Fermanagh will meet Ulster rivals Antrim in the quarter-finals of the Tailteann Cup, while favourites Down will take on Wicklow, under the management of Armagh great Oisin McConville.

Down met Wicklow in the opening round of this year’s Division Three, the visitors winning by 0-18 to 0-13 in Aughrim, setting the tone for the Mournmen’s promotion and the hosts’ eventual relegation.

Another former Orchard County star, Justin McNulty, will lead Laois into a Leinster derby against Kildare, while Sligo take on Limerick. McNulty’s O’Moore men squeezed through a tough test against New York at the weekend.
