Tyrone's win over Dublin in last Saturday's All-Ireland quarter-final sets up a new All-Ireland semi-final pairing as they will take on Wexford for the first time at this stage of the championship. Wexford won the last of their ten Leinster finals in 1945, eleven years before Tyrone won the Ulster title for the first time. While there's no semi-final or final history between them, they did meet in the All-Ireland qualifiers in 2000 when Tyrone won a first round game in Wexford Park by 1-9 to 0-10. The counties also met in a NFL Division 1 semi-final in April 2005 with Wexford winning by 1-8 to 1-7 at Wexford Park. With provincial winners, Armagh, Dublin and Galway all losing All-Ireland quarter-finals, Cork are only provincial champions still standing in the title race. It's the first time since the introduction of the qualifier system in 2001 that three of the four provincial champions failed to win the quarter-final. Tweet
