MAYO AND ROSCOMMON will head back to Croke Park on Bank Holiday Monday for their All-Ireland senior football quarter-final replay.
The sides finished level at 2-9 to 1-12 this afternoon and the GAA have confirmed this evening the date and venue for the replay.
The throw-in time will be finalised tomorrow for the game on Monday 7 August.
It will be the fifth inter-county game next weekend at Croke Park with a busy schedule of games set to take place.
Saturday will see the football quarter-final meetings of Armagh and Tyrone at 4pm, followed by Dublin against Monaghan at 6pm.
On Sunday the first All-Ireland senior hurling semi-final will take place as Galway meet Tipperary, while the minor curtain-raiser sees Galway take on Kilkenny.
Then on Monday it will be another battle between the Connacht rivals Mayo and Roscommon.
Both managers had indicated their preference for a Bank Holiday Monday replay fixture.
“Monday here, that’s what we want,” stated Roscommon boss Kevin McStay, speaking before the replay had been confirmed.
“Sure it can’t be anywhere else. I know people are dreaming up Salthill or some place for the craic of it.
“We have no helicopters or airport in Roscommon to fly into Galway. It has to be here. This is where the All-Ireland quarter-finals are held. ”
“We’ve played an All-Ireland quarter-final on a Bank Holiday before and happy to again,” said Mayo boss Stephen Rochford.

Arsenal a sinking ship lol. Liverpool must be the Titanic in that case.
How are Arsenal a better team that they were last year?or the year b4 that or the year b4 that?
the only reason they havnt sold their star player this window is the fact they have none,
He’s right though, say what ye want
Wenger is a serious scam artist how is he still in a job?? No trophy since an undeserved FA cup in 2005….
Suarez would be stupid to go to that sinked ship
What as opposed to staying at Liverpool :-O ???!!!
Wenger is a seriously deluded man that should have been sacked four years ago.
The Board is holding the purse strings, not Wenger
Gazidis has said that Wenger has always had money to spend. It’s wengers fault for failing to attract quality players. Same old tired excuses from him every year. The Arsene knows best brigade is getting smaller at the emirates
