Louth will face Warwickshire in the 3A final after battling to a 1-13 apiece draw with Monaghan in Castleblayney.

The Wee County's second draw of the year saw them finish level with Tyrone in the final standings, with six points each, but they sneak through on the head-to-head rule. Niall Arthur supplied all but four points of the Louth tally today.

Table-toppers Warwickshire - who were already through - defeated Roscommon by 1-23 to 3-10 in the early throw-in at Dr Hyde Park, while the Red Hands won away to pointless Longford, 2-21 to 1-14.

Lancashire and Leitrim will contest the 3B decider, meanwhile. The Exiles had already completed a perfect campaign, with four wins from four, before today's Round Five fixtures in the section produced victories for Leitrim and Sligo.

Leitrim were far too strong for Cavan at Carrick-on-Shannon (6-21 to 3-7), while the Yeats County recorded a 3-13 to 0-15 success on the road against Fermanagh.
