Nicky and the lads will be on at 7 on Network 2 doing the draw for next year.

Things to remember:

Football:

Munster - Cork and Kerry are seeded and cannot meet until the Final.

Connacht - Sligo begin in London, Leitrim are going to the Big Apple. Two of Mayo, Galway or Roscommon must meet in a  preliminary game.

Leinster - Dublin, Laois, Offaly and Wexford are all seeded and avoid the preliminary round.

Ulster - no restrictions.

Semi-Finals - Its Connacht v Munster and Leinster v Ulster.

Hurling:

Westmeath play in the Leinster Championship but not in the McCarthy Cup.

Winners of Munster and Leinster go straight to the All-Ireland semi-finals and cannot meet until an All-Ireland Final.

You're Summer will be mapped out shortly.

I'd heard about the Munster seeding, but what's the story with Connacht and Leinster?

It's my own opinion, but I think whatever team wins Ulster should be automatically seeded not to be drawn in the Preliminary round.

So Cork/Kerry play one "real" match and straight into the Quarter Finals; meanwhile back at the ranch in Ulster and Leinster................................

Well Armagh proved that one wrong, but that's not the reason why I think that. To me the Preliminary round has always felt like a qualifier, so the defending Champions should automatically 'qualify'.

The Munster chairman says it's the previous year's finalists who are seeded - not strictly Cork v Kerry.

But of course that's effectively the same thing really.
