GAA:Dublin fans will get to see the hurlers and footballers in action for a second straight Saturday at Croke Park after the draws for the next round of qualifiers were announced this afternoon.

The hurlers will be in action first, with a throw-in of 3pm for their qualifier against Antrim. Pat Gilroy’s footballers top the bill in their round three clash against Armagh, with a throw-in set for 5pm.

Poor weather didn’t help matters for last Saturday’s double-header, with a crowd of just over 22,000 paying to get in.

Two of the other three football qualifiers go ahead on Saturday, with Derry entertaining Armagh at Celtic Park (3pm) and Offaly hosting Down at Tullamore (7pm).
