Monaghan United 0 Dundalk 3
Dundalk did what they had to do but it wasn't enough as Longford's draw with St Pat's means the cup finalists were relegated.
Martin Reilly had Dundalk in front after just 20 seconds when chipping home
from Donal Broughan pass.
Stephen McGuinness headed a second goal seven minutes after the break before Nicholas McCarville put through his own goal 12 minutes from time.
