Greencastle defeated Kildress 1-9 to 0-10 on Sunday to finish their league campaign. However, the victory alone did not secure the club's promotion.

In the dressing room following the final whistle, they awaited the result of Aghyaran's tie with Killeeshil.
Going into Sunday, Aghyaran were favourites for promotion, but Killeeshil emerged victorious - 0-13 to 2-6 - ensuring they retained their Division 2 status. Their win also allowed Greencastle to top the table.
The moment Greencastle players discovered they had been promoted was captured by Mark Carson.
