All-Ireland SFC/Quarter-final draw: In a rematch of the 1992 All-Ireland final, Leinster champions Dublin have drawn Donegal for next weekend's senior football quarter-finals.
Both teams have in common a victory over Meath in Croke Park in this year's championship, but whether their first championship showdown in 10 years will be staged in headquarters remains to be seen.
However, given the phenomenal crowds the Dublin side drew in the Leinster final and the surge of interest across the suburbs, the game will most probably feature in Croke Park as the main show on a double bill.
The glamour tie of the series involves All-Ireland champions Galway and Kerry. The counties last met in the All-Ireland final two years ago, which Kerry won after a replay.
Galway recovered from that painful loss to claim last year's championship through the back-door system. This year, it is Kerry that have impressed on the scenic route, with an emphatic victory over Kildare last weekend.
Munster champions Cork will play Mayo. Again, there is recent history between the counties as they clashed in the All-Ireland semi-final of 1999. Cork prevailed on that occasion and are in buoyant form again after claiming the Munster title in convincing circumstances in Páirc Uí Chaoimh. Mayo have advanced steadily and with little fuss after enduring a narrow loss to Galway in the Connacht championship.
The most novel pairing involves Ulster champions Armagh and Sligo, who lost the Connacht final to Galway. Armagh, the most consistent team in Ulster over the past half decade, have re-emerged with fresh conviction under Joe Kernan and many believe this summer is the present squad's best chance of landing the All-Ireland that they might have clinched in 2000.
However, Peter Ford's Sligo have been a mysterious and heart-warming force since the GAA implemented the back door system.
Last year, they made a famous visit to Croke Park and unseated Kildare and, just over a week ago, they were jubilant against a Tyrone team that were the quiet tip for glory. Armagh will approach the idea of playing a Sligo side who are beginning to love Croke Park with some trepidation.
A decision on where and when the quarter-finals will be played is to be announced today.
However, it would be no great surprise if two double-headers were presented for next Sunday and Monday respectively. The idea of a Saturday game has been abandoned as the GAA do not wish to further inconvenience the residents around Croke Park.
There is a possibility that some of the provincial venues could be used, but so attractive are the fixtures that doubling up would guarantee bumper crowds in Croke Park.
Kerry have not enjoyed the degree of support they normally command so far this year, but their form of late and the lure of Galway is certain to bring a big crowd from the Kingdom. That match is likely to feature as the main event on one of the afternoons. It is likely that the Dublin game will take top billing on the other day.
Dublin remain the only Leinster side in the championship, with the possibility of an all-provincial final still alive for the other three provinces. Donegal have already objected to playing on a Monday, thereby rendering the likelihood of Dublin playing on Sunday all the greater.
