There's a decent enough breeze here at Croke Park and it grew stronger during the second half of the curtain raiser, helping Meath land the Division Two title.

Donegal will play with the wind in the first half.

Off we go with the Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh Cup up for grabs.

Donegal are shooting into the Hill 16 end.

Donegal manager Jim McGuinness has made several changes from his side's victory over Monaghan last week.

Ryan McHugh comes into the defence with with Mark Curran dropping to the bench, while Peadar Mogan moves into the forwards with Paul O'Hare out.

Shane O'Donnell comes in for Sean Martin at wing-forward, while Michael Murphy is named at full-forward in place of Jamie Brennan.

In a late switch, Max Campbell replaces his Naomh Conaill club-mate Finnbarr Roarty but Campbell will likely move into the forwards, prompting a further reshuffle.

Kerry manager Jack O'Connor makes two late changes to the side named earlier in the week.

Brian Ó Beaglaoich was due to start at corner back in place of Paul Murphy who is not involved this week, but instead, Tadhg Morey comes in at corner back with Ó Beaglaoich on the bench.

At midfield, Liam Smith starts in place of Sean O'Brien.

In last year's All-Ireland final, Kerry and Donegal wore change kits due to the colour clash, but that is not deemed necessary today with both in their traditional colours.

The Division Three final wasn't the only game that required extra-time in Croke Park last night as it took the additional period for Carlow to get the better of Longford in the Division Four decider.

The 1-24 to 2-18 win was the first piece of football league or championship silverware won by the Barrowsiders since their Leinster Championship success in 1944.

The Royals secured the Division Two National Football League title with a 1-22 to 2-17 win over Cork in today's curtain raiser at Croke Park.

Robbie Brennan's side kicked four two-pointers across the game to Meath's one with second half substitute James Conlon laying the foundations with four points in a remarkable cameo.

Meath made Croke Park their 'home' for this year's campaign due to renovation works at Pairc Tailteann, so this is their fourth win at HQ and it's only March, they're keen to make sure last year's run to the All-Ireland semi-final wasn't a fluke.

Jack O'Connor has won the All-Ireland five times as manager of Kerry (2004, 2006, 2009, 2022 and 2025) and the one constant for all of those Sam Maguire successes, is that his side have won the National League earlier that year as a springboard for the big one down the line.

Jack was quick to play down any such omen when it was put to him last week, but then again, if it's not broken why fix it?

It's the first time in a decade that the league final is a repeat of the previous year's All-Ireland decider.

Last July - The Kingdom lifted the Sam Maguire for the 39th time on that occasion, leaving Donegal to lick their wounds over the winter months.

Donegal have only won one, Division One National Football League title, and that was all the way back in 2007, add their two All-Ireland wins (1992 and 2012) to that and it means only three national titles have returned to Tir Chonaill.

Kerry are the league holders after securing their 24th top tier league title last spring, add their 39 Sam Maguire successes to that and you get just the 63 titles that have went south to the Kingdom.

Eight months on from their meeting in the 2025 All-Ireland final, Kerry and Donegal return to Croke Park to decide the destination of this year's league title.

Kerry swept the boards last year, winning the treble of league, Munster and All-Ireland titles and Jack O'Connor's men will be keen on retaining that first piece of silverware as, during each of his three spells at Kingdom boss, a league title was the prelude to Sam Maguire glory.

Donegal were decidedly second best in last year's All-Ireland decider and while they did get the measure of Kerry earlier in the league, the stakes are higher today with the opportunity to lay down something of a marker for the summer.

Manager Jim McGuinness has reiterated his stance that building his squad is the priority for this year's league, but now they are 70 minutes from a national title, a heading into the championship with a trophy secured will do no harm at all.

We will have live text updates from today's game, so you won't miss a score.
