Defending champions Roscommon are in line to face Mayo in the semi-finals of next year's Connacht SFC, after the draw for the 2020 Championship was made on Tuesday morning.

However both sides have hurdles to negotiate before a meeting in the last four, with Roscommon playing away to London in the quarter-finals and Mayo taking on Leitrim.

Anthony Cunningham’s side beat Mayo 2-12 to 0-17 in last year’s semis, before going on to beat Galway 1-13 to 0-12 in the final.

Last year's beaten finallists Galway are currently managerless after Kevin Walsh stood down last month, and they start the 2020 Championship in New York.
