Munster teams get rub of green in Qualifiers

THE three Munster hurling teams, Limerick, Clare and Waterford, will be favoured to qualify for next month's Guinness All-Ireland SHC quarter-finals.

This is arising from the composition of the two groupings decided in last evening's television draw.

And, arguably the most interesting aspect of the draw for the first round of the Bank of Ireland football qualifier competition is the inclusion of All-Ireland co-favourites Armagh as possible losers of next week-end's Ulster replay.
