Sixth Ulster derby in All-Ireland Quarter Finals

Derry will face Tyrone in the GAA Football Championship All-Ireland quarter-finals after beating Cavan in Sunday’s qualifying series match.

The pairing is set to become the sixth Ulster derby since the beginning of the series which, for the first time in a qualifying series, allows teams beaten in their provincial championships one more chance at the All Ireland title.

The two Ulster counties will meet at Clones on Sunday 5 August in a repeat of the Ulster semi-final clash which Tyrone won 3-7 to 0-14 in June. On the same day Meath play Westmeath at Croke Park.

The day before Galway will take on Roscommon at Castlebar, while All-Ireland Champions Kerry take on Dublin at Thurles.
