All-Ireland SFC: Armagh to face Louth in Round 2A as Donegal drawn with Cork


Ulster champions Armagh will take on Louth in Round 2A of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship.

Donegal, who defeated Kerry in a feisty previous round in a repeat of last year’s final, will take on Cork in Ballybofey.

Tyrone will host Mayo and Westmeath will travel to Galway in the other fixtures in Round 2A.

It will be the first time that Armagh and Louth, who battled past Dublin in the first round, have met in Championship football.

In round 2B, there will be a reunion for former Kildare boss Jack O’Connor as reigning All-Ireland champions Kerry travel to the Lilywhites.

Derry will host Meath at Celtic Park while Cavan will face a wounded Dublin side.

Roscommon will travel to Clones to face Monaghan in the final 2B tie.

The winners of the Round 2A ties, which will be played on the weekend of 13-14 June, will progress straight to the quarter-finals.

The losers will have another chance to reach the last eight as they will face one of the winners from the Round 2B side of the draw.

The counties defeated in Round 2B will exit the competition.
