The first round SF championship draw will take place on Monday morning.

Sixteen teams will be involved and - in a break with tradition - it's going to be an open draw.

The system in place for the last four seasons, where teams were divided into A and B sides, has been dispensed with.

Mayo, Tyrone, Cavan, Armagh, Limerick, Waterford, Louth, Offaly, Wexford and London are already through to the draw, having lost their first-round / quarter-final provincial encounters, while six more teams will join them this weekend.

The losers of the following games: Down V Antrim; Laois V Westmeath; Carlow V Kildare; Longford V Meath; Wicklow V Dublin; and Derry V Donegal will all be taking the backdoor route.

The draw will be held at 8:30am on Monday, May 28^th, with the games due to be played on Saturday, June 9^th.
