GAA:Details of this weekend's SFC fixtures were confirmed by the GAA today with Croke Park set to host two double-headers; three quarter-final games and the one remaining Round 4 qualifier between Tyrone and Roscommon.

As the championship comes down to the business end of proceedings, the last remaining piece of the quarter-final jigsaw will be put in place after Tyrone and Roscommon lock horns on Saturday (July 30th) with a 4pm throw-in. The winner will take on Dublin in the last eight.

The second part of Saturday’s double-header will see Ulster champions Donegal take on Kieran McGeeney’s qualifier specialists Kildare from 6pm.

Limerick’s reward for their late and controversial win over Wexford at the weekend is a tilt at this year’s Munster champions Kerry when they take to the field at headquarters on Sunday (throw-in 2pm).
