal. Odhran McFadden Ferry and Jeaic MacCeallabhui make way. Kieran Duffy and Ryan McAnespie in for Monaghan. Aaron Carey and Jack McCarron move to bench.

Some early match ups. Mogan on O'Hanlon, O'Toole on Murphy and Dylan Byrne on McBrearty. #Donegal #Monaghan

The wind Clones stronger than I gave it credit for. Monaghan steering over some lovely two pointers now. one point in it.

FT: Donegal 0-23 Monaghan 0-21 Donegal edge it but some new rules controversy in Clones. The hooter sounds as the ball is out of play. Monaghan kick the ball into play thinking they have another chance to work a two pointer but the game is deemed to be over D'gal better side

Great chatting to JP and Donnchadh Boyle

🚨 JP Mone and Donnchadh Boyle OUT NOW! 🏐 How impressive are Donegal? 🏐 Monaghan’s long lay off 🏐 Are Tyrone really favourites to beat Armagh? ➕ Loads more! 🎧 open.spotify.com/episode/5ZesN5…

Strong wind here in Portlaoise blowing towards the town end (?) goal. Reports of a late withdrawl from Meath team but waiting on confirmation. #GAA #Meath #Dublin

John Small back in for #Dublin along with his brother Paddy and Lorcan O'Dell. Greg McEneaney, Sean Bugler and Ross McGarry drop to subs. Jack Flynn misses out for #Meath. Adam O'Neill comes in while Ronan Jones wears 8 and starts on bench. James Conlon in for Shane Walsh.

Looks like Eoghan Frayne and Meath won the toss and is going to play with the wind. It's another day where the breeze will have a huge say.

Minute's silence for the Pope in Portlaoise.

HT: Meath 0-17 Dublin 0-5 Good half for Meath, who did very well on Dublin's kick out. They might be further ahead but for some wild shooting early on. Wind is huge and 12 points far from insurmountable for Dublin.

Long time coming for Meath. Thrilling game , loads of mistakes. Meath revive an old rivalry.

Some context on recent commentary.

Looks like Rian O’Neill has travelled with Armagh

Forget the row. That was a brilliant game of football. On the blow report here independent.ie/sport/gaelic-g…

End of the road for me and the Irish Independent and journalism after 20 years. Thanks to all the players and managers who ever answered a call or a question. Onto something new in comms soon but first a trip to Goodison.

Attended last week's GPA Pride brunch not as a sportswriter but as a gay man. And so I never intended to write about the day. But such was the courage displayed by the men present, I’d be letting myself down if I didn’t use my platform to follow their lead irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/arid…
