Holders Ratoath and last year's runners-up Summerhill avoided each other in last night's Meath SFC quarter-final draw.
Ratoath, who are chasing a three-in-a-row of Keegan Cups, were paired with local rivals and last year's intermediate champions Dunshaughlin, while perennial contenders Summerhill will also face a local derby against Trim, who ousted Dunboyne in dramatic fashion last weekend.
The other quarter-final pairings are Wolfe Tones v Simonstown Gaels and St Colmcille's v Donaghmore/Ashbourne. The winner of the Ratoath v Dunshaughlin tie will take on either Wolfe Tones or Simonstown in the semi-final, while Summerhill or Trim will meet St Colmcille's or Donaghmore/Ashbourne for a place in the final.
The draw also took place in Dunganny last night for the IFC quarter-finals as well as the SFC and IFC relegation playoffs.
