Kildare and Meath will renew their rivalry in the Division 2B final.
Already assured of a final place before today, the Lilywhites edged out Donegal by 1-19 to 3-11 in Letterkenny to keep their 100 per cent record intact.
Meath's 2-21 to 0-16 victory over Down saw them finish ahead of the Ardsmen in second place on scoring difference. The final will be a repeat of the first round clash which Kildare won impressively in Trim.
Armagh defeated Mayo by 0-23 to 0-10 at Elvery's MacHale Park. Mayo and bottom side Donegal were already resigned to the relegation playoff before today's action.
