The All-Ireland hurling and football qualifier draws took place this morning and they’ve thrown up some intriguing ties.
In the hurling, Ger Cunningham’s Dublin side have been matched up against his native Cork while Wexford and Offaly will contest an All-Leinster tie following their recent defeats.
Limerick could not avail of a man advantage over Tipperary on Sunday in the Munster semi-final and they will travel to Westmeath in search of a lifeline.
The final draw sees 2013 All-Ireland champions Clare play host to Laois.

In the football, the stand-out draw is Derry’s clash with the losers of next weekend’s clash between reigning All-Ireland champions Dublin and Meath.
An All-Connacht clash sees Sligo take on Leitrim while, like the hurling, Laois will travel to Ennis to take on Clare.
And finally, the losers of the Cavan-Tyrone replay have a date with Carlow in the offing.
