Roscommon made it four wins from four in Division 3A when beating Tyrone by 1-26 to 1-11 in a top-of-the-table clash at Dr Hyde Park.
The Rossies are guaranteed a place in the final now. Armagh moved above the Red Hands on the table when recording their third victory, outscoring neighbours Louth by 2-17 to 2-6 at Darver. The meeting of Armagh and Tyrone in Omagh next Sunday will determine who faces Roscommon in the decider.
Lancashire remain pointless at the foot of the table, meanwhile, after losing to Monaghan by 3-17 to 0-16 in Inniskeen.
In Division 3B, Longford - who will take on joint table toppers Sligo in the final (and also in a dead-rubber fifth-round encounter next weekend) - maintained their 100% record with a 3-10 to 0-13 win over Cavan in the curtain-raiser at Breffni Park and Fermanagh took the spoils at Carrick-on-Shannon, beating Leitrim by 2-15 to 1-12 in a battle to avoid the dreaded wooden spoon.
