THE EAGERLY-AWAITED round two football qualifier between Cavan and Kildare is set to take place on Sunday July 15th at 3pm in Kingspan Breffni Park. The decision to play the match on a Sunday means there will be no live television coverage of the match given that both TV3 and RTÉ are already committed to broadcasting provincial finals that afternoon.
The fixture details for the eight round two games were announced earlier by the GAA with five games set to take place over the course of the Saturday and three games on the Sunday afternoon. Roscommon and Tyrone will start the ball rolling on the Saturday when they meet in Dr Hyde Park at 2pm.
