BALLINTUBBER WILL RESUME the defence of their Mayo senior football championship title with a clash against Belmullet in the last eight.
Should they successfully negotiate that challenge, a rematch with 2018 runners-up Breaffy could be on the cards in the semi-finals.
The draw for the SFC quarter-finals and semi-finals, which was made tonight, has put last year’s finalists on a collision course, with Breaffy set to take on Ballina Stephenites in their next outing.
Ballintubber won their fourth county title in nine years when they defeated Breaffy by just a single point in last October’s decider.
On the other side of this year’s draw, Castlebar Mitchels — the three-in-a-row champions from 2015 to ’17 — will face Knockmore, who they defeated in the 2016 final.
The winners of that tie will be rewarded with a semi-final against Ballaghaderreen or Davitts.
Venues, dates and times have yet to be confirmed.

I’d love to see mayo win it out the really deserve it just have to keep the egos under control by the looks of things
@Jamie: sure you have no interest in gaelic football you continually slag it off on here.
@dead right: the only thing he slags off more than gaa is mayo gaa!
@Dec: and dublin bitter little cavan man
Ah boys yee are all in fierce bad form tonight
@Jamie: Mayo deserve nothing more than the pain they are suffering, they are somehow egotistical and arrogant dispite their constant failures. Dublin and Kerry will see to it that they fail again this year.
@dead right: And no true GAA fan could consiously support mayo. Dublin are disliked by some but have to be respected as Champions. Mayo on the other hand have no respect.
@SYM-Metal: jaysus paul scanlon would you have a night off. you get slagged off by everyone here, even those that aren’t mayo fans!! keep changing your handle but its obvious from how you talk. do us all a favour and write “i hate mayo” a hundred times on your bedroom wall and save us from having to read your muck on here. cheers lad
Mayo were absolutely brutal today. They are a serious team in decline. Outside of durkan and parsons not one would get in a Dublin or Kerry team. Unfortunately they had their chance. As a Dublin person it’s Kerry’s to lose
@Bill Clay: insert year here.
@Bill Clay: Stop commenting. You’re an embarrassment.
Yawn. If they had won by 30 points you’d no doubt be claiming “Typical Mayo. Peaking too early. Championships aren’t won in May or June”.
Tough game against galway next. But would love to beat the rossies in the final. I suppose paul scanlon has changed his name again
@stephen keane: He shut up as soon as Ross were relegated. Very peaceful :)
Cillian o Connor is the greatest waste of time….gloryhole if I ever see one
@Brian Shaw: Without the constant soft fees he gets, mayo wouldn’t score at all.
If Sligo weren’t so negative they could have taken them, seems like Sligo’s main ambition in this game was not to get slaughtered like they did two years ago.
@Tomas Rooney: You have to defend and attack to get anywhere, we’re just not good enough, but I’d have no issues with the game plan, your lines are taken directly from the gobs of O’Rourke and Spillane who are bags of wind, we played some decent stuff in the second half but Mayo have better players, don’t really see where the negativity was, we tried to work the ball up the field and were smart enough to get men defending when they needed them, Mayo were just better at taking there shots, some people want 30 headless chickens running around the field
