TONIGHT’S WINS FOR Tyrone and Donegal sets up two mouth-watering All-Ireland football quarter-finals next Saturday in Croke Park.
Tyrone’s reward for defeating Sligo this afternoon will be a tilt at recently-crowned Ulster champions Monaghan.
While Donegal must dust themselves down after seeing off Galway and get set for another Connacht side in the shape of Mayo.
It’s a repeat of the 2013 pairings at the quarter-final stage when Tyrone defeated Monaghan by 0-14 to 0-12 in a game remembered for Sean Cavanagh’s infamous tackle on Conor McManus.
The following day in another quarter-final clash, Mayo walloped Donegal by 4-17 to 1-10.
The first two quarter-finals take place tomorrow in Croke Park with Kerry and Kildare facing off before Dublin meet Fermanagh.
Here’s the state of affairs as we’re left with eight teams in contention.
