LAST UPDATE | 16 May 2023
DUBLIN FOOTBALLERS WILL share the Croke Park stage with their hurling counterparts for their first appearance in the new round-robin format of the All-Ireland football championship.
The once-again crowned kings of Leinster after last weekend’s rout of Louth, will headline the Sunday afternoon at 4pm with a clash against Roscommon, after Micheál Donoghue’s hurlers face Galway in the Leinster hurling round-robin.
The GAA have set the fixtures for the last weekend of May. Ulster finalists Armagh will surely get a huge welcome from an inflated fanbase after coming so close to a first Ulster title since 2008 when they host Westmeath at the Armagh Box-It Athletic Grounds at 4.45pm on Saturday, 27 May.
Also on the same day is the meeting of Louth and Cork, which has been set for Pairc Tailteann in Navan with a throw in time yet to be determined.
While at 7pm, Derry and Monaghan, who already met in the Ulster semi-final, will have a chance to meet again. That game will be hosted in Celtic Park with huge numbers expected to follow the current Ulster champions.
Here are the fixtures in full.
Saturday, 27 May
Group 1: Louth V Cork, Pairc Tailteann, Time TBC
Group 2: Armagh V Westmeath, Box-It Athletic Grounds, 4.45pm
Group 4: Derry V Monaghan, Celtic Park, 7pm
