TYRONE v DUBLIN

They also beat Tyrone in the 2010 and 2011 championships, leaving the Ulster seeking their first All-Ireland SFC success over Dublin since the 2008 quarter-final.

The counties met in this year’s Allianz League when Dublin won by five points in Omagh in February.

ROSCOMMON v DONEGAL

This will be only the second championship game between the counties, with Donegal having won the first by 3-11 to 1-9 in Ballybofey in the 2008 All-Ireland qualifiers. Michael Murphy, then aged 18, scored 2-2 for Donegal.

The last competitive clash between the counties was in the 2017 Allianz League when Donegal won by a point in Dr. Hyde Park.
