GAA confirms details for All-Ireland football quarter-finals

The Dublin-Galway All-Ireland quarter-final will take place on Saturday evening while Kerry-Derry will anchor Sunday’s double header at Croke Park.

The Armagh-Roscommon quarter-final will be the curtain raiser at GAA headquarters on Saturday and will throw in at 4pm before the All-Ireland champions put their title on the line for the first time this year against Padraic Joyce’s side at 6.15pm.




On Sunday, Donegal-Louth will get underway at 1.15pm, with Louth afforded the extra day having been the only one of the quarter-finalists to be in action on Sunday last, with Kerry-Derry throwing in at 3.15pm.
