Saturday week's All-Ireland SFC Qualifier Round 4B double-header at Croke Park will feature four teams that Paul Grimley is / has been involved with.

The Pearse Og clubman served as a selector with Kildare, Monaghan and Meath before taking up his current role as Armagh manager at the end of 2012, having been Joe Kernan's right-hand man when the Orchard County won the All-Ireland in 2002.

Grimley's charges will face Meath at 5pm, with Monaghan and Kildare crossing swords in the second part of the double-header at 7pm. Both games will be shown live on Sky Sports 3.

Grimley briefly broke Armagh's controversial media ban to give former Mayo and Armagh star Billy Joe Padden, and now of Newstalk Radio, an interview after last Saturday's win over Roscommon.

"We are doing this because we felt we were treated very poorly, particularly when certain things came to light from other journalists," he said of the ban.

"Things came to light from a third party to us which I wasn't very happy about. The only reason I am doing this interview is because it is yourself."
