The draws for the 2024 Provincial Football Championships have taken place and Ulster has thrown up some mouth watering clashes.
Derry under Mickey Harte will face a Donegal side managed by Jim McGuinness in the Ulster SFC quarter-final, and it doesn’t get more show stealing than that. Monaghan, Cavan and Tyrone are also on that side of the draw in the Northern province.
In Munster Cork and Kerry could meet in a semi-final if the Rebels are able to overcome Limerick in a quarter-final.
Leinster could have a Dublin v Meath quarter-final, if Colm O’Rourke’s Tailteann Cup winners can see off Longford in the first round.
Connacht saw a very one sided draw for 2023 but that’s not the case next year with Galway and Mayo kept apart. Mayo, should they see off New York, will face Roscommon in the semi-final.
