The losers of Sunday's Ulster SFC semi-final replay between Tyrone and Cavan will be back in action in six days.
In a fixtures anomaly, having waited two weeks instead of one to meet again, either the Red Hands or the Breffni County will host Carlow in a Round 2A Qualifier on Saturday, July 9th.
It's not much better for Monaghan or Donegal - the losers of their replay this Saturday will entertain Longford in a 2B Qualifier on July 9th - which will be their third outing in 15 days.
And the third round of Qualifiers is due to be played over the weekend of July 16th!
It all makes winning this weekend's replays even more important than usual. A path straight through to the July 17th Anglo-Celt Cup decider is the best way to avoid some severe fixtures congestion for the four teams involved.
