Why Armagh will not fall from grace and be in the 2026 All Ireland mix
Back in 2019, Derry was playing its football in Division Four, and they were seemingly on the road to nowhere as the once-great footballing county continued to underperform and uninspire. In March 2024, they climbed the Hogan Steps to lift the Division One title, and had two Ulster titles from the two previous seasons jingling in their back pockets.

Yorkshire climb off bottom of Division One after 10-wicket victory over Essex
Yorkshire moved off the foot of Division One of the Rothesay County Championship after a 10-wicket win over Essex. Jonny Bairstow's side skittled their visitors for 131 in their second innings. Essex resumed on 33 for three on the final day but were unable to set any sort of target, with Jack White taking four for 37 as Yorkshire eased to the 41 runs needed. That left the hosts chasing 41 in the fourth innings to seal victory, which they did for the loss of no wickets. Elsewhere in Division One, the run-fest in the opening days of the matches meant that the four other fixtures ended in a draw. Centuries for Emilio Gay and Alex Lees ensured Durham survived against Surrey, who had amassed a mammoth 820 in their first innings. The visitors were made to follow on early on day four, but Gay and Lees ensured they finished 262 for no wicket in their second innings. Nottinghamshire were unable to force victory against Somerset, who finished 238 for four in their second innings, while Hampshire batted the day out against Hampshire. It was also a stalemate between Sussex and Warwickshire, who were 260 for four when the bails were removed. In Division Two, Lancashire secured their first win of the season with a thumping 261-run win at Derbyshire. The hosts resumed day four on 139 for three chasing an ambitious 513 to win, but lost steady wickets throughout the day. Captain Wayne Madsen finished 95 not out as wickets fell around him, with George Balderson claiming four for 54 and Tom Bailey three for 39. Gloucestershire survived against Glamorgan, finishing on 255 for seven. Kent clung on to earn a draw against Northamptonshire, who declared on 722 for six in their first innings, after edging past the 157 needed for their opponents to bat again before shaking hands shortly after when on 160 for eight.

Paul Jenkins had the hosts in a spin, taking 6-57 in his 27.4 over haul as Wavertree were bowled out for 135. Carwyn Johnson also took 3-27 before he top scored with 37 as Hall's reply only reached 123 - 13 runs short of a winning score.

The visitors opened up with 252 for seven, Billy Swarbrick and Hidayat Haroonkhail taking two wickets each. Shaun Walker's 34 was the highlight of Chirk's response as Tom Parker landed 5-25. It was just as bad for Chirk Seconds in Division Seven as they were thrashed by 164 runs at Condover Seconds, who posted 218 for eight (Alfie Shaw 4-55). Harry Lunt (11) was the only one to reach double figures for Chirk, who were dismissed for just 54. Rick Moore's super century was all in vain as Chester Boughton Hall lost by six wickets at home to Nantwich in the Cheshire County Premier League. Moore blasted 108 in Hall's 232 with Andrew Metcalf adding 40 before Luke Robinson's unbeaten 126 led the visitors to a match-winning 236 for four (Jack Williams 3-87). Neston celebrated a 71-run win at home to Oxton, who were bowled out for 136 chasing the hosts' 207 for five.
