With Donegal able to sit back and look on, the draw for the All-Ireland SFC preliminary quarter-finals was made this morning.
That's because Jim McGuinness's side won Group 3 on Saturday following their 2-23 to 0-5 win over Clare, coupled with Tyrone's 1-17 to 0-16 victory over Cork. Armagh, Dublin and Kerry also won their groups and are straight into the last eight on June 29/30, where they await winners of the preliminary quarter-finals.
This morning's draw for the preliminary quarter-finals, all games this weekend, all live on GAAGO
Mayo v Derry
Louth v Cork
Tyrone v Roscommon
Galway v Monaghan
"The four second-placed teams from Round 1 (Group Stage) shall be drawn to play at home against the four third-placed teams, subject in the first instance to the avoidance of repeat Provincial Final pairings and where possible repeat pairings
from Round 1," is the GAA correspondence on the quarter-final draw, which will take place next Monday. This means if Cork and/or Tyrone progress, where possible, Donegal would not play them in the last eight.
