The draws for the fourth round of the SFC qualifiers and the All-Ireland SHC quarter-finals will take place in McHale Park, Castlebar on Sunday evening after the Connacht SFC final.

The draw for round four of the SFC qualifiers will involve the four winning teams from round three and the four defeated provincial finalists. The venues are not determined on a home and away basis.

The pairings for SHC quarter-finals will also be finalised on Sunday evening. The draw will involve the Leinster and Munster Provincial Finals losers (Galway and either Cork or Waterford) in one bowl and the phase 3 winners (Tipperary or Offaly and Dublin or Antrim) in another bowl.

Under rule teams who have met previously in the championship cannot meet again, therefore if Offaly beat Tipperary, there will not be a draw as the pairings will be Galway v Dublin or Antrim and Cork or Waterford v Offaly. If Cork lose and Tipperary win, there will not be a draw as the pairings will be Galway v Tipperary and Cork v Dublin or Antrim.

Any other sequence of results will necessitate a draw.

The draw will be screened live on TV3 and posted here soon afterwards. The CCCC will meet on Monday when all times, dates and venues for the various qualifier games will be confirmed. Tweet
