GAA fans can start planning their summer this evening.
The draws for next year’s Football Championship have taken place and next year’s Munster Football Championship will see Cork and Kerry kept apart.
In the Connacht Football Championship Mayo were drawn to take on Galway at the quarter-final stage.
Pat Spillane underlined the importance of winning that game for both counties.
He said: “If Galway lose, it’s seven matches before they reach the All-Ireland final.”
The Ulster Football Championship threw up a tough start for Tyrone who face Monaghan in the quarters while the semi-final stage pits the winner against Fermanagh or Armagh.
Biggest draw tonight is Ulster. Get drawn in the preliminary round and you are goosed. #GAA
