The all-Ulster clash between provincial champions Monaghan and Tyrone will get next weekend’s quarter-final double-headers underway at Croke Park at 5pm on Saturday.

Monaghan beat All-Ireland champions in Clones to win the Anglo Celt Cup, but they will have to break a losing streak that stretches back to 1988 against Tyrone in they want to continue their fine summer .

Cork’s reward for their storming comeback against Galway on Saturday is a meeting with Dublin in the second match next Saturday, with the game set for a 7.0pm throw-in.

Sunday’s double bill gets underway with Munster champions Kerry taking on Cavan before last year’s All-Ireland finalists Mayo and Donegal clash in the tie of the weekend.
