GAA Provincial Championship Action

The first Sunday of the 2026 provincial championships delivered high drama across Ireland.

Armagh survived a late comeback from their old rivals to seal a quarter-final berth in heart-stopping style.

In Leinster, a five-goal first-half blitz from Westmeath effectively ended their contest with Longford before the break.

Other results saw Wicklow dismantle Carlow and Tipperary overcome Waterford to set up a Munster semi-final against Cork.
