The last place in the All-Ireland SFC series will be decided on Sunday when Kildare and Louth face off in the first of the Leinster SFC semi-finals at Glenisk O’Connor Park.

With Allianz League positions offering no protection, the winners will qualify for the Sam Maguire by virtue of reaching the Leinster final, while the losers will drop to the Tailteann Cup. The 15 teams already confirmed for the All-Ireland SFC series are: Armagh, Cavan, Clare, Cork, Derry, Donegal, Down, Dublin, Galway, Kerry, Mayo, Meath, Monaghan, Roscommon and Tyrone.

The Tailteann Cup seedings, with New York to join at the preliminary quarter-final stage, are as follows:

First Seeds: Offaly, Kildare / Louth, Fermanagh, Westeamth

Second Seeds: Sligo, Laois, Limerick, Wexford

Third Seeds: Antrim, Leitrim, Wicklow, Carlow

Fourth Seeds: Tipperary, Longford, London, Waterford

The race for the Sam Maguire gets underway on the weekend of May 17/18, while the Tailteann Cup starts a week earlier on May 10/11.
