Longford and Offaly continue to occupy the promotion places in Division 4 following today's results.

Francis McGee registered 0-5 as Longford came away from Aughrim with a 1-16 to 1-10 victory over Wicklow. It was their fourth straight win and sets them up nicely for a top-of-the-table clash with Offaly at Glennon Brothers Pearse Park in a fortnight's time.

The Faithful County sit joint-top on nine points after coming from three points down to edge out Carlow by 0-14 to 1-10 at O'Connor Park. Carlow's defeat means they have been leapfrogged by Antrim who have moved into third place on seven points following a 0-15 to 0-13 win over Waterford in Walsh Park.

Waterford and Leitrim both have two points, with only London - who have none - below them.
