Derry has been relegated from the Allianz Football League after losing to Mayo by five points at Celtic Park. Mayo's goals from Jordan Flynn and Frank Irwin secured the victory, ending Derry's three-year stay in the top division. Mayo took control of the match with Flynn's goal just before halftime, leading 1-11 to 1-08. In the second half, Irwin's goal extended Mayo's lead to 2-12 to 1-10, and they scored five unanswered points to go ten points clear. Despite a late rally from Derry, led by Conor Glass, it was not enough. Mayo's win keeps them in contention for the league final, while Derry will play in Division 2 next season.
