Mayo went down by 2-13 to 1-6 away to Waterford. They were in trouble when they trailed by 1-8 to 1-0 at the break despite Annie Gough finding the net after two minutes.

But Waterford secured a fourth win of the campaign when Lauren McGregor got her second goal of the match after the break.

Tyrone, promoted last season along with Kildare, lost their top flight status when they went down to the Lilywhites by 4-10 to 2-8. Róisín McGovern got a second half hat-trick for Kildare after Aoife Murnane found the net in the opening half.
