Down were guaranteed a home tie regardless of how they were drawn.

FIRST TEAM HOME

A lot of poor teams making it through to the second round.

Monaghan Armagh
Donegal   Carlow
London    Down
Wicklow   Fermanagh
Leitrim   Longford
Wexford Offaly
Louth   Tipperary
Meath   Waterford

Down guaranteed home game, I believe.

Some teams who had a bad first game, Meath, Donegal, and even Down can get the show back on the road.

Down were guaranteed a home tie regardless of how they were drawn.

why?

A motion was passed at congress that if you play away the previous year in the 1st qualifer round, you are guaranteed a home tie the next year.

Looks like Monaghan v Armagh is the pick by a country mile.

I feel sorry for Armagh, they didn't deserve such a tough away game but that's the ways of an open draw.

TacadoirArdMhacha · June 21, 2009, 06:26:21 PM

Not sure Down will be at home - no mention of it and they specifically said the draw was completely open.

As for Armagh, I'd be disappointed except I'm not at all surprised. Said from the start we'd get Monaghan. I'd say its the draw neither team wanted. We'd the slightly more impressive game int he Ulster championship but Monaghan have beaten us 2 years in a row in the League.

Weekend in the West End, why wouldnt I be?

Was really hoping for Armagh, then Leitrim, just so we had an excuse to go back to Lough Rynn Castle.

it is a pity and typical, that TV3 do not know this, although it was mentioned in the papers.

The man doing the draw was brutal also. Searching around for information on the teams as they were drew out. There only is 16 teams, it wasnt like he had to go through a book to find it.

TV3 ( more precisely the guy doing the commentary on the draw) knew very little about any of the counties drawn. A least 3-4 times he said i have the information here somewhere. You coud nearly hear the pages turning
