In the All-Ireland SFC preliminary quarter-finals, Mayo will be the home team in a prominent match against Derry. The Mayo squad, under the guidance of Kevin McStay, experienced a high-octane stalemate with Dublin at Dr Hyde Park on Sunday. Though a win would have secured them first place in the group, Cormac Costello’s pivotal late score clinched a draw for Dublin, pushing Mayo into the preliminary quarter-final draw. Here, they have been set against Mickey Harte’s Derry team.
In a comparable scenario to Mayo, Connacht champions Galway were left rueing a draw, this time versus Armagh, which deprived them of top position in the group. Consequently, they will host Monaghan, who narrowly triumphed in an intense finale against Meath on Sunday.
In other games, Tyrone is set to welcome Roscommon, and Louth will face Cork on their home turf. Ger Brennan’s Cork side secured their spot courtesy of a superior scoring difference, despite their weekend defeat to Kerry.
The fixtures for the All-Ireland SFC preliminary quarter-finals are as follows:
– Mayo versus Derry
– Louth battling Cork
– Tyrone welcoming Roscommon
– Galway hosting Monaghan.
