Who will play who in All-Ireland football semi-finals amid GAA draw update?

The GAA has released a further update on the possible All-Ireland Senior Football semi-finals ahead of the final two quarter-final ties on Sunday.

Galway and Armagh overcame Dublin and Roscommon respectively on Saturday to earn their spots in the last four, making the semi-final situation somewhat clearer.

Donegal play Louth and Derry play Kerry in the quarter-finals on Sunday and if the favourites, Kerry and Donegal, prevail, there will be no need for a draw. Similarly, if Donegal and Derry win, no draw will be needed. However, there is one scenario where a full draw will be needed to determine the semi-final line-ups.

In a statement, the GAA said: “The draw for the Semi-Finals of the All Ireland SFC (if required) will take place on the Sunday Game Live this evening directly after the Quarter Final meeting of Kerry and Derry.

“The draw is subject to the avoidance of repeat pairings (where possible) from any stage in the Championship.”

Below is an outline of the draw details base do the remaining teams:

“If Donegal & Kerry win today and join Armagh & Galway in the Semi-Finals, no draw is required, as Armagh have played both Galway & Donegal, the pairings will be:

Armagh v Kerry

Donegal v Galway

“If Donegal & Derry win today and join Armagh & Galway in the Semi-Finals, no draw is required, as all teams have played each other apart from Galway and Donegal, and the draw is subject to avoidance of repeat pairings, where possible, the pairings will be:

Donegal v Galway

Armagh v Derry

“If Louth and Kerry win today and join Armagh & Galway in the Semi-Finals, a draw will be required, and due to repeat pairings, Armagh and Galway will be drawn against Louth and Kerry, the pairings will be:

Galway v Louth/Kerry

Armagh v Louth/Kerry

“If Louth & Derry win today and join Armagh & Galway in the Semi-Finals, a draw will be required, as Armagh, Galway & Derry have all played each other. The four teams will be drawn from one bowl, in an open draw.
