Aimee Mackin returns from injury to help Armagh ease their relegation fears with a victory over Kerry in LGFA National Football League Division One.

Aimee Mackin returned from injury to help Armagh seal a much needed 1-13 to 2-8 win over Kerry to ease their relegation fears from Division One of the LGFA National League. Mackin hit 0-4 in the two-point victory that sees the Orchard County move out of the drop zone in a tight meeting at Silverbridge. The home side led at 1-6 to 1-2 at the break thanks to a free from Mackin and dead-ball scores from Kelly Mallon.

Blaithin Mackin scored Armagh's goal after being set-up by Lauren McConville and while Kerry kept in touch thanks to superb Siofra O'Shea, who scored 2-2, Armagh powered through in the second half to seal the victory. At the other end of the table, Galway sealed their place in the league final with a six-point win over All-Ireland champions Dublin. The 3-13 to 1-13 defeat leaves Dublin going into next weekend's final round of fixtures, where they face league leaders Cork, with the chance of being relegated.

The Rebel County saw off Meath 4-8 to 2-12 to book their place in the league final thanks to two goals from Katie Quirke and a goal a piece from Aine Terry O'Sullivan and Aimme Corocan.
