The GAA has confirmed that the draw, if required, for quarter-finals in the B section of the All-Ireland SFC will take place on Saturday evening.

The draw will be aired live on RTE Radio 1 after the 8pm news & sport, or slightly later if any of Saturday's games require extra time.

A draw is only required if Cork and Mayo win their Round 4B games.

If either Donegal or Westmeath win their Round 4B games then no draw is required, as a repeat of a provinical final pairing is not permitted in the quarter-finals. Provincial winners Dublin and Tyrone will play the Round 4 B winner in the quarter-finals

The quarter-final games will take place in Croke Park on Saturday 6th  August.

Tyrone v Cork/Mayo/Westmeath at 4pm.

Dublin v Cork/Donegal/Mayo at 6pm.
