The draw for the first round of the All-Ireland SFC Championship qualifiers will take place on RTÉ Radio 1's Morning Ireland programme this coming Monday.

It will be made just after 8.30am. The eight counties from Divisions 1 and 2 of the Allianz Football League that did not qualify for their provincial finals will be in the pot: Mayo, Meath, Louth, Clare, Cork, Tyrone, Armagh and Monaghan.

The games are scheduled to be played on the weekend of 4/5 June, with throw-in times and venues to be confirmed by the Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) at a later date.

An open draw will be made to determine the four pairings, with the first team drawn gaining home advantage.

Home venues will be subject to approval by the CCCC.

Louth are the problem for the home venue. Anyone but Clare or Cork would create a problem, Mayo probably have more season ticket holders than will fit in any ground in Louth and neighbours Meath, Monaghan or Armagh would bring a crowd, as would the AI champions.

I'm sure there's a gable wall already designated should Louth get a home draw ... 'Drogheda or nowhere'

[armaghniac]

Or perhaps "Drogheda is nowhere"

Whoever comes through this first qualifier will be right back in the mix. One game, against a beaten provincial finalist, away from a quarter final. Things are going to start to heat up, June should be a great month for football

This Mornings draw

Mayo v Monaghan
Clare v Meath
Cork v Louth
Armagh v Tyrone

[Captain Obvious]

Short straw draw for Armagh however would be a great match to win and the Athletic Grounds should attract a big crowd.

[imtommygunn]

That's a very interesting draw.

[An Watcher]

Clones maybe?

[Derryman forever]

Why would Armagh concede home ground advantage?

[Blowitupref]

Clones maybe?

Mayo was drawn out first.

[skeog]

Nice draw for the coffers Athletic Ground be bunged going to be a humdinger.Banty be plotting downfall of Mayo with Buckleys inside knowledge or none.Mickey had a good record against Cork so he will be confident of a result.Clare Meath cannon fodder for a lucky beaten finalist.

[balladmaker]

If Armagh ever had the opportunity for a statement win in the Championship, this is it ... should be a cracker atmosphere in the tight confines of the Athletic Grounds.

[yellowcard]

Happy enough with that draw tbh. We aren't going to win an AI so we might as well face off against one of the better sides sooner rather than later and the fact that we have them in the athletic Grounds gives us a decent chance. Win and it sets us up nicely to make the quarter finals.

I think the Armagh Tyrone draw is the best for both teams, never seen the point of drawing one of the weaker teams, as inevitable as it is, you are going to face a top team eventually. 

Very hard one to predict, both teams severely underperformed in their championship match's so its hard to know where they are at.  I don't believe Tyrone are clear favorites, but certainly ahead. 

Mayo and Monaghan should be a good game.  Monaghan on their day can cause any team big issue, so it will be a big test for Mayo.
