Kerry will meet Division 1 champions Derry in next weekend’s All-Ireland SFC quarter-finals.

In a repeat of last year’s All-Ireland semi-final, Jack O’Connor also locks horns with Mickey Harte for the second season in succession after the Tyrone native was in charge of Louth last year.

Following three consecutive championship losses, Derry are coming off a second successive win, following up their win over Westmeath with a penalty shoot-out victory against Mayo in Castlebar on Saturday.

Louth will take on Donegal in the last-eight game with the fixture likely to be scheduled for Sunday so as to give Louth a full seven-day break from their preliminary quarter-final win over Cork in Inniskeen yesterday.

All-Ireland champions Dublin face Connacht victors Galway in an appetising showdown, which would appear earmarked for a Saturday evening throw-in time.

Galway are sweating over the fitness of Shane Walsh who came off in the first half of Saturday’s victory against Monaghan in Salthill.

Armagh have been pitted against Roscommon, who will be looking to pull of a third consecutive victory over Ulster opposition.

If a semi-final draw is required, it will take place on RTÉ's "The Sunday Game" evening show next weekend.
