Cork will entertain Roscommon in their All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final in Páirc Uí Chaoimh this weekend as Galway host Mayo in their last-12 game.

This morning’s draw also pairs Kildare with Monaghan and another derby in Ulster where Donegal have home advantage against Tyrone.

This year’s Division 1 finalists, the meeting of Connact champions Galway and league winners Mayo in Salthill will be the most eagerly-anticipated clash preliminary quarter-final. Cork’s game against Roscommon could yet form part of a double-header with an All-Ireland SHC quarter-final but that has not yet been confirmed and Limerick is in the running to host the Galway-Tipperary clash.

Kildare will nominate a home venue for their match with Monaghan as Newbridge is currently unavailable due to reconstruction, while Ballybofey’s MacCumhaill Park should be the venue for the Donegal-Tyrone affair.

As they were in the same group, Down and Meath couldn’t be drawn in the same Tailteann Cup semi-final. Down will face Laois while former Meath manager Andy McEntee with Antrim takes on his native Royal County.

The fixture details for this weekend’s All-Ireland preliminary quarter-finals and Tailteann Cup semi-finals along with the venues and times for the All-Ireland senior hurling quarter-finals will be confirmed by the Central Competitions Control Committee later today.

The Clare-Dublin and Galway-Tipperary hurling quarter-finals are slated for Saturday and the Tailteann Cup semi-finals in Croke Park the following day. All four games will be broadcast live by RTÉ. However, none of the preliminary quarter-finals are scheduled to be televised. Instead, two of them will be streamed on GAAGO with one or two of the games expected to be organised for Sunday.
