The GAA will hold a draw, if necessary, for the All-Ireland football semi-final pairings live on RTE tomorrow after the last quarter final between Kerry and Derry.
Where possible, repeat meetings will be avoided. Galway, surprise winners over reigning champions, Dublin, can’t meet Armagh or Derry, as they were in the same qualifying group, but can be drawn against Donegal, Kerry or Louth.
Meanwhile, Armagh cannot play Galway or Derry, having already met in the group stages. Donegal are also ruled out because they met Armagh in the Ulster final.
Armagh can be drawn against either Kerry or Louth.
If tomorrow’s All-Ireland quarter final favourites, Kerry and Donegal, both progress then the semi final line-up will be Armagh v Kerry and Galway v Donegal, with no draw necessary.
