The battle of the biggest bums.

Mayo v Fermanagh

Monaghan v Longford

Kildare v Offaly

Limerick v Cork

So what happens next? The four winners play off in round three to whittle it down to two teams that will play the losers from Tyrone v Donegal and Galway v Roscommon? That's a serious tough draw versus side A!

Can someone explain to me the logic of the side A & B draws rather than just an open draw?

To prevent the provincial losers having a 6 day turnaround afaik

[Dinny Breen]

Are the quarter-finals an open draw?

[Maroon Manc]

Are the quarter-finals an open draw?

no

Qualifiers from group A will play the winners of Connacht & Munster

Qualifiers from group B will play the winners of Ulster & Leinster

[Hound]

Most likely that Dubs will play the Ulster runners-up in the quarter-finals - unless Mayo beat the Ulster runners up in R4 (couldn't see anyone else in that side of the draw beating Tyrone/Donegal - maybe Monaghan although they can't play Donegal in R4).

Qualifiers from group B will play the winners of Ulster & Leinster

Cheers, seems a lot more complex than necessary.

Serious changes needed to championship draw. The qualifiers are meaningless, a sideshow. Nobody cares. I wish the GAA would cop on and have an open draw.

Probably although its done to guarantee a 2 week turnaround for the losers in the provincial finals son splitting them into the 2 sections is the best way of guaranteeing it.

I see a few are moaning that B is a lot stronger than A but is only because there has been 2 big shocks this year which has led to Mayo & Cork entering section B
