Champions will begin their campaign against Westmeath or Louth

All-Ireland champions Dublin are set for a 2012 Leinster SFC quarter-final against either Westmeath or Louth, following the completion of tonight's provincial Championship draws at Croke Park.

Pat Gilroy's Dubs are on a potential course to meet their 2011 Leinster final opponents Wexford at the semi-final stage.

Wexford were boosted this week with the news that Jason Ryan will stay in charge of the Model County side for a sixth successive year.

The Slaneysiders will face the winners of the first round clash between Laois and Longford in one of the quarter-finals.

On the other side of the draw Meath will take on Wicklow in the first round, with the winners facing Luke Dempsey's Carlow charges. Offaly will battle it out with Kieran McGeeney's Kildare in the fourth quarter-final.

Meanwhile, in next year's Munster Championship, Kerry v Tipperary is one of two quarter-final ties, with Waterford hosting Limerick in the other encounter.

The winners of that game will face an away game against Clare, while the prize for the victors of the Kerry-Tipperary match is a semi-final date with 2010 All-Ireland champions Cork.
