SFC: Race for last eight hots up as McMenamin ruled out
The temperatures may have gone down a few degrees in the past week but the heat will certainly be on for Derry, Laois, Monaghan and Tyrone today as they bid to make the last eight of this year's All-Ireland football championship.
A half-full Croke Park should witness two top-drawer fourth round qualifiers as the 2003 Leinster champions take on the might on Mickey Moran's Derry in the 2pm opener, and an intriguing all-Ulster clash between NFL Division Two champions Monaghan and the Stephen O'Neill-inspired Tyrone follows at 4pm.
