Defending champions Kerry will face Monaghan at Croke Park next Sunday with the match preceeded by the meeting of Fermanagh and Kildare.

Yesterday evening's third round draw pitted Pat O'Shea's side against Monaghan for the second year running - Kerry defeated the Ulster side by the narrowest of margins in last season's quarter-finals.

The GAA today scheduled all four remaining qualifiers for headquarters. Saturday will see beaten Leinster finalists Wexford take on Down before Mayo and Tyrone face each other.

Tyrone manager Mickey Harte must wait until later in the week to discover the extent of a neck injury suffered by Sean Cavanagh against Westmeath. Cavanagh's brother, Colm, will definitely miss the match against John O'Mahony's side having dislocated his shoulder after replacing Sean.
