Ulster rivalry renewed as Down draw Derry

THE All-Ireland football qualifiers draw has thrown Ulster’s provincial rivals together again with Down facing Derry in the tie of the round.

Paddy O’Rourke’s men dispatched last year’s beaten All-Ireland semi-finalists Fermanagh a week ago and the Mournemen stay in the province having been drawn to face Mickey Moran’s men next Saturday.

Cavan must pick themselves up from their 21-point drubbing at the hands of Tyrone as they face the other beaten Ulster semi-finalists Donegal, who edged past Wicklow at Aughrim yesterday.
