The Champions from the past two seasons have been paired in the same group in the draw for the 2017 Leitrim senior football championship which took place at the Bush Hotel on Monday night.
Holders Aughawillan and 2016 kingpins Mohill will meet in Group A which also includes last year's intermediate winners Ballinamore Sean O'Heslin's, Allen Gaels, Melvin Gaels and Gortletteragh.
Neighbours Annaduff and Bornacoola have been pitted against each other in Group B along with last year's runners-up Glencar/Manorhamilton, St Patrick's Dromahair, Drumreilly and St Mary's Kiltoghert.
The top four teams in each group advance to the quarter-finals while the bottom two sides will go head-to-head in a relegation play-off.
The draws were also made for the county's intermediate and junior football championships.
