An action-packed weekend of National Football League finals, across all four divisions, is in prospect with Kerry, Armagh, Cork and Galway all battling it out at Croke Park, while Cavan, Wexford, Antrim and Fermanagh will target silverware in Drogheda and Clones.

The Divisions 1 and 2 finals will form an exciting double-header at Croke Park this Saturday, with the Divisions 3 and 4 deciders to be contested on Sunday, April 13, in Drogheda and Clones respectively.

There’s a familiar feel to the Division 1 final, with All-Ireland champions Kerry and Armsgh set to go head to head for a second successive year in the top flight decider.

And this will be a third Lidl National League final between the counties in four years, as they also contested the 2022 Division 2 decider.

In the Division 2 final, which will precede the Division 1 showpiece, Cork and Galway will battle it out for silverware after claiming promotion.

Armagh, Kerry, Cork and Galway were also the 2024 TG4 All-Ireland Senior Championship semi-finalists, proof positive that all four teams have carried last year’s encouraging form into the 2025 season.

So, will Kerry gain revenge on Armagh after losing last year’s Lidl NFL Division 1 final and move ahead of Cork in the all-time roll of honour with a 13th title?

Or will Armagh get the better of the Kingdom again at Croke Park to claim their second crown?

All will be revealed this Saturday with the Division 2 decider Cork v Galway live on TG4 at 3.00pm and the Kerry v Armagh head-to-head lived at 5.00pm.
