DERRY will meet Munster Champions Kerry in the All-Ireland SFC quarter-finals after just falling short against them at the semi-final stage last season.
Ulster champs Donegal have been pitted against Louth - conquerors of Cork - while Armagh will take on Roscommon, who deservedly ousted Tyrone at the weekend.
The last eight is completed by the pairing of All-Ireland and Leinster champions Dublin against their Connacht counterparts Galway.
The ties will take place in Croke Park this weekend, with days and throw-in times yet to be confirmed.

However, with Louth having played their preliminary quarter-final on Sunday, the likelihood is that they will get an extra day’s rest/preparation so will meet Donegal in Sunday’s opener, probably before the clash of Derry and Kerry.
That would mean Armagh taking on Roscommon in the first match on Saturday, to be followed by Dublin against Galway.
All-Ireland SFC quarter-final draw:
Armagh v Roscommon
Donegal v Louth
Dublin v Galway
Kerry v Derry
